Music liability insurance is only underwritten by a small number of markets, very few of whom can match Beazley’s experience and expertise. Unlike most others, we have a broad appetite for US music risks, including rap artists.
From songwriters to record labels, Beazley understands the risks associated with doing business in this industry.
Coverage highlights:
- Unintentional breach of contract while composing or supplying music for an ad campaign
- Breach of scope of a music license
- Breach of written hold harmless or indemnity agreement when supplying music
- Breach of an NDA (non-disclosure agreement)
Optional covers:

From London we can offer cover in any territory subject to local regulations and Lloyd’s licenses.
We also have a specialist cover holder in Nashville, Tennessee.

Songwriting - Copyright infringement claim
A music copyright infringement claim involving two insured songwriters under two different policies and a non-insured, we agreed to use the non-insured’s counsel - who billed at a much higher rate - but we split the fees amongst the defendants. By working with the non-insured defendant and her choice of counsel, we were able to achieve a great settlement without spending a lot on defence costs.

Social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter), Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube have provided individuals with a publishing reach far beyond that of traditional media.
In our increasingly online world, the ease with which anyone, regardless of expertise, can publish articles, podcasts and videos, creates new risks for content creators and publishers, particularly the risk of being held liable for another’s reliance on their content, potentially regardless of whether they intended for their audience to rely on it.
