No. Whenever a song is indicated as “not represented” in our database, it means that, while we have logged information such as the title, composer and/or publisher of the song, we do not represent the owner of that song for mechanical licensing purposes. There are many instances where the ownership of a song is divided between two or more publishers, and CMRRA may represent some, but not all, of those publishers. In these instances, we are able to issue licences on behalf of the publishers we represent, but before the user can legally reproduce the song in question, they must also obtain licences directly from the copyright owners that are not represented by CMRRA.
