Cheap Now Can Cost Later
A low licence fee does not tell you what a music decision will cost when markets, formats or rights need to change.
Takeaway
Assess brand fit and future use alongside today's price. Consider where the track needs to work and whether its rights can extend.

Because cheap lasts exactly until you need the track somewhere else. A track becomes expensive when it's wrong for the brand, unavailable in the next market, impossible to extend, unsupported in a new format, or even replaced after launch.
The useful question is not what it costs today. It is what the decision will cost over time.
Price is a line item. Cost is a consequence. [music] EightSix.
