Frequently asked questions 1.What is "royalty-free" music?
1.What is "royalty-free" music? Royalty-free music commonly refers to stock or 'library music' licensed for a single fee, without the need to pay any subsequent royalties. There are many applications for which music must be licensed, such as for use in video and multimedia production, but the traditional payment structure (in which a royalty is charged for each usage) would be cumbersome or more costly. Royalty-free music libraries address this by offering music that can be purchased for (in most cases) a one-time fee and then be used by the purchaser as many times as needed. For example: If a piece of royalty-free music was purchased to be used on a multimedia CD project, it would not matter if one CD or 100,000 CDs were produced - the purchase fee would be exactly the same. Precise details of the payment structure and the extent of the rights granted vary from library to library, as specified in a license agreement. 2. If I buy the music from you , can I use it for anything I want? No, just about anything but not everything. See the Licence info for a precise list. 3. Will I receive a license document with my purchase? You will receive an agreement, in normal language (not legalese) that will confirm the terms of your purchase, along with a receipt. 4. Can I use your music in a video that will be posted on YouTube, Google Video and/or similar sites? Yes, as long as it is not used as sonic branding... in other words, as long as it is not used as identity music for a company. If this is a gray area, feel free to contact us.
