A quick tour of the nuances of copyright management in the world of music
One of the hardest parts of downloading and using background music is understanding (legally) where, when, and how companies might use certain tracks.
Being familiar with the various copyright laws and licensing details of the Creative Commons organization will give you the confidence to use background music in videos and help your business avoid legal problems.
Royalty Free
Royalty Free means no royalties are required. With this designation, users have the right to use copyrighted music without having to pay “royalties” for the continued use of the content. By paying for a music license once, the buyer can use the music as much as he wants.
Royalty Free is often confused with “free” music, but this is not true. The author or singer who created the music decides how copyright will be exercised in relation to a particular work, and also determines the corresponding value.
Public Domain
“Public Domain” refers to all non-copyrighted works that can be used without permission and without having to pay the author / artist. Thus, the user has access to free use of music in the form that he needs.
As a rule, this means that the work can be copied, distributed, interpreted and put on public display for free, since, in fact, such content belongs to everyone.
Creative Commons
Creative Commons (CC) is one of several public copyright licenses that allow you to freely redistribute a copyrighted work. Each Creative Commons license ensures that licensors are rewarded for their work. This is the standard way to transfer copyright for creative work.
You may have noticed that on the sites above, many of the tracks are protected by various Creative Commons licenses. Authors usually upload their work, indicating exactly what users will have to do in order to adapt them for other purposes (citing the source, for example).
