Hi,
First up, I’m really enjoying the selection here.

Secondly I’m new to making short film and such like, most of which I will upload to You Tube. I’m no musician, so need to either recruit one / some, or use tunes that are royalty free. In terms of the license on the music here, what does one have to do to be able to use all of a song or just part thereof? Is it a question of crediting the artist? Asking the artisits permission? Can someone point me to the procedure / protocol please?

Many thanks
Colin

Hi Colin,

Glad you’re enjoying the music here!
You’ll have to do your own research to determine if a recording qualifies for the specific use you want.
Good luck with the films and thanks for visiting!

Hello,
I’m a student at a pre-professional ballet school. This year, I’ve been given the opportunity to choreograph a piece of my own; however, the other choreographers and I are restricted to using music that is in the Public Domain, because our pieces will be performed at a show that charges admission, and the performance will be recorded on DVDs that will be for sale. How do I know which song recordings on this website are free and legally available for use for our show? They’re all great, but I don’t want to pick something that will get me into trouble, or something that I won’t be able to use.
Thank you for your time!

Does anybody know if “A Change is Gonna Come” is in the Public Domain?
