License Options, Rights, & Restrictions

Rights

What you can do with either licence

Both licences cover commercial and non-commercial use across physical and digital projects. If it's a creative project, it's almost certainly covered:

• YouTube videos and Shorts
• TikTok, Instagram, and social media content
• Films, documentaries, and cinema
• TV and radio
• Podcasts and audio dramas
• Video games and apps
• Livestreams on Twitch, YouTube, and similar
• Advertising and marketing materials
• Business presentations
• Theatre and live performance
• Background and hold music
• Escape rooms (yes, really)
• Pretty much anything else

You can also edit, cut, pitch-shift, slow down, speed up, or otherwise manhandle the tracks to suit your needs. Make them your own — that's what they're there for.

What you can't do

A short list, and none of it should come as a surprise:

• You can't redistribute the music as standalone audio — on Spotify, iTunes, or anywhere else. I already publish it myself, and stores don't tend to look kindly on that sort of thing anyway.
• You can't sublicence it. New licences come from here, not from you.
• You can't claim ownership of the music, altered or otherwise. Don't be cheeky.
• You can't register it through Content ID systems on YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, or similar. This one makes me genuinely sad every time someone tries it.
• You can't claim trademark or service mark rights over the music within an end product.
