For a lot of people who create their own videos or start up their own small business, online store, website, etc, one of the last things they ever think about is the background music used to keep customers entertained while they go about their business. Although it may seem of little importance where you get the music you play, there are some very harsh penalties for using content without proper permission and usage authorization. As a result, you may be hit with some big financial penalties or have your content removed.
Thankfully, there are very cost effective services available that allow you to get hold of royalty free music and eliminate any risk of an infringement. However, before we show you where to find royalty free music, it’s important to make sure you know the difference between “Royalty Free” and “Copyright-Free”, as they are similar terms with very different content usage rules.
Royalty Free generally means a user can pay a one-time fee or yearly subscription in exchange for the right to use a track, song, or other musical content. The same applies to photos and other digital work protected by copyright, patent, or trademark. Royalty Free content usually doesn’t incur ongoing license fees, though this may vary on the particular item. What royalty free doesn’t mean, however, is that the work is copyright free.
Copyright Free: Means that the content (any kind of content, photos, music, videos, etc) is not protected by copyright law and can be used as you please for free. That said, it is possible to purchase a copy of copyright-protected content from creators to use as you please. However, the original creator may choose to place some restrictions on how you use their content. It’s also a legally binding contract so if you enter into an agreement, you need to stick to the terms agreed upon.
