The Terms of Use
Hello Everyone,
I would like to clarify what is allowed and what is not allowed under the CC BY license.
1️⃣ What does “Share” mean in a CC BY license?
“Share” means you may:
1. Copy and redistribute the material — simply use it.
2. In any medium or format — for example, YouTube, websites, TikTok, vlogs, podcasts, etc.
3. For any purpose — in any area. Three tracks are already being used in fields such as sports, hobbies, crafts, religion, philosophy, games, art, and others.
4. Even commercially — you may monetize the content you create.
✅ This means that you can create your own original works where the track is a part of your overall concept (+ attribution).
2️⃣ ❌What is NOT allowed
Regardless of any Creative Commons license, the tracks remain the intellectual property of the author/owner.
❗This means you are NOT allowed to simply copy and paste the music track and try to make money directly from it.
For example, you are NOT allowed to:
❌-Create playlists, music compilations, or music videos using these music tracks.
❌-Upload the music tracks as they are to other platforms.
❌-Sell these music tracks in any form.
❌-[other similar activities]
3️⃣ Legal interpretation
👉1. All music tracks are the intellectual property of the author/owner and are protected under intellectual property law.
👉2. Intellectual property law takes precedence over Creative Commons licenses. Creative Commons licenses are merely a type of framework, a set of best practices intended to facilitate communication between the author/owner and users. However, they do not have legal authority and do not transfer ownership from the author/owner to the user.
👉3. Therefore, only the author/owner is entitled to derive material benefits from the work itself, and this right is guaranteed by intellectual property law.
👉4. If anyone wishes to use a music track as such, they must obtain the author’s/owner's consent, agree on compensation with them, or purchase the appropriate license.
