Terms od 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. My music is already being used in fields such as sports, hobbies, crafts, religion, art, and others.
4. Even commercially — you may monetize the content you create. Please note that many music creators do not allow monetization when their music is used — but I do.
✅ This means that you can create your own original works where my music is a part of your overall concept (+ attribution).
2️⃣ ❌What is NOT allowed
Regardless of any Creative Commons license, the tracks remain MY intellectual property.
❗This means you are NOT allowed to simply copy and paste my music and try to make money directly from it.
For example, some people take various music tracks and make long videos such as “5 Hours of Peace and Relaxation.”
💡A compilation of music is NOT considered an original work. It simply uses the intellectual property of different artists, which is against intellectual property law.
Such compilations are attempts to profit directly from my music — and I do NOT agree to that, since I am the owner.
⚠️If I discover such content, I will file a copyright claim against you.
3️⃣ Simply be fair
This is not like “whatever”. I put my time, effort, and money into creating all these tracks. My goal is to achieve the highest possible quality and to give you music that’s useful for your projects. I have many ideas in mind that I would like to bring to life and share with you. However, if I notice that my work or I are being disrespected, I will simply close this business and register all of these tracks.
4️⃣ ...
I didn’t want to write this, but I just came across someone who uploaded my track to their own music account.
To everyone violating my intellectual property rights (section 2&4): Are you really so stupid as to think that a CC BY license allows you to take someone else’s work and present it as your own? What is in your heads? Hay? Do you read books? Maybe you should start.
Let me clarify this once more for those who seem to have trouble understanding:
1. Intellectual property law takes precedence over Creative Commons (CC) licenses. CC licenses are only a framework — a set of good practices designed to make creative sharing easier. Since the law stands above these frameworks, this means that by copying and reuploading my tracks, you are violating both the law and the CC license. It’s simply illegal.
2. If you want to use a track as it is, you have to:
-Ask the author for permission. Did you ask me?
-Discuss compensation with the author. Because (let me emphasize this) only the author is entitled to earn money from their music tracks in the original form. Did you ask me? or
- Buy a proper license
If you think that what you’re doing is right, then try this test: ask each of the authors whether they’re okay with their tracks being included in a music compilation or uploaded to another platform. Just ask, and see how they react. 😄
What's wrong with you people?
