What does “Copyright” mean?
“Copyright” is a legal concept that gives creators of original works—like music, books, movies, artwork, and software—the exclusive rights to control how their work is used.
What Copyright Means for You:
Even if you find "free" or "Copyright Free" music, videos and images, online and you can download or stream them, that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to use them however you like. Always double check the terms of service or if in fact the asset is not violating someone's copyright.
Key Points to Remember:
You can look and listen (e.g., stream a song, watch a video)
You can’t copy, repost, remix, or use the work (like in your own videos, songs, or projects) unless:
You have permission or a license.
The work both the writing and the recording is in the public domain (usually very old)
It qualifies as fair use (limited, specific exceptions like commentary or parody).
What does T.O.S. (Terms Of Service) mean?
Even if you find "free" or "Copyright Free" music, videos and images, online and you can download or stream them, that doesn’t mean you’re allowed to use them however you like. Always double check the terms of service or if in fact the asset is not violating someone's copyright.
