The songs on this site are provided for free, legal download...but there are a few restrictions. Since we receive a lot of questions about this, here are some guidelines:
- unrestricted personal listening is permitted. This includes listening on a personal computer, burning a personal CD and transfer to a personal listening device (i.e., iPod or MP3 player)
- burning a copy to give to a friend as a GIFT is permitted, as is sending an MP3 as an email attachment
- redistributing this music to others and charging a fee of any kind for it is not permitted (as this implies that you have ownership and the legal right to do so, which you do not)
- posting these songs on another web site is not permitted without express permission (as this implies that you have ownership and the legal right to do so, which you do not)
- use of this music by a company for on hold listening, as a soundtrack for a broadcast or non-broadcast commercial, as part of a custom CD to send as a gift to clients, or as background music for your company's Christmas e-card is not permitted. Companies are, by definition, for-profit ventures...whether or not the immediate use appears to have a direct profit motive.
We understand that some companies have an interest in use of this music as part of a product, gift or presentation. We do not have the authority to grant this permission. Please directly contact the artist who created the music to seek their permssion, and understand that most will require some level of financial compensation.
Thanks for visiting our site and enjoying our music.
