Copyright claims can be a real bummer for any creator that upload content on video sharing platforms or social media. To avoid such problem, purchasing a music license from an online music library is the go-to solution. In this article, we will explain how to avoid copyright claims by licensing music from BAM Music.
Why you need a music license?
If you’re a filmmaker or content creator, you maybe looking for music to enhance your work. But in the same time, you know that you can’t use any music however you want. The law protects artists and their rights so that you can’t use their work without their permission. To use a song in your creation you basically have to own the composition’s rights, the master’s rights, and the performance’s rights. If you composed and recorded the song yourself, that’s fine because you’re the owner of the creation by default. But in most cases, and especially if you’re reading this article, people are looking for others’ music to use in their project. And in that case, you need to purchase a music license.
