Royalty-free does not mean copyright-free
SoundMarket music is copyrighted music that you license through your subscription. That means you do not own the music, but you receive the right to use it according to your plan. You pay your subscription price, and there are no additional fees when you publish covered content.
- Broadcast uses may require cue sheets.
- Broadcasters pay performance royalties.
- There is no extra cost to the creator for covered uses.
