Internet Tip - Royalty Free Music at No Charge Where can you find royalty free music at no charge? Many sites on the web offer royalty free music with a price tag. But here I have compiled a list of sites with royalty free music that is actually free. There are actually quite a few artists that offer their music under the Creative Commons License, it is sometimes just hard to find them through all the sites that ask a lot of money to use one song. Recommendations Some artists allow you to use their music in commercial productions whereas others only allow you to use their music in personal productions. My recommendation is that whether you use an artist's song in a non-commercial way (for a personal web page, a personal slideshow, etc) or in a commercial way (for a TV commercial, film festival, movie, etc.) that you contact the artist and let them know how you are using their music.

Here are some examples of how to mark your work with the CC license. How to use the CC License Chooser You can easily add a CC license notice to your website by visiting the CC license chooser. At this point, all you have to do is: 1. The specifics of inserting the code depend on how you edit your website. If all of the resources you are publishing on a single website are licensed under the same CC license, it makes sense to paste the HTML code into your website’s template (e.g., in a footer or sidebar area). 2. For example, if you select CC BY in the chooser, the default text you receive in the second line of html code is: The bolded text is descriptive, and you can edit it without affecting the code. Example: Website This is the CC license notice at the bottom of this website. Author? License? Machine-readability? Other good stuff? Example: Blog If you visit Cable's blog, you will see this notice.
