What "Royalty Free Music" Means.

How Does The Artist Benefit?

What is Music Licensing Anyway?
Music licensing is all around us. A popular song in a TV commercial or in a movie. The music on the radio. Music in restaurants and even elevators. Basically, whenever music is used in a commercial project or public space, that music has to be licensed for a specific type of use. The rights to use music are bought and sold every day.

What About Non-Commercial Projects?
Waterhouserock.com maintains generous policies regarding non-commercial use of our music. To request music for use in a non-commercial project, you must first meet the legal requirement for "non-commercial use" as defined by the Creative Commons License which governs our MP3 files.
