Royalty free music is any stock music that does not require on-going fees or royalties paid to the seller of the music, commonly referred to as "sync fees" or "synchronization fees". Many music companies will charge additional sync fees depending on whether the music is used for broadcast, non-broadcast, nationally, internationally, for education, for web sites etc. Another term for royalty free music is “buyout music”. The user pays a one-time fee for unlimited usage of the music (the Stockmusic.net license falls into this category of license). At Stockmusic.net we charge only $29.95US regardless of the type of usage. You can use it in your videos, films and multimedia productions over and over and will NEVER incur further charges OF ANY KIND from us.
Does this mean that the composers who created the music don't get any royalties? - No. Composers always get paid public performance royalties through performing rights organizations such as BMI, ASCAP, PRS and SOCAN based on a random sampling of music throughout the region represented by the organization. Television networks, radio stations and others that directly facilitate "performances" of music pay yearly fees to the performing rights organizations who in turn pay the composers. Under normal circumstances a TV producer, film maker or media creator who buys royalty free music does not have to pay royalties to these organizations. If the music is being used in a TV series for example, the producer will provide cue sheet information (which includes the composer, their performing rights organization, the length of the music tracks etc.) but will not be required to pay any additional fees. At Stockmusic.net we provide cue sheet information with all tracks purchased for your convenience. For detailed information on submitting cue sheets, click here.
If you want to use royalty free music in your restaurant, retail establishment, or other public establishment, you will likely be required to pay a tariff to a performing rights organization such as BMI, ASCAP, SOCAN and PRS (or other organization depending on your country) unless you have a specific performing rights agreement with the creator of the music. We can provide such an agreement for tracks found in the On Hold and Retail Restaurant sections of the Stockmusic.net website.
