⚡UPDATE ⚡Since I released this video Lickd has undergone a lot of changes. It still is possible to license an individual track BUT it's more expensive than it used to be. Lickd now instead points to a subscription plan where you pay $15 a month and then each commercial track costs $8 to license. It's still a GREAT service but I wanted to provide some clarity on how it works now (vs how it was when the video was first released). If you are after some AWESOME Royalty Free Music - please check out my very own library here: ⚡musicradiocreative.com/collections/royalty-free-music ⚡ - this is by far the best way in which you can support my channel. 🔥🔊🎤🎉

I want to license video, killed the radio star to use as my theme song for one of weekly live streams

The problem with Lickd is that they have only like half the music of any given artist, and they usually don't have the one song i'm looking for. It's super annoying.

Mike, thats absolutely amazing, I have been wanting to use LDN, London Calling, London Town etc but gave up - brilliant video as always and another amazing tip. Thanks a million

Hello Mike - Thank you for the well-done video about 'Lickd' :) Unless I missed it, could you please explain where/how a 'Lickd' license number should be displayed in any Video/Film/Documentary? Customarily, credits are listed at the end. Should I list the license numbers for the songs I purchased from Licked at the end or beginning? Thank You so much and good luck to you ..

@MikeRussell

You’ll find full instructions on the Lickd website which should keep you legal using copyright music.

Question, are the licenses you pay for perpetual? As I mentioned in my prior comment, I'm not looking to just reuse the content rather I'm looking for my son to cover it. Is there ongoing royalty payments that we would expect in addition to the checkout fee?

@MikeRussell

Жыл бұрын

The license from Lickd allows you to use the licensed track in one single video. It does not allow for modification so would not include making a cover version under the terms of license.

QUESTIONS: Am I able to download the soundtrack off a different website but still use the same license I purchased since I already have some videos with the same music but from a different website? Is the license only compatible with the soundtrack download provided with the purchase or does it work if I download the same song from a different place and use the license I purchased? Also, if I use the license I purchased in a video I already posted by editing the video’s discription and putting the license in will it take away the copyright claim? My video was posted on 7/16/2022.

When I go to the website, the only option it shows to create an account is to pay the monthly subscription for the stock tracks, and then also pay per chart song.

Sorry Mike, but this title, "How to Use Copyrighted Songs on KZread Legally," is, in my opinion, deceptive clickbait. Long time viewer. Disappointed by your tactics here. Your solution? Pay for them, which is neither novel nor delivering on the premise of the title. The reason I watched the video was I hoped you'd had news that KZread had finally made a deal similar to that of Instagram (which allows on-site use of very A-list music in Stories and Reels), but alas, it was simply bait and switch to your sponsor's product. By the way, I went into their catalog (not that they make it easy without an account). While there are some A-list artists in there, most are not the hit makers promised. Again, sorry to be a critic, but this tactic really falls short in my opinion. Your past Adobe Audition tutorials had earned my trust. Not that it matters to you or anyone in the comments, but that trust just went poof.

It is nothing more than an advertisement for a paid service.

The point was your video offered nothing substantially distinct from these existing solutions, yet the title intentionally failed to disclose this - in fact - purposefully failed to disclose you were pitching another pay service. I have a paid service I use for royalty music and have used for years. I did not mention them because I'm not pitching anyone else. I feel misunderstood was a charitable way to characterize your reply. Based on the quoted section above from my second comment, intention also appears to play a role. For those just tuning in, the video's title is/was, ""How to Use Copyrighted Songs on KZread Legally" Delivering on that title is simple: Have a license from the rights owner by paying a license fee, or otherwise obtaining permission. Video ends. This video is a camouflaged commercial for a specific paid service.
