This reads that the "Content Provider" gets NOTHING other than a license to the content... It's "Royalty Free" which means that the Content Provider gets NO ROYALTIES, you just have to "acknowledge" that they hold the license to the content in anything you create using it. Not really a big deal. Just "Legal-eze" for saying "you must acknowledge us in anything you create with these backing tracks, as we own the license to these backing tracks, but you don't have to pay us anything". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't this mean that they can basically do whatever they want with any song you use these tracks in? Edited May 4, 2020 by Pseudopop 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSMcGuitar Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Maybe it's just me, but backing tracks are for practicing improvisation, so they're really not meant to be chopping up and making a whole new song out of. ? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, not disagreeing with you there. Just wanted to point out the draconian terms, considering that these are, IMO, comparable to loops to some extent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
