What does the PRO label mean?

Montag, August 27th, 2007

Proud Music has two classes of tracks available for licensing:

1. Tracks, that are not registered with any Royalty Collecting Society or Performance Royalty Organisation (PRO).

These tracks are marked:

PRS: Completely Royalty-Free Music

For these tracks you do not need to submit a cue sheet - unlike other libraries of royalty free music on the net.

2. Tracks, that are registered with a Royalty Collecting Society.

These tracks are marked:

PRS: [Name of a Royalty Collecting Society]

PRS stands for: Performance Royalty Society/Organisation, i.e. the royalty collecting society, where the composer registered this work.

Please ask your client to submit a cue sheet to your Royalty Collecting Society. This is the same procedure with nearly all royalty free music you aquire on the net.

Can I pay in currencies other than Euro?

Mittwoch, Juni 6th, 2007

Yes of course. If you choose to pay through Paypal, you can fund your Paypal account (e.g. through your credit card) in Dollars, Pounds or any other currency, that Paypal supports. At the moment you will be billed automatically in Euro, the exchange rates will be automatically calculated through Paypal.
If you require an invoice showing Dollar, please contact us.

In short: If there is Paypal available in your country (currently over 100 countries worldwide), you can license music at Proud Music!

Do I have to license different language versions extra?

No, you don’t have to license the royalty free music differently, whether you are creating one version of a video, or several, e.g. different language versions.

Do I need a new license if I want to use a track again?

Montag, Mai 21st, 2007

Our licenses are not calculated on a per-project-basis, so you don’t need to relicense if you want to use a track that you licensed from us in a different project.

What types of usage are not covered by a standard license?

Montag, Mai 21st, 2007

In the following cases, we ask you to request an individual license deal:

-You would like to license tracks for an audio-only cd
-Our music should become the main part of your product, e.g. derivative music
-You want to use our tracks in a video or computer game.
-Resale of on-hold music

-Making available our tracks on-their-own, e.g. not within your product

How many copies are included in a standard license?

Montag, Mai 21st, 2007

Our standard license automatically includes up to 1.000 manufactured copies. If you require more than these, you may simply purchase an update license to the appropriate reproduction license. You only pay the price difference. Please contact us through mail.

May I use your music in online videos?

Montag, Mai 21st, 2007

Yes, you may. Videos using royalty free music licensed through our standard license may be made available online. Examples would be showing a product- or imagemovie on a company website. Furthermore you may upload these videos to video platforms such as youtube, google video etc.
