6. Can I receive a copyright strike?

We NEVER claim a video if credits have been given.

If you receive a third-party content or copyright claim you will see that it is not ours. In that case we invite you to dispute the false claim by following this video.

If you are wondering why this happens, the answer is simple: music distributors do not properly control the songs that reach them and introduce songs stolen from other artists into YouTube's copyright system. As a result, the original artists receive claims with their own songs, which makes no sense. To learn more we recommend you to read this post.

7. Where can I download the songs?

In each song you can find a button to download it in .mp3 format for free.

8. I'm an artist, How do I send you a song?

Send us a link to your demo so we can listen to it at: hello@breakingcopyright.com If you send us a soundcloud or youtube link that's much better!

9. Can I use one of your tracks as a base for my song?

Unfortunately this is not possible to avoid future copyright problems. Please note that buying a license for commercial use does not give you permission for this.

10. Can I make a music compilation?

No, making a compilation is forbidden even giving credits to each of the artists.
