These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright

YouTube has become the world's largest stock music space .No, I'm not kidding: this channel is heavenly, and this one, and one more, No Copyright Music.Music For Creators is also very useful.Oh yes, and this one.Come on, and one more.I could spend the whole day like that.It is recycled, shared, transmitted.


The youtuber ecosystem has provided an ideal scenario for content providers, both audio and video.From one year to this part, professional DJs upload their sessions for others to reuse, channels that used to climb an hour of almost unknown models , today they are broadcasting directly, because YouTube, via streaming, contains more stations and in better transmission quality than any other radio on the entire planet.


This system raises a question: can I really use all that music for my project? I have the total freedom to play with it and create a commercial product with it? Well, yes and no, let's see how this new model works.


COPYLEFT: IT'S MINE BUT YOU CAN KEEP IT


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


First of all, it should be noted that most of these channels upload material under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International.You can check the link right here.Essentially, our mission as receivers and users is reduced to citing the author and indicate if appropriate changes have been made to adapt them.All manipulation of the original must be documented, just like the original source.


In exchange for referring the person or persons responsible, we can incorporate this music into our works, even when they become successful projects.There is no copyright, there are no royalties or commercial royalties.That is, there is an unwritten law that recommends not using open source music for projects.For example, they would never reward a film for Best Original Soundtrack if you recycle music.In fact, according to the rules, you may not even enter into competition.p>

Unlike platforms such as Bensound, under this guideline you do not have to pay a user license.Creative Commons is hosted within the copyleft; In essence, this is a practice that allows free distribution, with or without modification of the work , on which a right of preservation can be demanded.It is the author who marks the " level "in rights of use.


COPYRIGHT: PAY IF YOU WANT TO TOUCH IT...OR WAIT 50 YEARS


The intellectual property law and its various updates conform a set of legal norms and principles that include both the responsibility of the author-register, regulate and supervise the original works-, at the same time that has a series of moral and economic rights .And so we have been since 1710, from the Statute of Queen Anne.


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


Every author has the right to register his work.In fact, the author does not expire, it is for life and is associated with a real name.We frequently fall into the confusion of associating intellectual property with exploitation rights. If you you invent an idea, once you get the patent that idea will be yours forever .


If in exchange for a sum of money, and after a regulated agreement, you decide to assign exploitation rights, another person or organization may market and profit from it.But the offer to extend this contract has a limit, different for each country-in addition to the scales marked by territorial rights-When a work becomes public domain, from here an interpreter can execute the piece without having to give explanations.


This is a constant in the music industry: we often know the singer who plays a certain piece of jazz, but not its original composer, because they have expired years ago.The author will always appear as a side note, but the star who popularize or reinterpret this piece will be the one who puts it on the radar.After all, art is mutant and permeable .


THE INTERNET ARCHIVE


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


Luckily, there are many means that preserve the music and also allow you to make use of it.Just listen to it, as is obvious.The Internet Archive has a record of 2.5 million free-of-use audio pieces : speeches, radio shows, home performances, professional recordings, everything.


As in Public Domain 4U, the Internet Archive has a double function: Art is recorded, observed and preserved over time and offered to new generations to become something new.The website has the option to download in different formats.Once in our possession, we can now produce new pieces from it.


NOISETRADE


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


NoiseTrade asks the user to download that, in return, drop some money or at least allow to collect some user data (email) so that the artist or the platform can recommend similar music. A very model similar to Bandcamp where the fan feeds the authors' portfolio directly, without intermediaries.


Unfortunately, NoiseTrade has not achieved Bandcamp's success- 225 million dollars paid to artists since its founding in 2008 -, nor does it have such a large catalog-610,000 albums guarantee it-.


Of course, there are many free songs and it is one of the most common ways to make yourself known.The old «pay me in visibility» is for those who do not have resources.On the contrary, if you are a creator, you get a widget to insert and user page from which you can promote your tracks, demos, playstis and others.


FREE MUSIC ARCHIVE


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


Free Music Archive acts similarly to the previous ones, but has a huge and high-fidelity library. And all for free; No half measures.Free Music Archive is a true oasis of Creative Commons philosophy, the home of free creators who take as much as they offer.


JAMENDO


Jamendo is a platform similar to SoundCloud and Bandcamp: the creator uploads his MP3 file and any user can download it.Some files remain protected through a payment gateway, but it is very uncommon for artists to block their files., always have previous samples and the possibility to listen to the songs from the browser , without downloading anything.


AUDIOBLOCKS


These are the best sites to download, listen and reuse music without copyright


AudioBlocks has one of the most varied stocks on the market: You can download a minimal techno track or an interpretation of any jazz standard performed by a big band of high flights., each track becomes a use contract: if you want to obtain a commercial benefit, you will have to rent a use license.


On the other hand, if you only want to use it in non-profit projects, for mere diffusion or private use, you can download that song as many times as you want.There is also the possibility of joining the platform and paying a subscription with the that you can use any web content -even when the premium service expires-the platform also has its video link, VideoBlocks.


MUSOPEN


Musopen is aimed at musicians and lovers of classical music.Royalty free, of course.You can search for the type of piece, composer, performer, instrument, tempo or format. This collaborative project is ideal for teachers of music, choreographers or videographers looking for professional performances and created by a apasioanada community.


In Musopen you can make a small contribution Monetary to maintain the project.Everything was born from a Kickstarter where you aspired to enjoy the great classic pieces without worrying about royalties or copyrights at half expiration.The idea, of course, is to use pieces of public domain with which to create a huge library for all Internet users.



And, like the old saying, there are not all who are although they are all who are.Do not forget to dive on the Internet: You do not have to pay a real fortune to musicalize a project -o to enjoy good music-.

Internet of plants: a tomato knows as much about networks as you

The possibility of plant species communicating through complex networks, what some scientists have called the internet of plants , is an issue that has been discussed for a long time, at least 20 years.It was in 1997 when the scientist Suzanne Simard , from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver (Canada), published a study in the journal Nature on how Forest plants use complex systems where species exchange nutrients, send warning signals and relate to the environment. Although there is no scientific consensus, several investigations seem to support this hypothesis.If confirmed, as we read in a fascinating report by the Sinc Agency, the forests would act as huge structures that are articulated under the soil through a network in which factors invisible to the human eye interact and can determine the future of the climate.Understanding how it works is the challenge that even science faces. internet of plants and the wisdom of forests The premise of Suzanne Simard ...

New evidence published by the Scientific Advisory Committee on Radio Frequency and Health (CCARS) in its 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report indicates that there are no adverse health effects derived of exposure to radio frequencies emitted by mobile phone antennas or radio and television broadcasting.No evidence has been found on the danger in wireless systems (Wi-Fi) or airport scanners. The new 2016 Radio Frequency and Health Report collects, updates and analyzes the scientific evidence on the subject for the period between January 2013 and June 2016. radio frequencies are not dangerous According to the conclusions of the report " the critical analysis of the evidence supports that there are no technical or sanitary reasons that justify the arbitrary and discretionary imposition of more demanding exposure limits than those recommended by WHO-ICNIRP and the Union European ", while the application of more restrictive limits" would imply increasing the n...

Twitter shows the best of ourselves (it wasn't always going to be the worst)

In the era of social networks, accustomed to interact daily with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google or WhatsApp, we forget that these tools are phenomenal in the History of Humanity capable of mobilize hundreds of thousands of people in very different geographical locations in a matter of hours or even minutes. Already in the past, Twitter has asserted its more social dimension to mobilize people, companies or organizations and also, from a broader perspective, feelings of solidarity and support or also of rejection and repulses towards causes with an important mediatic impact.Recently, Twitter was once again the engine of solidarity after Dortmund's explosions as the Borussia Dortmund team bus passed on its way to the local stadium on the occasion of the Champions League match between the Borussia and the Monaco. These explosions did not have the devastating effect that they could have caused , so that everything remained in a major social commotion at international lev...

Most apps for children violate your privacy

Do you know if apps with which children enjoy their safety? A team of researchers from the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) of the University of Berkeley has studied compliance with the Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) in these mobile applications for the little ones, through a scalable dynamic analysis that allows the automatic evaluation of privacy behaviors of Android apps. After studying 5,855 applications aimed at children, the research concludes that most of these apps, 57%, violate the privacy of their users mainly due to the use of data by third parties. apps for children and privacy Although many apps offer options in their configuration to respect the federal law that protects minors in the United States, by disabling tracking, their results suggest that a majority of applications either do not use these options or propagate them in wrong way. In addition, researchers believe that 19% of apps for children send user IDs to third parties to show ...

Are social networks damaging democracy?

The revelations according to which Russian agents inserted ads on Facebook that tried to influence the 2016 US elections raise a disturbing question: is Facebook bad for democracy? As an expert in the social and political repercussions of technology, I think that the problem is not exclusively from Facebook, but that it is much broader: Social networks are weakening some of the conditions that have historically enabled the existence of national states democratic. I understand that it is a dramatic statement, and I do not expect anyone to believe it immediately, but considering that almost half of all potential voters received false news promoted by the Russians in Facebook is an argument that must be debated. Associate Professor of Philosophy, Director of Center for Professional and Applied Ethics, University of North Carolina-Charlotte How we create a shared reality Let's start with two concepts: the "imagined community" and the "bubble filter". ...
