Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this German folk music on YouTube and monetize my videos?
Yes, but monetization works differently. Our music is 100% cleared for YouTube, meaning no copyright strikes. Instead of you monetizing the video directly, Artyfile collects ad revenue via Content ID. If you own a Limited Edition share of the track, you earn a portion of that revenue from every video on YouTube that uses the music, not just your own.
What's the difference between Artyfile Basic and Limited Edition?
Artyfile Basic gives you a lifetime, worldwide license to use the music in your video projects for a one-time fee of around €29.90. Artyfile Limited Edition includes that same license PLUS a share of ownership in the master recording (via a Music NFT), allowing you to earn royalties from global streaming and future sync sales. It's an asset that can grow in value.
Is this music P.R.O.-free?
Our licenses are comprehensive and designed for easy global use, covering all necessary rights for online video content. You won't face extra fees or complicated reporting for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, or corporate websites.
Do I need cryptocurrency to buy a Limited Edition Music NFT?
No. You can purchase both Basic and Limited Edition tracks easily with standard currencies like EUR, USD, and GBP via credit card or other common payment methods. We handle the blockchain part for you.
What kind of license do I get with Artyfile Basic?
You receive a lifetime, worldwide synchronization license. This allows you to use the music in any video project (online ads, social media, corporate films, documentaries) forever, without any recurring payments.
"The Bavarian folk music from Artyfile gave my travel documentary the authentic soul it was missing. The lifetime license was refreshingly simple."– Josef Mai, Independent Documentary Filmmaker
