Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this scary music on YouTube without copyright claims?
Yes. All Artyfile tracks are fully cleared for YouTube. With an Artyfile Basic license, ads may be placed by Artyfile via Content ID, but you will not receive a copyright strike. With a Limited Edition, you earn a share of that global ad revenue from all videos using the track, turning a potential claim into a source of income.
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. Artyfile Limited Edition includes the same license PLUS a real share of ownership in the master recording (as a Music NFT), allowing you to earn royalties from global streaming and future sync sales.
How do I receive streaming revenue from my Limited Edition shares?
Artyfile collects all streaming royalties and sync fees from platforms worldwide. Revenues are pooled and paid out quarterly (minimum €/$50) directly to your Artyfile account, with a detailed statement.
Is this a one-time payment or a subscription?
All Artyfile licenses are a one-time purchase. We do not have subscriptions or recurring fees. You pay once for a lifetime sync license.
