How to Find Free Public Domain Music For Your Website

When you think of music, you may think of Beethoven or Mozart, the Beatles or the Stones, or maybe Britney or Pink. You may love this music, but the only thing you can do with it is enjoy it. You can’t publish it. You can’t use it to jazz up your website. You can’t add it to your presentation at work or school. You can’t mix it, rap over it, and publish it under your own name.

If you are interested in finding music that you can use freely, you are actually looking for free public domain music. Unfortunately, however, free public domain music is difficult to find and ever harder to verify that is free for your use. A good place to start is PublicDomainEmpires.com, which not only shows you where to look for public domain material, but also tells you how you can use it not only to accessorize your creations, but also to create a profit by republishing the material yourself.

It is no secret that almost everyone has, at one time or another, downloaded a pirated song or a pirated movie. We have all made copies of songs, burned CDs, or loaned someone an album for them to record. This is illegal. If you have ever shown a movie in your home and charged someone even a penny to view it, you have broken the law.

So, it is important that the music you use on your website or presentations be free public domain music. By choosing music that does not belong to someone else, not only will you not be breaking the law, but you will also be ensuring that artists continue to create new material for us all to enjoy.

Publish MP3 Public Domain Music For Profit

For most of us who were old enough to vote in the 1980s, we remember buying the same songs by the same artists, time and time again. We bought the album in our teens, and maybe the eight-track tape when we had our first car. When we got a little older, we bought the same album again in cassette form, and when the 90s rolled around, we bought it one more time on CD. Every time we bought that “album”, a lot of money changed hands.

The artist got a few pennies, the composer got a few, maybe the musicians got some, the publishing house got some, and the record company who produced and distributed the actual piece of media got paid, too. When the same album came out, yet again, in an MP3 format, everyone was paid again.

There is a type of music that can be downloaded without paying anyone a cent – MP3 public domain music. This type of music is available to everyone to use for whatever reason they want. You can download MP3 public domain music to play at your wedding, to listen to in your car, to accessorize your blog site, or even to sing at karaoke night. Before using what you consider to be public domain music, though, you should verify that it is safe for you to use. Research how to verify that the music is public domain. At the same time, look for ideas on how to use it for profit.

MP3 public domain music is not pirated or stolen music. It is music that has been transferred to the public domain either because its license has expired or because its origins are unknown. Older compositions by classical artists are generally considered public domain. Nursery rhymes, national anthems, and many songs from early in the 20th century are considered public domain. Every day, more and more songs have their license expire and they are moved into the public domain.

Is There Such a Thing As Public Domain Art?

Anyone who has ever created a blog or put together a posterboard presentation for school knows that not all art is yours for the taking. Generally speaking, company logos cannot be used without the permission of the company. There are typefaces that are so recognizably linked to a company that they cannot be used (Coke, Disney, Hershey’s, Budweiser). There are also pieces of art – specifically art produced in the 20th century and later – that is linked to a living, breathing artist who has the legal right to a royalty for every time his or her work is displayed or reproduced.

An alternative to this type of art which is called royalty art, is something called public domain art. Public domain art is any artistic piece that can be used freely by any member of the public. Public domain art becomes public domain for several reasons. In some cases, a drawing, sculpture, or painting cannot be linked to a particular artist. Any depiction of “King Tut”, for instance is royalty-free because no one knows exactly who crafted the King Tut statue. This is public domain art.

Some art is not so easy to identify as public domain. For instance, small graphics used to brighten up websites may be used by many people, but that does not mean they are public domain. So, going to a site such as Public Domain Empires will help you identify which art is free to use, which requires a royalty and permission, and it also shows you how to create a profit by using this kind of art.

Using art without the permission of the artist is both unethical and illegal in most cases. However, using public domain art means that you can use the art however you wish, alter it if you want, and create a final product that you can sell for profit.

Download Public Domain Music to Create Profit

If you have ever been in an elevator, sitting in a doctor’s waiting room, or walking through a mall, you have no doubt heard some music playing softly over the speakers. Sometimes it is a well-known song that you can’t put your finger on. Maybe it is something traditional or classical, or just a very old tune that even your grandmother would know. That kind of music is public domain.

The term “public domain” is used to refer to music (and other art forms) that can be used freely by anyone for any purpose. A song that is not public domain cannot be used by you on your website or your blog. A song that is not public domain cannot be sung by a wedding singer or strummed on your guitar for profit. When you use a song that belongs to someone else, you have to pay them.

A lot of people choose to ignore the legal aspects of downloading music, but if you want to do it ethically and legally, you can download public domain music. There are a lot of places to do this. All you have to do to get your hands on the pie is look for listings of places where you can download public domain music as well as other pieces of artistic expression such as audiobooks, graphics, and software.

One of the nice things about public domain work is that once you download it and alter it in any way, it is yours. By altering the music or book, you have created a new piece of art which can require others to pay you royalties. In this way, if you download public domain music, you can use other’s original work (and a little of your own) to create a product that you can sell for profit.

Can a Public Domain List Help You Create a Profit?

Everyone knows someone who has an iPod that is full of songs that they never bought – they downloaded them for free from the internet. Everyone has also visited a website that is littered with photos of celebrities or extravagant graphics.

The songs on that iPod, and the photos and graphics in most cases are pirated. And, as such, they are illegal. Some people may argue that the internet is one big “free for all”, but in order for artists to continue producing the work we all love, they must be paid for it. Internet pirating takes away a lot of an artist’s profit and reduces the opportunities for legitimate artists to make a living.

However, there are ways to download great music, copy cool graphics, and even listen to famous books in audiobook format without stealing. This type of media is known as public domain (PD). Now, following this definition, media is work that has an expired license (for example, it was created more than 50 or 100 years ago), it is a traditional song or piece of art, or it is a piece of music or art that was intentionally created to remain in the P.D.

The only reliable way to make sure you are using PD work is to access a verifiable list. Such a list should show an accurate listing of places to find PD pieces that are free for you to use. Not only can you use pieces from a public domain list for your own enjoyment, but you can also use them for profit.

A website such as Public Domain Empires shows you how to use non-copyrighted work in the work you are already creating, and use it for profit. Making sure you are using PD art or music and not work that belongs to others is vitally important in making sure your business is free from potential legal prosecution.

W.M Heus can do three things very well; write, create products using public domain sources, and then do both several times over. He is an expert on public domain sources and his website EarnWithDomains-Blog.Com provides stacks of information on public domain list and more. Check out the site for more info!

Where Can I Find a Public Domain List?

If you have been using the internet for awhile, you are well aware that there are some fast and loose rules regarding the rights of authors, musicians, and artists. It seems that people share music and movies, software and audio books as if they were all free. Doing so is, of course, completely illegal.

In general, there are two types of media available. The traditional media that we all know and love – songs by Nick Lowe, movies by Paul Rudd, or books by David Sedaris – are all owned by the person who wrote them. And because they are owned, they are owed money for every time their music is played, every time their movie is viewed, or every time their book is read. A lot of people completely ignore these laws and do so at their own peril.

Looking for Public Domain Art?

If you have ever built a website or put together a Powerpoint presentation, you know that you can easily find “clip art” online that you can copy and paste. Some of this clip art is what is known as public domain art. Some of it is not. And, if you use art that is not public domain art, you could be in big trouble.

A new way of earning a living online is through the production of e-books. Most e-books contain information on a particular subject with graphics to illustrate important points or just to jazz up the pages. If you are planning on selling an e-book, you need to be very careful that the art you use is public domain art and not art that is owned by someone else.

Add Free Public Domain Movies to Your Website

If you have a website or blog, you know how hard it is to keep it fresh, up-to-date, and to encourage people to come back, time and time again. After awhile, you may run out of things to say or photos to put up on the site and it becomes not a hobby, but a chore.

There is one way to add content to your website that will excite visitors, keep them coming back, and enable you to add more while working less – and that is free public domain movies.

A free public domain movie is a film clip of any length – from a few seconds to an hour or more – that is available for use, free of charge. You may wonder why anyone would produce a piece of video that is essentially distributed for free. Well, there are several reasons. In general, a free public domain movie is one that is so old that its rights have expired (much like what happens to classical music), or a piece of video that was produced with the express purpose of widespread distribution.

You Can Download Public Domain Music Without Fear!

When you are in the grocery store, perhaps you hear a piece of classical music playing in the background.  You don’t know the name of the composer or even the name of the song, but you’ve heard this song a million times before. There is a reason for that – the music is public domain.

“Public domain”, by definition is music that can no longer be legally claimed by the composer or artist. In other words, no one gets paid when the music is used. When you hear a song that is not in the public domain, every time the song is played numerous people get paid – the artist singing or performing, the composer, and the publisher. Once a song becomes public domain, no one gets paid. It is free for everyone to use!

How to Find Resources for Free Public Domain Music

If you a student or work in a position where you commonly have to produce presentations, you know how hard it can be to find music to play in the background. Any decent teacher will give you an “F” if you produce a presentation using copyrighted work, and any employer that allowed you to have a recognizable artist’s material playing during your Powerpoint would be foolish.

To use copyrighted material is not only unwise, but it is unethical, and most definitely illegal. Artists, producers, singers, and publishing companies all own the rights to the materials they produce. These rights include, but are not limited to, the score, lyrics, arrangement, and actual sound recording. So, you can’t reprint the lyrics of your favorite song without correct citations and written authorization. You can’t play your favorite singer’s song without paying royalties.
