Royalty free music is the cost-effective alternative for many producers and avoids the annoying bureaucracy and high costs of the user companies. However, one should always note the following: Royalty free does not mean copyright-free. So in any case you need a release from the composer to use the music in his video production.

This royalty release should be comprehensive, regardless of whether the film is published, for example on the Internet or on Youtube, or reproduced as a DVD. The release should not be limited in time, valid worldwide and independent of the circulation of the phonograms. And very important, the name of the composer must be listed, because then the Gema can clearly check whether the author really produces gema freely.

The following applies to music from Kayser Medienverlag: Buy the music once and use it again and again in your own video productions free of charge. Regardless of whether the finished films are shown publicly or passed on as a video, sold or distributed on the Internet on YouTube, there are no additional costs. Each buyer receives a personal royalty release certificate from the composer, issued in his name. All music titles come from the film composer Johannes Kayser, who has specialized in the production of royalty free film music for over 30 years. Everything from a single source creates legal certainty for every video producer and his customers.
