What music is fair to use in your films?
The music you use in your films should not violate copyright law, and anything that you use should be properly attributed in the credits.
There are some great sources for fair use music on the web. Have fun, explore, find new music!
Here are a few places to look:
Creative Commons – big list of music sources for video
Soundcloud’s Creative Commons archive
…And here’s some more info on the whole copyright question (and a music video) from ITF Jenny Kijowski.
Please note: Not all audio with Creative Commons copyright is legal to use. There are variations on Creative Commons copyrights. You must avoid works that are licensed as No Derivative Works. This means the artist does not want the work altered, and that includes synching it with images/video in a film.
