I shoot for celebrations and party's. When I am done I give them a DVD with all the pictures. I would like to add music to the DVD. Can anyone please tell me where can I get free music without infringing on copy rights.
The operative word is free.

Thanks for any help.

If you charge money for these DVD's, then nowhere.

Amazon has a ton of free music in the form of MP3s. I think iTunes does too in their own format...

From that site:

"You may use the sound effects and audio clips on this web site free of charge in your video, film, audio and multimedia productions but do not re-sell or re-license the sounds to anyone else, post on a web site for download, or link directly to individual sound files. We hope you enjoy browsing our royalty free sound effects and royalty free music collection!"

Boldface is not on site; I added it! This is standard; free sites may omit it, but they aren't the ones who'll get sued!

So it seems like you can use this music and sell the final product, but you cannot offer the music for sale.

Realize that you get what you pay for. The proud music library site has a tremendous selection of "royalty-free" music - which only means that you don't have to pay each time you use it. You DO have to pay for the license for each piece you use. But they have a HUGE selection and you can sample it all. You can sell CD's/DVD's in which you have used this licensed music as well - you just cannot re-sell the music by itself.

wow. 63.13 for 1 piece of music. A little to high for me. Is it always that expensive?

So you changed the intent and concept of the site by adding to the disclaimer, wonder if that is legal as it does not belong to you?

Expensive? For unlimited use?

Compared to what? Your 99¢ iTunes that you're only allowed for personal use?

And how much do you sell your images for to use commercially? That's exactly what's going on here. A work product is being licensed for paid distribution.

Maybe you need to re-examine what you charge for your work if this is an expected/promised part of it. You should be charging at least 3 times your cost of goods. And more likely 4 times.
