Hey guys,
Im new on Futureproducers and I hope some of you can help me with some questions about my upcoming release.
To introduce myself I´m a 24 years old Hip Hop producer from Germany. I´m producing since 8 years and I got lots of beats which i´ve never sold or uploaded in any ways. So i decided to put them on a Instrumental mixtape which i´ll release as a free download this fall.
On this mixtape there will be mainly Beats without any samples but there are some with a sample in it and of course I don't have any rights to sell them.
My first question is - Is it even legal to offer sample beats for free or is it maybe with borderline values? I often find producers who sell sample beats or upload them to youtube. And I´m sure they not always got the rights oder payed for it.
So if I do so and put some sample based beats on my mixtape I would like to put a pdf or txt as well into the rar file where I can advise to this. Some kind of terms and conditions that there are for example beats on my mixtape where I got no rights for and that it´s illegal if you pick one of this beats for you're song and you use it in a commercial way.
Maybe there is a standard form for it or some of you can help me with this issue.
Thanks in advance,
Mattus
