When you grant others permission to use your music for a particular use, you're licensing it. You can do this freely (think Creative Commons) or you can charge a royalty. Licensing your music for others to use in film, TV, commercials, websites, other media can be lucrative. The tools, sites, and services below can help you learn more about licensing as well as get you
started.
