  • I'm a musician: why shouldn't I give my music to Royalty Free sites?

    Because they exploit you by not giving you fair compensation. Selling your music, accepting music from anyone, not subscribing to any exclusivity actually depress the talent and creativity of composers. Furthermore, the moral right of copyright is by its nature "inalienalable" and often these sites take possession of your intellectual works. The result is a market that is depressed to the detriment of everyone. It happens as in the chains of Sant'Antonio where only those who are at the top earn.
