imagination7413 Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 Ethics and morals.What if you do use copyrighted music, and a buyer later get in trouble? What’s to keep them from blaming you for their problem? For not warning them? People who don’t care about copyright laws probably also don’t care if other people get caught, so long as they themselves don’t, and tend to be happy to point fingers and pass blame.The only way to not get in trouble is to stay blameless.(You can theoretically do this with loop-hole-proof wording in your gig that’s also ToS compliant, but you also have to already know what the copyright law is, Fiverr ToS is, and Fiverr policy is, and by asking this question in the forums, you’re implying that you don’t know.)Let me put it another way: Is it worth the risk of being banned?

If you want me to i can add non copyrighted music from my own libraries to the video.”im not sure if having this in my FAQ helps in any way but what you’re saying is i should only use non copyrighted music even if the client wants a copyrighted one?

coerdelion Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 You need to be saying clearly in both your faq and buyer requirements that you only use copyrighted material when it is properly licenced.Make them confirm it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
