After searching online for copyright music, I have collated a list of useful websites and gathered information regarding the services they provide that my group and I can use when creating our teaser trailer soundtrack.
Freesound Website - (https://www.freesound.org/)
Freesound aims to create a huge collaborative database of audio snippets, samples and recordings released under Creative Commons licenses that allow their reuse. Freesound provides new and interesting ways of accessing these samples. They also aim to create an open database of sounds that can also be used for scientific research.
Freesound was established in 2005 and is currently being maintained and developed by the Freesound team composed by current and former researchers and students of the research group. Freesound can exist due to the support of Universitat Pompeu Fabra, anonymous user donations and t-shirt sells, which provides them with the needed hardware infrastructure to handle the site
Jamendo Website - https://www.jamendo.com/en#en/faq
Jamendo is a music website and an open community of independent artists and music lovers. They refer to themselves as"the world's largest digital service for free music". Since the beginning in 2005, Jamendo's music has been licensed under Creative Commons licenses. Applied to all songs, these licenses allow artists to publish their music and preserve their rights while providing users the freedom to download it for free and redistribute at least non-commercially, with other permissions varying by license.
The goal of Jamendo is to be the link between artists who want to share their music and audiences around the world, both private and professional. At the centre of Jamendo is an economic model that grants free music downloads for web users, while at the same time providing revenue opportunities for artists through commercial uses, via the music licensing platform Jamendo Licensing which sells licenses for music synchronisation and background music; the website has a community of over 2 million members in total.
