Hello Bren (Whilst the others guys have mentioned that you can get royalty free music off the net by searching through Google etc, I don't think that this was your problem - you are trying to trace whether a specific piece of music is royalty free???? Is this right???) It depends upon what the music your client has provided.........unless he can produce a royalty free licence, I would guess that it is not royalty free and it is covered by copyright. When I purchase royalty free music off the net, the retailer always forwards to me a licence, whether it be by post or electronically, with all my address details on it. The other way to establish whether it is royalty free is to do a search on the composer or the production company on the net and their website may give you a clue..........assuming you know the composer/production company/orchestra/band etc or even the name of the piece........if it's classical music then if the composer has been dead over 50 years then it's public domain although the orchestra still has copyright over that production of that piece of music! What does your client want you to use it for? i.e. one presentation for internal use or for major distribution around the area/country etc? Happy hunting............ DS
