So now let's quickly talk about licenses because it's important you shouldn't use other people's content
from the internet because you might get reported if this people notice that you did this.
So it's important to check the license of the content that you want to use whether it be an image a
sound an icon a looping video just about anything.
There are several kinds of licenses out there.
But the most misunderstood one is called a royalty free so royalty free doesn't mean that it's actually
free.
I find that the name is really misleading and maybe it should be changed one day.
But basically it means that once you acquire the rights to that content and image for example you want
to pay the author any more after that.
Every time you use it because this is the definition of royalty free from Wikipedia or royalty free
or R.F. refers to the right to use copyright material or intellectual property without the need to pay
royalties or license fees for each use or each copy or volume sold or some time period of use or sales.
But that doesn't mean that the content is free in the first place.
You still have to pay for it but you just the once and then you can do whatever you want with it.
Normally this also is specified.
What can you do once you pay a certain type of license.
So don't get misled by this royalty free doesn't mean free.
On the other hand there is also totally free content.
But the water has to specified and here it can get tricky.
For example there is another set of licenses called Creative Commons.
Now that's something closer to free.
You can use that content for free but it can be restricted or it cannot be restricted.
It depends on what the order is specified.
For example you might be able to use a Creative Commons content for free if it's not for commercial
purposes or you could use the Creative Commons for free even for commercial purposes but you need to
critique the order according to their rules that you have to read and understand.
And what I'm saying here also applies to music as well.
Basically all kind of content on the Internet.
So pay attention to this especially on YouTube.
That's because once you do your video you can't change it and reapply another one afterwards.
So if you can get thousands of views etc. and someone reports you for using their content YouTube might
delay this video and you will lose all that traction that it created.
