@kysongbird78: Hahaha, yep look at what you started. You created a monster! lol.

Seriously though, it’s probably a blessing in disguise really, because by the looks of it, this is an issue that has needed to be addressed for some time. Will be good once both musicians and customers alike are confident of what can and can’t be done with AJ items.

I agree, this is great news. Thanks KingDog for stepping in with the info. I speak for myself here, but I’m sure there quite a few Audiojunglers who have been following this thread recently not really knowing what is what. This is mostly down to the license details not being clearly defined for our marketplace.

As a newcomer to AJ and really looking forward to spreading my business here, I’ve been feeling a little doubt over the last day or two since this thread began, especially regarding the use of extended licenses. Look forward to the further details on all of this.

I also found this one, i hope it clears things up a bit http://audiojungle.net/forums/thread/using-items-on-audiojungle-in-a-songringtone-for-distribution-on-itunes/50044?page=2#461429

Good find simaudio. Definitely throws some more light on the matter, but it’s interesting to see that even 8 months ago, nobody from Envato responded to the matter. I really hope they’re not taking an ‘out of sight, out of mind’ attitude to this issue. I think Scott mentioned in another thread that they’ve got a law person working on on the licenses, so I hope that this is addressed when they come to ours.

Cheers AlumoAudio, it’s worth looking at the previous post that i made on page 5 of this thread if you haven’t already done so.

Ahhh, thanks Sim, completely missed that!

Well done mate. Always a good feeling. Plenty more great milestones to come, I’m sure

I always assumed the license was referring to visual works, rather than another musical work.

Check this out:

Cheers Art, funnily enough I just read that on the license pages. I’m sure this is going to shake a few boats!

“c.Unless you have our prior written consent, you must not directly or indirectly license, sub-license, sell or resell or provide for free the Work or offer to do any of these things unless the Work is incorporated into a work you have created.” Maybe this can be modified as “unless the Work is incorporated into a VISUAL work you have created”.

Exactly my thinking. I always assumed the license was referring to visual works, rather than another musical work. Definitely need Envato put the record straight on this one, even though it may be common knowledge amongst many on AJ.

I think that would be highly contentious if you just took a track and layed vocals and a few sounds on top. I certainly wouldn’t allow this to happen with any of my tracks and would personally dispute such cases. AJ needs to seriously update their license agreements if they are allowing this kind of usage.

I completely agree. I think staff need to step in and clear this up. This type of usage worries me somewhat. It’s making it sound like the licenses to our items have some kind of Creative Commons attributes to them, which I was under the impression they did not.

Welcome to the party. Great portfolio you’ve got there too

There was not a slightest shift in my sales rate on the week I was featured… I guess the real deal is to hit the popular files page.

Well, the practice has shown that there’s something else to it – the mysterious X factor. This week one of my files has been at the popular file page without a single sale.

And this week a track of mine that should have shown up on that list, as it sold enough, didn’t even appear. Hmmm.
