Phil,

You feature a lot of music in your videos from all over and you always promote the music. Is that all it takes or do you get permission. Some of us just want to make fan-made music videos – how do we do it? YouTube use to take them down, now it leaves them up with ads and the revenue going to the the copyright holder I imagine, so it appears as though it’s ok to do, and it appears to be a win-win for everyone. Any caveats?

Cheers,

Lance

Hi, here´s my entry for the moby videocompetition run by genero.tv. The song “wait for me” inspired me to make this emotive video. I supported my father to care for his wife. She was diagnosed with cancer.

With my new 5D i captured some Moments in camera.

Please watch it and vote for me if you feel like it.

Hi this site is great! But I have a question: how long to have a song accepted for a project? I asked for one more than 5 weeks ago and still pending. I mean this approach is great but still waiting for it becomes a little bit difficult to manage

anyway many thanks to Moby for this approach, I hope it will motivate other great artist.

It’s a great idea and I stumbled upon it about a month ago. Only problem is the serious delay on it.

I requested mine three weeks ago for my non-profit production, and again one week ago, and no reply. I now have to find replacement music because I can’t wait any longer.

Obviously, free is nice, but they claim to give replies within five days, which is not the case.

I’ve had three songs from Moby for a personal documentary project. You just have to submit a project that is non profit. If George Lucas happens to watch your film, choke on his popcorn and wants to take your film to Hollywood you only have to inform Moby’s support team and they’ll make a sensible offer for the music rights. It’s very generous and kind of him to support independent film makers.

This is a great site. I used it for a project a while back. It took about 3 days for them to respond, but I imagine they get a ton of requests every day.

This has been around for a while. It’s cool in concept but clunky in execution. The tracks are lukewarm at best, they don’t have a signature moby feel, really they’re not unlike other professional loops you’d get for a few bucks from a stock site.

I still think it’s awesome but I’ve found it hard to get as excited about “moby gratis” as I thought I’d be.
