After years of the music industry in general Not Getting It, here is some refreshing news. Moby has created a Gratis website where independent filmmakers can download and freely use a selection of his music in their productions. The catch is that it must be non-commercial use…but Moby addresses the possibility of licensing the work at a later date.

“the music in the film-music part of moby.com is available for free use for student films and independent films and non-profit films and shorts and etc. the music is available so long as these films are not used for commercial(i.e-making money)purposes. if you use the music in your film and your film goes on to make money: great, and congratulations. before your film makes money, though, you’ll have to apply for a commercial license for the music. i PROMISE that the commercial licenses won’t be expensive or difficult to obtain. and any money that this music generates from commercial licenses will be given to a charity.”
