Is there a way non-profits can license music for a cheaper price for use in Youtube videos?
Question by Jordy: Is there a way non-profits can license music for a cheaper price for use in Youtube videos?
I know that you have to pay licensing fees to use popular music. I work at a non-profit and we’re looking to use some popular music in online videos (like top-40 stuff from years’ past). I know this can be a bit expensive. Does anyone know if there is a discount for non-profits? Also, how do you go about paying the licensing fees?
