in case you want to use my music

the main thing i ask for: credit me. unless your project grows in size to the point where it's bringing in thousands per month or something along those lines, you don't need to pay me anything. but buying the album/song is appreciated.

who is allowed?

if you'd like to sample any of my songs, as long as your release isn't on spotify/apple music/similar services (i am 100% against them), and as long as you're not gonna copyright claim others, you can do it.

if you're doing youtube videos of any kind, or a podcast (again, not on spotify/apple music/similar services), or livestreaming, go ahead.

if you're a sex worker of any kind (selling content, camming, posting to free sites, etc.) and you aren't working for a big studio, you can do it.

if you wish to upload my music to youtube, as long as you turn off short sampling and monetization, it's okay.

if you're a tiktoker, make sure not to upload any samples of my music to the "commercial library" (or whatever it's called), because i'd rather not have my music available there in that particular way. otherwise, you are free to use it on any vids you make.

if you're an independent film maker/game dev, go ahead. should you create a soundtrack album, however, my music is not to be included. and if your project gets picked up by a major studio, then you must remove any and all songs of mine from it.

who isn't?

if you're the owner of a corporation and/or a big studio or working for one, take a hike. no amount of money will get me to give you permission.

if you're a right winger or a "both sides are bad so i won't take a stand" type of person, go fuck yourself.

if you're a politician, regardless of left or right wing, stay away from me and my music.

if you use artificial intelligence in any way whatsoever, get the fuck away from me and everything i create.

are you willing to make an exception?

if your work (regardless of the kind of work) is released under a small, indie production company/label, and if you have nothing to do with artificial intelligence, then maybe. get in touch via mastodon, let me know what you have in mind, and i might allow it.

do these rules apply to your other works (fiction, poetry, photography, etc.) too?

yes.

what if i wanna talk directly to you to make sure?

talk to me on mastodon and we can discuss it.
