Giải thích loại license beat: MP3, WAV, trackout, unlimited, exclusive

Что такое лицензия на бит?

When you buy a beat on BeatStars, Airbit, or any other marketplace, you are not buying the beat itself — you are purchasing a license to use it. The license is a legal contract that grants you specific rights: what you can release, how many times, on which platforms, and for how long. The producer retains the underlying copyright unless the contract explicitly transfers it.

Beat licenses come in two families: non-exclusive (leases), where the producer can sell the same beat to unlimited artists simultaneously, and exclusive, where you become the last new buyer going forward. Within the lease family, there are typically four tiers — MP3, WAV, Trackout/Stems, and Unlimited — each granting broader usage rights and higher-quality files at a higher price point.^[1]

• Rights layer Identify composition, master, sample, lyric, artwork, voice, and name/likeness rights separately.
• Territory layer List where the release, sale, sync, or platform use will happen. A global upload can trigger local rules.
• Platform layer Distributor, marketplace, YouTube, Content ID, DSP, and social-platform policies can be stricter than copyright law.
• Evidence layer Save contracts, split sheets, invoices, metadata exports, source files, approval messages, and revision history.

MP3 Lease — начальный уровень

• MP3/WAV Entry tiers usually provide limited files and capped usage. They are useful for testing a record, not for a major campaign.
• Trackout/stems Stems improve mixing and delivery but do not make the license exclusive.
• Unlimited Unlimited usually removes stream or unit caps while remaining non-exclusive.
• Exclusive Exclusive should state future sales, prior leases, ownership, publishing, Content ID, and whether stems are included.

Do not fill gaps with optimistic assumptions. If ownership, sample clearance, AI disclosure, publishing splits, or territory language is unclear, pause the workflow and get a narrow review of that issue.

WAV Lease — стандартный релизный тариф

The WAV lease adds an uncompressed WAV file alongside the MP3, giving your mixing engineer full audio fidelity to work with. Streaming caps typically double or more relative to the MP3 tier — commonly landing in the 200,000–500,000 monetized stream range — and most producers allow two music videos instead of one.^[2]
