🟣 4.5 Copy & Non Copyrighted Music

Article I - Members of our community stream on Twitch and record for YouTube, and the music being played can cause them issues. This can also unintentionally cause issues for the server itself if DMCA decides to turn their focus on us or the FiveM community as a whole. This does not mean music must come to a complete end. Absolutely not. We would love to start seeing original artists fly into our city and create music we all love and share. But this can also affect them for the same reasons. We ask the community to please be mindful of those around them. Are you and some friends riding around the hood listening to copyrighted music? If everyone is OK with it, then it is fine. Just make sure its low enough for those only in the car to hear it. Same goes for in buildings. Got a sweet bar event coming up? Planning on using some DMCA music? Let them know in advertisements! No DMCA music? Same thing! I'm sure people would love the transparency. As for how to ask someone on if they're OK with music? You could easily state: "Hey, do you mind if I play some music from my Bluetooth speaker?" "Want to hear this up and coming artist? They don't even have a record label yet!" (DMCA free music) "Come to Marti-ni-ni! Have some drinks! Chat with friends! And listen to some indie-artists!" (DMCA Free) "Live cook out! Full of BBQ! Beer! And the best rock bands you know!" (DMCA) We greatly appreciate the community and their understanding as we transition into this new rule set. We hope this gives people a better understanding. If you're looking for some DMCA free music, Soundcloud and Monstercat are great places to start. You can also use Google to help you better understand artists copyright agreements and how they effect people.
