Hi all,
I have an important update for how song submissions will work. If you are one of the artists submitting your music to be featured on this channel, keep reading because this post is for you!
First, I can’t thank you all enough for your continued enthusiasm for Royalty Free Planet. I genuinely love supporting artists from all over the world who are trying to get their music out there. I’m fortunate enough to have a music promotion platform like RFP where thousands of listeners can discover new artists every day.
It has been increasingly difficult for me to spend the time and energy to maintain this channel as much as I would like, especially because it is not monetized. I have significant responsibilities professionally with my ‘day job’ in the video editing field and extensive personal responsibilities as a new father, so my time is becoming much more limited.
This leads me to a big change for how music submissions will work. If you are an artist submitting music to be featured on this channel, I will now require a minimum donation of ‘1 coffee’ from my Buy Me a Coffee donation page: www.buymeacoffee.com/ITQtMuL (1 coffee = $5)
Or a $5 minimum donation via PayPal - paypal.me/RoyaltyFreePlanet
This donation helps cover the time it takes me to create the video assets, populate the video descriptions, maintain the channel as a whole, and feature your music on royaltyfreeplanet.com.
These are the steps:
• Submit your song by emailing me at royaltyfreeplanet@gmail.com
• I will respond letting you know if the music is a good fit for RFP
• If the song is approved, you will then need to submit the donation to get the upload process started
I love you all and hope you understand this update as it relates to my time commitment to this growing music platform. I’ve been running this channel on my own since 2015 and plan to continue for many years. Thank you all for being part of the journey.
Please email me or comment below if you have any questions!
💙 Dave

RFP is getting an upgrade! 🤯
Royalty Free Planet is getting its first major visual overhaul since the channel debuted in May 2015. We will start uploading videos using this new and improved look very soon. Video descriptions will also be slightly different for a cleaner look and a few new additions - such as RFP lore! That’s right, Royalty Free Planet now has a backstory! Here’s a sneak peek:
━
When the Big Bang created the universe at the dawn of time, ripples of energy vibrated throughout the cosmos and produced the first form of music. The motion of these energy waves moved in sync with the celestial sounds, which was observed and admired by the Gods. Wanting to contain and protect this audiovisual phenomenon, the Gods created a special place to keep it alive so that all life in the universe could enjoy. This is the birth of Royalty Free Planet.
━
Thanks to each and every one of you for supporting this channel. We love what we do and will continue to not only post amazing music, but also lean into our sci-fi space roots to explore new ways to create unique experiences on RFP.
Special shoutout to the talented artists who release Creative Commons music - making it easier than ever for creators to elevate their work through impactful music. 💙

What to do if you get a copyright claim notice ❗
Just so everyone is aware - There is a fraudulent artist going around claiming ownership of music that they did not create. If you were affected by this, it can be resolved. So far, the following RFP songs have been claimed by this thief:
• Synth Kid – Hope Is Not Lost
• Synth Kid – Devotion
• EVA – 失望した
The email I got from YouTube says that all these tracks were claimed by "Adrev for Rights Holder". I disputed each claim and they have been resolved. Here's what to do if this happens to you:
• Select "See Details" from the copyright claim on your video. Click "Select Actions" and "Dispute".
• Select the checkboxes that you are not infringing on anyone's copyright and that you have a license.
• When it asks you to enter a description, type the following:
This song was released under a Creative Commons Attribution license by the original artist. I am correctly using the music according to the license terms.
Original Release: synthkid.bandcamp.com/track/hope-is-not-lost
(Provide the appropriate release link here from the original artist's Bandcamp or Soundcloud)
Then click Submit and wait for the dispute to be reviewed and the claim will soon be released.
I apologize for anyone affected by this. It's unfortunate that frauds like this take advantage of the generous artists who release Creative Commons music for content creators. The music uploaded to this channel is strictly curated and features only trustworthy artists that clearly state their CC license. Feel confident that if you receive a copyright claim for a song you found on this channel, it is false and can be disputed without penalty to your channel. Of course, make sure that you are crediting the artists in your video descriptions as the license states.
Thank you all. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.

Greetings Citizens! Time for a channel update and some news.
Although Royalty Free Planet is still demonetized, this channel’s growth has not slowed down. I’ve been thinking of ways to introduce new video content (in addition to music uploads) so that I can add more value to this channel and hopefully get approved for monetization again.
So we are partnering with our companion vlog channel, New Retro Dave, to bring you a series of videos that are practical examples of how you can use the music found on Royalty Free Planet to elevate your footage!
New Retro Dave is a channel specializing in vlog content, and each video in this series will be a short “trailer” for each of their vlogs edited to music found right here on RFP. The goal is to expand the content we offer and hopefully spark some creative ideas for how you can use the power of music and editing to enhance your projects! 🎬
Stay tuned for uploads of this new content coming soon! 🍿
