hello, i just bought the new humble bundle, and i'm pretty new to this stuff, and i got a little worried about rules and such when it comes to releasing a piece of music on let's say a youtube channel. my questions are as follows.

i can just release my creations for free w/o any trouble regardless of the sounds i've used, as long as i don't make money off of it? free netflix netflix free trial upcoming movies

if the above is correct, wouldn't people just undermine that by releasing the music for free and have a donation thingy?

i guess those are my only 2 questions for now, mby more will arrive as i get into it more.

Not quite - see the licensing terms and conditions here.

Do read through the text and note the last but one paragraph.

Now magix producer planet have a comercial use license, pretty affordable! I guess to distribute you have to buy this license, but for your own personal use like vídeo presentations and slide show for your work or home you can use the normal license.

Technically 'your work' also comes under commercial use, or as it is sometimes called, 'public broadcasting'.

This one is a grey area and I would suggest you ask Magix - email shop@magix.net
