The reverse has also happened on occasion: someone releases a track as royalty-free, then another artist samples that work but attaches copyright to their work. ![]() That license does bar you specifically from redistributing and profiting off the music directly, but allows you to synchronize it with other content freely (and allows profit in that case). It's not public domain, nor is it copyright-free like they informally claim. A line in a YouTube description of "I hereby release this into the public domain" does not necessarily make it so. Very, very few modern works are public domain, and I wish streamers luck in finding truly public-domain music. Effectively it can be similar, but the specific terms within do matter. You can generate a license for everyone to use that permits many things, but this is not the same as public domain. You still made the thing, and the law recognises and protects that strongly. This means licenses are needed, and there is still a copyright holder/owner. In many places, it can be difficult or impossible to waive your moral rights legally. Public Domain is frequently misunderstood. Thanks to /u/iTruthful and Conceptional for the art!
