The provision of auditory compositions for use during the autumnal holiday celebration, where no recurring payments (royalties) are required to the copyright holder after the initial licensing fee. This type of music allows creators to use spooky or festive sounds in their projects, such as videos, games, or haunted attractions, without ongoing financial obligations tied to its usage. For example, a haunted house operator can purchase a license once and play the musical selections throughout the Halloween season without tracking usage or paying performance royalties.
The availability of this type of soundscape is important for several reasons. It reduces the barrier to entry for small businesses and independent creators who may not have the budget to license popular, copyrighted tracks. Its accessibility promotes creativity and allows for a wider range of projects to incorporate appropriate sonic elements. Historically, utilizing this method for music rights has allowed for the expansion of content creation, enabling even niche producers to enhance their offerings and reach wider audiences without concerns about costly copyright infringement.
