DOWNLOAD POLICY

Rock It Productions has offered free beat downloads for non-profit use since 1999, that’s almost 10 years of beats! All we’ve ever asked for in return is a link back to our website (www.RockItPro.com) and for members to follow the simple rules below.

We’ve set our Leasing price at a low, reasonable rate so that anyone serious with their music can afford it and release their music the right way. All it takes is $30.00 to Lease a beat and you’re legally covered to sell your album, perform live shows, and have your song played on the radio.

Many hours are spent in the lab making beats, mixing, working on the website, providing a service for you guys…10 years of it, but we don’t do it to have our beats stolen, re-sold or used illegally, it just isn’t right. We want to keep providing beats for years to come so please respect our music by keeping it legal and following the rules.

Lets say you’ve downloaded one of our beats, recorded a song to it, and now you’re wondering what you can and can’t do with the song, here are some guidelines so you’ll know.

What You Can Use Our Beats For:

• You can post the song on your personal website or a Soundclick/Myspace type website where people can listen and download the song for free (you must give us credit for the beat by linking back to our website www.RockItPro.com).
• You can put the song on a demo CD you will be handing out to friends/family for free.
• You can burn our beats onto a CD for freestyling in a parking lot at 3 a.m.

What You Can’t Use Our Beats For:

• You can’t sell the song you recorded for any type of monetary gain, this includes selling internet downloads, even for $1 each.
• You can’t sell your demo just to cover packaging expenses, no matter how small the expenses were.
• No performing with our beats at live shows or concerts, even if it’s a non-profitable event.
• No radio play.
• Don’t post our beats on a website without your vocals over the beat.

For commercial, profitable releases, performance usage, and monetary gain of any kind you must first purchase Leasing Rights or Exclusive Rights to a beat. Please visit the BUY A BEAT page for purchasing info.

If you use one of our beats you must remember to give credit to Rock It Productions by providing a link back to our website www.RockItPro.com
