The songs on the Creator-Safe Playlist are for streamers and content creators.
You can find our Creator-Safe Playlist on Spotify for ease of listening and on Soundcloud which is download-enabled.įirst, any use of our music must comply with the Riot’s Legal Jibber Jabber in all respects. Direction and Guidelinesīecause of those complexities, we’ve worked to help curate a list of music that Riot considers to be safe for streamers and content creators to use, as well as to try to set some general guidelines that are easy to understand. Due to the nature of complex music agreements and multiple ownership structure, we can’t clear the use of them to streamers or content creators. This is most often seen in some of our bigger songs, most prevalently, recently with K/DA and True Damage. There’s a bit of “middle-ground” where we have collaborated with artists on certain tracks and albums, and since a majority of the songs are remixes of compositions that Riot fully owns, we are still able to offer most of it to streamers and content creators for use in whatever way they want.įinally, the complexities really come into play when the composition itself isn’t owned by Riot, or when Riot has collaborated closely with other artists in creating the song. However, things start to get a little complex when other artists or labels (and songwriters and publishers) are involved. In this case, we can offer these songs for streamers and content creators to use in their streams, videos, etc.
LEGAL JIBBER JABBER FULL
Because of that, Riot retains full rights to the composition and the sound recording itself. When a song such as a champion theme is created, these songs are usually done entirely in-house at Riot, or with direct partners of Riot. While we don’t think it would be worthwhile to explain every facet of how music is made and how deals are done, we do think that having context about why certain music that Riot has had a hand in is restricted from general use by streamers and content creators. Our partners include fellow music artists, songwriters, producers, labels, music publishers and more. While navigating this space, we want to be good partners with those we work with so that we can continue to create new and exciting music for our players and fans.
There are built in copyright laws, governing entities, and a multitude of well established business entities within the music industry. The music industry is ever-changing and, even for us, fairly complex. This is going to be a long article, but one that we plan to keep updated, and one that we hope can help provide some context, direction, and examples here to help bring a better understanding to how Riot is working in the world of music. We’re excited that so many streamers and content creators have used our Creator-Safe Playlist since we put it live a few weeks ago, and, like we mentioned, we are committed to continuing to expand the options you have for music available for use in content for your community. We have continued to follow conversations many of you have had about the difficulties in this space, and we hope to be able to provide you with more options for music to use in your content as we move forward.
As you may have seen a few weeks ago, we made a commitment to offer better support for streamers and content creators when it comes to their use of Riot Games music.
