User Can I use "free for profit" beats off of YouTube?

Last updated on
May 6, 2025

Yes, you can use "free for profit" beats from YouTube, but only if you have a valid, written license from the creator that explicitly grants you the right to commercially distribute and monetize the track.

Unchained Music does not accept just a link to the YouTube video or beat. You must upload the actual license document, agreement, or screenshot of the license terms from the creator that clearly states your usage rights.

Without proper documentation, your release may be delayed, rejected, or removed. Always be sure you have explicit permission for distribution, and review our full Content Policy to ensure your release is eligible.
