Why do I need to credit the artist and include a short URL in my video description?

So you can enjoy a huge catalogue of chart music, we’ve negotiated deals with tons of labels, publishers and rights holders who manage music from artists all over the world.

As part of the deal, we told our label partners that YouTube Creators have the power to add value to their artists in more than just licensing.

Crediting artists when you’ve used one of their tracks is a great way to prove that the YouTube community adds value to the music industry.

Providing easy links to stream and share tracks outside of Lickd contributes to healthy artist exposure and shows your support for the music industry!
