<h1>Free YouTube Music Licensing</h1>
&nbsp;
<h3>How It Works</h3>
We fully encourage the free use of tracks from the Hidden Shoal Publishing catalogue for personal, non-commercial usage within video works and audio only videos on the YouTube network. Fore these usages we utilise the AdRev system which picks up the use of any of our tracks on the YouTube network, notifies the user that the track is copyright protected and will then enable ads on the specific video. It's important to understand that you will not receive a strike against your account, nor will it affect your account or video in any other way. It's also important to understand that this process does provide a much needed income stream for our artists, and forms a part of the return they truly deserve. Plus you get to use some amazing tracks from a large catalogue without being hassled!

<strong>Note :</strong> If you have paid for a commercial license through Hidden Shoal and you are receiving a notification from AdRev then please <a title="Contact Us" href="http://www.hiddenshoal.com/contact-us/" target="_blank">contact us</a> with the video url and we will whitelist it from the system. Easy! Also we are setting up an online, automated licensing system for personal and commercial online video licensing so this process will be made much easier. Expect this in the first quarter of 2015.
<h3>Conditions</h3>

	<li>Your video may not qualify for free use if it is of an overtly religious or political nature.
