Practical guide

Permission and originality are separate checks

Start with the source

Permission to use a source does not guarantee platform monetization or distribution. Keep permission records and make the editorial purpose clear. Avoid presenting a copied excerpt as your original recording.

Review before publishing

Before publishing, review the current rules of the destination platform and inspect the complete clip in context. A rights gate addresses source permission; it cannot promise eligibility under every platform programme. Prepare your permission evidence.
