Music in animation. Dec 21, 2024


Is it possible to add NON-commercial music in the animations? For example copyright-free music like the old Angerfist songs? Obviously with credits

Good evening! Copyright-free music and certain licensed music—depending on their conditions—is generally allowed in Newgrounds animations.


It’s important to understand that copyright-free music isn’t necessarily the same thing as non-commercial music, though. Someone could compose a non-commercial project while still enjoying copyright protection.

Understandable. So, is it not possible to put it? Even if you put the credits?

I’m saying it is very possible. Just check to make sure that it is actually copyright-free/public domain.
