We get a lot of questions about copyright and music, and one of the most common is whether or not instrumental music is copyright free. The answer is a little complicated, but we’ll do our best to break it down for you.

Copyright is a type of intellectual property that gives its owner the exclusive right to make copies of a creative work, usually for a limited time. Copyright is intended to protect the rights of the creator of a work, and it can apply to many different types of creative works, including songs, books, movies, and sculptures.

Instrumental music is not automatically copyright free simply because it does not contain lyrics. An instrumental piece of music can still be protected by copyright even if it does not contain any words. In order to be considered copyright free, an instrumental piece of music must meet all of the requirements for copyright protection.

What is Instrumental Music?

Instrumental music is a term that is used to describe any music that is solely focused on musical instruments, without any lyrics or singing. This means that vocalists and rappers are not included in this genre of music. The history of instrumental music dates back thousands of years, with some of the earliest examples coming from Ancient Greece.

Throughout the years, instrumental music has been used in a variety of settings, including as background music in restaurants and stores, as well as in film and television. It has also been used extensively in video games. While the vast majority of instrumental music is created and performed by professional musicians, there has been a recent trend of people creating their own instrumental tracks using online programs like Garageband.

Given the long history and popularity of instrumental music, many people assume that all tracks in this genre are automatically considered to be copyright free. However, this is not the case. In order for a piece of instrumental music to be considered copyright free, it must meet a very specific set of criteria.
