I agree. Also, I remember hearing that in addition to a "commercial use" license, there's another type of license that allows you to promote another product or service. Like using background music in a YouTube video is one thing, but using background music in a commercial for your product is another.

@BrettFromLA - do you know if that was a CC license?  I'm not aware of anything more specific than the NC option on the CC license.  There are some other licenses that allow more granularity though.

I might be thinking of the licenses offered by AudioMicro.com. I can't remember where I've seen that. (I use others' music in my YouTube videos when I don't have time to compose it myself.)

<p>I am making a film promoting a health product. I want to use the words &quot;eat, sleep, rave&quot; as screened text throughout the film. This is the name of a Fat boy slim song. I also want to know if I can use this remix of the song as background music. It holds a creative commons license. But I am very ignorant towards copyright laws and what I can and can't do. Obviously the product is not related to the song, other than its use for rejuvenation after a late night. Here is the link to the creative common's remix. <a href="https://soundcloud.com/riotten/eat-sleep.." rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://soundcloud.com/riotten/eat-sleep..</a>.</p>
