You are required to provide attribution/credits to Peder B. Helland in your video. This can either be done in the video itself or in the description of the video. You can write the credits the way you want in order to fit the style of your project, but below we've included a few suggestions.

We have tried to include the most important license information on this page, but we recommend reading the full license agreement: Music License for Short Films/Videos

Our music is protected by the Content ID system on YouTube, meaning you will most likely receive a claim if you use our music in a video (even if you have purchased a license). This is completely normal and can easily be fixed, provided you have respected the terms of this agreement.

We will then review your video and quickly send a request to get the claim removed from your video if the terms have been respected.

Peder B. Helland's music is registered with the Norwegian PRO (Performance Rights Organization), called TONO. This product is a synchronization license for your video, but the public performance of your video still needs to be cleared with the PRO of your country. This does not affect you unless you are the broadcaster of the video.

Please note that if your video will be uploaded to YouTube, Facebook and similar media platforms, you don't have to do anything as you're not the broadcaster. However, if you upload the video directly to your own website, you have to clear the use with the PRO of your country. You can learn more in our Help Center.
