What is the Legitmix Service?
The Legitmix Service is an application installed on your computer that allows the Legitmix Web Site to perform tasks such as searching your music library or recreating a remix. The Legitmix Service can only be used in conjunction with the Legitmix Web Site.
How does Legitmix allow remixers to sell their work without copyright clearance while other sites cannot?
Legitmix's technology actually separates the remixers' work from the original tracks they sample on a digital level, creating a file that can be sold and distributed without copyright clearance.
When a consumer buys that file the Legitmix app searches their music library for the sampled tracks and then recreates the remix. In this way the Legitmix file is similar to a set of digital instructions for your computer. Because it happens on the consumer's computer this process takes advantage of first-sale laws (section 109 of the copyright act) which allow people to remix music they own for personal use. Since the Legitmix process requires the consumer to own the sampled tracks it gives remixers a means to sell and distribute their work that still respects the artist they sample.
How does Legitmix know what music is in my mix?
When creating your Legitmix file, you identify the third-party copyrighted music used in your mix. This allows consumers to purchase and recreate your mix on their own computer.
How does Legitmix help me?
You can legally sell your mixes without having to obtain distribution licenses for the third-party music you use to produce your mixes.
What does Legitmix do?
Legitmix uses the copyrighted music that you identify and your mix to create a Legitmix file. A consumer can then use your Legitmix file, the Legitmix software, and their copy of the copyrighted music to automatically recreate your mix.
What is a mix?
We define a mix as a creative work made using third-party copyrighted music (source music). Types of mixes include: remixes, mash-ups, DJ sets, sample-based beats, mixtapes, and videos containing copyrighted music.
How does the Legitmix algorithm work?
Rather than capturing how the expression (audio) of the source music is manipulated to create a mix, Legitmix, using the binary representation of the source music and the binary data contained in the mix file, captures mathematically how the binary representations of the sources are transformed. The Legitmix process is oblivious to the expression of the sources or how the source audio was manipulated to create the mix.
The result or output of this mathematical operation is the Legitmix file, which is not an “expression” or sound and which cannot alone be used in any way to express (play) the source music or the mix. You must use the Legitmix file together with your own copies of the source music to recreate the mix. You can only recreate a mix if you have all the source music used by the mix artist in creating the Legitmix file. In making the Legitmix file(s) available to you, neither the mix artist nor Legitmix distributes or licenses any source music to anyone. It is and remains your responsibility to purchase the source music required to recreate the mix.
