How do I credit you on a live stream?
Credits must be placed so that a person with reasonable effort can find out about the music.
Attribution/Credit must include:
Live Stream Credit Options
License (Attribution/Credit, Pro, Commercial, Broadcast)
Yes. Credits change from media to media - but in general a credit needs to be placed such that a person who wants to know where the music came from should have no difficulty in finding it. A reasonable effort may be expended (e.g. clicking on a credits option), but the credit should not be hidden or obscured. See the Attribution chart for examples.
Use a font size large enough to easily read with the naked eye, and display it for long enough so that the average person would be able to read all the information.
