Welcome to our new news section. OST was conceived just before Christmas '07, and yet already it's gaining very widespread attention. In fact, the demand for information from us is overwhelming, so please use the FAQ page and this news page before contacting us, but do contact us if you have any remaining question. My name is Israel Anderson, and I'll be adding to this news page as often as possible. Our most common request is to see the actual license. It's coming. Creating a license is not an easy task. It's important to realize that when Marc and I came up with this idea, we didn't think of it as a way to make money, and there is no corporate backing of OST whatsoever. This is an entirely grassroots initiative. For now, let me give you a run down in plain english of what the license should detail.

An OST track is not public domain, but close.
An OST track may be used for any non-commercial purpose, live performance excepted, without permission from the artist.
An OST track may not be used on television, cinematic production, or included on any commercial CD or other digital media, without permission fro the artist.
An OST tracks meet a basic requirement of having certain components of the song made available. The individual pre-mixed instrument tracks. The original score/music/tabulations. The lyrics.

To summarize, OST tracks are released by all freedom-loving musicians to be used by freedom-loving musicians but with enough protections to ensure others are not merely going to use your OST track for commercial purposes so they can avoid legitimate paying the artist for their work which they are profiting off of.

If you wish to have some input into OST before the license is finalized, please contact us. We expect the actual license to be complete and published by end of March.

Don't let that stop you though. We already have numerous artists that have OST tracks on the way.
