Hi everyone!

As you may have seen a few weeks ago, we made a delivery to offering improve support for streamers and content creators when it comes to their use of Riot Games music. Nosotros accept continued to follow conversations many of you have had about the difficulties in this space, and nosotros hope to exist able to provide you with more options for music to apply in your content as we move forward.

We're excited that so many streamers and content creators have used our Creator-Safe Playlist since nosotros put it live a few weeks ago, and, like nosotros mentioned, nosotros are committed to continuing to expand the options you lot have for music available for utilise in content for your customs.

This is going to be a long article, but ane that we plan to continue updated, and one that we hope can help provide some context, direction, and examples here to help bring a better understanding to how Anarchism is working in the world of music.

Context — How Riot Works With Music

The music manufacture is ever-changing and, even for us, fairly complex. In that location are built in copyright laws, governing entities, and a multitude of well established business entities within the music industry. While navigating this space, we want to be good partners with those we work with so that we can go on to create new and exciting music for our players and fans. Our partners include fellow music artists, songwriters, producers, labels, music publishers and more than.

While nosotros don't think it would be worthwhile to explain every facet of how music is made and how deals are done, nosotros exercise recollect that having context about why certain music that Riot has had a paw in is restricted from general employ by streamers and content creators.

When a song such as a champion theme is created, these songs are usually washed entirely in-house at Riot, or with direct partners of Riot. Because of that, Riot retains full rights to the composition and the sound recording itself. In this case, nosotros can offer these songs for streamers and content creators to use in their streams, videos, etc.

Nonetheless, things start to get a piddling circuitous when other artists or labels (and songwriters and publishers) are involved. In that location'due south a bit of "middle-ground" where we have collaborated with artists on certain tracks and albums, and since a majority of the songs are remixes of compositions that Anarchism fully owns, we are still able to offer most of information technology to streamers and content creators for utilise in whatsoever style they want.

Finally, the complexities really come into play when the composition itself isn't owned by Riot, or when Riot has collaborated closely with other artists in creating the vocal. This is most ofttimes seen in some of our bigger songs, nearly prevalently, recently with K/DA and Truthful Damage. Due to the nature of complex music agreements and multiple ownership structure, we tin't clear the apply of them to streamers or content creators.

Direction and Guidelines

Considering of those complexities, we've worked to help curate a list of music that Riot considers to exist safe for streamers and content creators to use, as well as to endeavour to set some general guidelines that are easy to understand. You tin find our Creator-Safe Playlist on Spotify for ease of listening and on Soundcloud which is download-enabled.
