The following sections explain what license‑free music is, the legal pitfalls in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, and how UGC Max’s built‑in audio library removes all friction.
Definition of license‑free music
License‑free music refers to audio that can be used without paying additional royalties per use because the creator has already covered the copyright and related rights. You simply acquire the right to use the work in the agreed context, e.g., social‑media posts, ads, or stories.
Legal framework for music in the DACH region (2026)
- Germany: The Digital Services Act (DDG, §5 DDG) requires a complete imprint but, for music, means you don’t need extra GEMA fees when using license‑free tracks.
- Austria: The E‑Commerce Act (§5 ECG) imposes similar imprint duties; license‑free tracks also avoid additional GEMA registration.
- Switzerland: The UWG (Art. 3 Abs. 1 lit. s) protects against misleading advertising, you must disclose that the music is license‑free.
