Thematic periodically expires songs to keep our music library fresh and up to date. When a song expires, it means you can no longer download it or use it in new videos.
What does this mean for you?
-
Videos you’ve already posted using the expired song will remain safe - there’s no need to edit or remove the song from those videos.
-
You can only use the expired song in new videos if you upload those videos before the expiration date.
-
If you upload new videos using the expired song after the expiration date, your videos may get copyright claims.
Example:
If the label says:
“This song has expired and cannot be used after Jun 8, 2025”
-
Videos uploaded on or before June 8, 2025 with this song are fine.
-
Videos uploaded after June 8, 2025 with this song could get claimed.
How will I know if a song I’ve used is expiring?
We’ll send you an email notification to keep you informed about any songs you’ve downloaded that are being removed from Thematic.
