Audio authors: Q&A about Envato third-party distribution and licensing

Hi all. It’s getting harder to spot the actual questions among some of the longer commentaries in this thread, so I’d like to ask again that people please keep this thread for Q&A specific to Envato’s 3rd-party distribution and licensing. If you’re posting about AI technology in general, use the Music and AI tools discussion thread for that.

@WormwoodMusic for your two questions:

  1. There won’t immediately be any deals to announce after Aug 2, as that’s just the point at which we can start having those discussions with potential partners. We’ll share information where we can, but it is worth noting that commercial deals frequently involve non-disclosure agreements that can limit the details that can be shared. When any 3rd-party licensing generates revenue, that will be included as a new line item in your monthly earnings statements.

  2. We aren’t planning to revisit this in future: we’ll continue to honour any opt-outs received this month, but we don’t intend to change the status of individual authors or items after that point.

We’ll have a reminder email about the opt-out process going out later this week, to anyone who has not already completed the opt-out form.

Once you complete the form you’ll receive a copy of your response (via email) from Google Forms. That confirms that we have received your response, and that we won’t include your content in any 3rd-party licensing.
