Why do I have to confirm that "I'm not a robot" every once in a while?

There are some greedy people trying to scrape our database by using auto-download scripts. These "bots" chew up bandwidth and slow down legitimate users. We know it's annoying, but it's the only way to slow them down.

Every beat in our library is legally purchased or licensed with contractual agreements with our producers and beatmakers. We try our best to not infringe on anyone’s rights.

Can I use these beats as background to my video?

You can only use them as part of a music video, when they include your voice. You cannot use them as they are ‘on their own’ on a Youtube video. The vast majority of our beats are available for Sync and video licensing via our sister website Soundsnap.com.

Can I copy beats from Beatopia onto a CD or my website and re-sell them as they are, without adding vocals?

Absolutely not. That's against our Terms of Use and a violation of international copyright law.

Is it OK if I use a script or bot to help me download beats?

No. It is strictly prohibited to use any kind of robot, spider, script, downloader, reader, or any kind of software meant to stream or download tracks. There are no exceptions to this rule as it will slow down legitimate users and could create risks for our partners. Any violation of this rule will be dealt with a ban from the site without refund and is often followed by serious legal action.

There's no sound when I hit play on the beats.
