Using Stock Images for Music Streaming Artwork

  • January 3, 2019

I am a musician who recently discovered a way to allow my music to be put on popular streaming sites like Spotify and Apple Music. If I use a Stock image as part of an album cover, strictly for digital art and not for physical distribution, could I use the standard license package or will I need the extended license package?

    Hi Michael,

    Thanks for reaching out to the Adobe Stock community.

    As per the requirement you have stated above, you will be requiring an extended license.

    Also, please refer to the licensing terms and restrictions of Adobe Stock as shared by bucksommerkamp in his above-reply.

    Packaging is not limited to physical distribution.

        Here's a good breakdown of the different types of licensing:

        License information and Terms of use | Adobe Stock

        I'm no expert, but it sounds like the display of album cover art would fall into "unlimited web views" and maybe a "broadcast program," both of which are covered in the standard license.
