> At first I was like - oh shoot, how did they license the music but then I was "oh".

What does this mean?



It's the music artist's website - I didn't realize it at first.


Even if it wasn't -- honest question -- why would it be necessary to "license" their music?

This is a work of art. It's not for any kind of profit.


I suppose for the same reason that movies and television shows have to license the soundtracks they use in their works of art. I guess it's not transformative enough? Not sure what the legal definition of a derivative work is, but I guess it doesn't include a simple pairing up of different mediums.
