Remix Clearance Checker

How it helps

Use it for a focused task

The Remix Clearance Checker walks creators through a structured decision tree about their use of existing copyrighted material. Users answer questions about the original work, how much they plan to use, their commercial intent, and how transformative their new work is.

The tool produces a risk-level assessment (low, medium, high, or very high) with specific next steps, rights-holder categories to investigate, and a printable summary. A persistent sidebar provides a glossary, scenario examples, and common mistakes.

Previous assessments are saved locally for reference. Start by entering the title of the song, film, or other work you want to use.
