The license covers personal listening to the public streams and sharing links to the catalog. It does not cover re-uploading the audio, selling the files, or presenting the catalog as your own. The public player is the listening surface; the store links are the purchase route where a release exists.
It is not a sync license, a sample clearance, or a commercial-use grant. A video, game, podcast, or ad that uses a track needs a separate permission. A lyric can be quoted briefly with attribution; the full text cannot be republished or sold.
Use the contact page with the track title, the intended use, the platform, and whether money is involved. A clear request gets a clear answer. If the use is commercial, include a timeline.
The catalog is free to hear because the artist chose to expose the streams. That choice does not erase ownership. The line protects the work while keeping the public room open; it is the same line described in the essays and the streams-vs-masters guide.
Free means free to hear, not free to own. The public stream is a listening copy; the master is the archival source. The license is deliberately narrow so the public room can stay open without pretending the catalog has no owner.
Can you share a link? Yes. Can you quote a lyric? A short quotation with attribution, yes. Can you put a track in a monetized video? Ask first. Can you re-upload the file to another platform? No. Can you train a commercial model on the catalog? Ask first; the public stream is not a training license.
If the answer is unclear, ask before publishing. A short email is cheaper than a takedown.
When you quote a lyric or reference a track, name Justin Helmer / Excavationpro and link to the public page. Attribution is not a substitute for permission on a commercial use, but it is the minimum for an editorial one. A link also lets a reader check the context instead of trusting a screenshot.
If you are unsure whether a use is personal or commercial, describe it plainly and ask. The answer may be no, but the request is the honest starting point, and it keeps the public room open for the next listener.
