MobyGratis.com was originally launched in 2007 as a platform where independent filmmakers, film students, and content creators could legally use Moby’s music without paying licensing fees. Today’s update marks the largest single expansion of the site’s library since its inception, offering an expansive new selection of music that spans ambient, downtempo, experimental electronic, and cinematic moods classic trademarks of Moby’s influential sound.
Moby emphasized that the project isn’t about making money but about giving back to the creative community. He added that if any of the tracks are used in a project that eventually becomes commercial, users are asked to pay a small licensing fee, which is then donated to the Humane Society and other animal rights charities causes that Moby has supported for decades.
The new collection includes rare demos, unreleased B-sides, and specially composed pieces that have never appeared on any commercial album. Fans and creators who visit MobyGratis.com will find an intuitive, simple interface allowing them to preview, download, and apply for usage licenses if needed.
The response on social media was immediate, with thousands of fans praising the generosity and impact of the gesture. Independent filmmakers, YouTubers, and podcasters flooded the comments section, sharing excitement about the new creative possibilities opened up by this massive archive of free music.
In a time when licensing music can often be a major financial hurdle for small creators, Moby’s contribution stands out as a reminder of the power of community, accessibility, and art without barriers.
