Can I edit or remix the tracks?
Yes. You can cut, loop, layer, speed up, slow down and remix them. If you changed a track, say so briefly next to the credit, for example “edited for length”.
Can I still get a copyright or Content ID claim?
Yes, it can still happen. PanekLabs.com does not register these tracks with Content ID or any other content matching system, and will not file claims against videos that use them with credit. Someone else could still register a copy and trigger a claim. If that happens, dispute it and attach the permission letter.
