Mechanical license

Okay kiddo, imagine you really like a song and you want to use it for something, like maybe making a video or putting it in a movie. But, you can't just use it without permission or else that is called stealing!

So, what you need is something called a mechanical license. This is an agreement between you and the person who wrote and owns the song. It says that you can use the song for the thing you want to use it for, but you have to pay them some money for it.

Think of it like borrowing a toy from a friend, but you have to give them some money to use it. It's important to get a mechanical license so you're not breaking any rules and you're being fair to the person who made the song.
