NoCopyrightSounds, or NCS, is a British record label and YouTube channel that releases royalty-free electronic dance music. Originally starting as a music promotion YouTube channel, it reached 1 million paid downloads in 2017.
==History== NoCopyrightSounds was first founded in 2011 by "avid gamer" Billy Woodford. Woodford was having problems with his YouTube video game review channel and created the label to solve it. The label was described by Forbes as "a YouTube-first label that allows indie creators to use and even monetize its music freely as long as they give due credit back to the content owners."
