The artist is free to record a song over the beat and promote his music on sites like myspace. But the artist will need permission to use the beat for an retail album he wishes to sell. Some producers even give away free beats online just to build a name and become a brand. But these beats are sometimes non-exclusive and the artists are so grateful to get a quality beat that they don't even care. This allows the producer to sell that one beat over and over at times making a huge profit in the process.The next way artist buy beats online are through exclusive rights. With exclusive rights the producer gives up total ownership of his beat to the artist. Now the artist can use this beat for albums, websites and many other ways to promote their talent.

Once they started asking the producer for the full tracks they found out he took it from a popular producer online by the name of Appex. 50 cent staff contacted Appex and told him the situation and received the full tracks from him and 50 went on to record the smash hit "I Get Money".
