Section “6.1.2. Special Requirements for Musical Works” of https://www.fortnite.com/unreal-editor-for-fortnite-supplemental-terms seems very restrictive. Especially: “you may not upload music: that you have purchased a non-exclusive license for”.
Your rules pretty much makes it impossible to use any music if it’s not exclusively licensed. Most of websites sell non-exclusive licenses.
What about creative commons (commercial) licenses, cc0 or royalty free?
Roblox terms sound much better, at least that’s what their FAQ says:
To ensure that music in your games is not flagged and removed by this process, and to ensure compliance with our Terms, please check that all music in your games is owned by you or is properly licensed . If you do not own or have a license to the music in your game (or if you are not sure), you should replace it immediately. You can replace the music in your game with one of the newly licensed tracks mentioned above, with original music, or with music for which you are certain you possess all necessary rights.
What does that mean? I need to have exclusive license for Fortnite for sound?

Is using this song: Cyberpunk + Electro+ Gaming + Energetic by Infraction [No Copyright Music] / Stay - YouTube
Is it allowed? How Epic even checks if user has all the rights as songs like these won’t be detected by content id?
Solved, rules were changed.
