EVE TV is offering advertising space during its coverage of Alliance Tournament XV, live in August. Your advert will be played before matches on the live stream of the tournament. Put your corporation, your web site, your capital ship trade business or any EVE related advert on the biggest ad space available. Additionally, we will be making these adds available to community groups that are also streaming during the first two weekends.
As always there is no charge to run a player advert on EVE TV for the Alliance Tournament.

Royalty Free audio
We don’t want to take any chances of getting into trouble for using copyrighted material so I suggest you consider using Royalty free. There is a vast amount of Royalty Free audio online so it should be easy finding a suitable track to back up those pretty visuals.
If you are not sure on how Creative Commons works this image explains it nicely.
Creative Commons Simplified
