Title: Searching for the uploader of a song
Post by: sailorenlil on January 15, 2012, 15:57:19
Hi

Does anyone know who uploaded this oldie (artist/uploader info isn't given, and the license info is the default Mod Archive Distribution license):
http://modarchive.org/index.php?request=view_by_moduleid&query=44047

I know it's at least 10 years old (I once obtained the exact same thing from a PD disk for the Amiga platform through a magazine [Amigaworld if I'm not mistaken] back in 1991). I would like to use it in a project where it'll be a cover of the original song it was based on ("She Drives Me Crazy" by Fine Young Cannibals), to be performed by a virtual artist (called a Vocaloid), so some editing and modification will be involved (in fact I pretty much have it done already, but I'm holding off from publishing/uploading it anywhere (eg Youtube) without a go signal).

That module has been uploaded in 1997, I don't think that there are any records of who uploaded what back then. And even if they existed, this would not help you at all since I can safely tell you that it wasn't the composer. ModLand doesn't know the author of this tune, either.

Ok noted. Then I would presume the module is public domain as it was previously distributed as such back in the pre-internet era (in PD disks; as I stated in previous post, that's how I previously obtained the very same module back in 1991 - same filename, same instruments, even the very same instrument labelling; and no author).
