The Lobby / Re: Commercial use of files and how to identify authors

« on: April 24, 2008, 21:36:05 »

Thanks for all the messages guys.

I have now stripped out all the music I got from this site. So no need to worry Novus!

This does seem like a nice site but I really do think the search system should be sorted out.

Go try searching for a music file, say Iamback.mod (which was one of my favourites). you will find that although the you can get to the file, there is NO WAY to find out who wrote it (let alone contact them)!!! This needs sorting out, as I presume you guys actually want your music to be used and heard.

I would have been willing to pay a license fee for the music, but it was just too difficult to track down who wrote what.

Anyway, thanks for the help and thanks to the guy who gave me the link to the indiegamer music site.

Keep up the good work, the music on this site really is good.

The Lobby / Commercial use of files and how to identify authors

« on: April 22, 2008, 20:31:24 »

Hi,

I have used some tracks from this site in a video game that I shortly intend to market commercially.

In my previous search of these forums (a year or so ago) on licences it seemed to be clear that all these works are in the public domain.

However, when i came back to the site I found that this seems to have changed to "Free for private use. All other use contact the copyright holder"

OK, firstly, are these files in the public domain or not?

If not, how do I contact the authors to ask thier permission to use thier tracks? When I search for a track by filename I get to a page that does not seem to list who made the track (or even who uploaded it)!!!!

Please help. I'm willing to pay (a small amount) for these tracks but want to resolve this issue soon.

Thanks for any help.
