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.
