Freesound Forums

I've made a long recording from a sporting event. As the nature of these things go, there are constant interstitials of copyrighted pop music popping up here and there from the public address, although brief and masked by foreground noise. My question is whether this is allowable on Freesound as it is. Otherwise the sound can only be chopped into a handful of generic fragments. Example: https://soundcloud.com/psteak/stadiumsamplewav/s-tYqhR

Although it would probably go unnoticed, in reality, this is not legal. The respective licenses would have expired If it was all music from the 1900s, but it's modern pop music.

My advice would be to go for the "fragments" and edit together into a coherent piece (if possible).

Unfortunately music is copyrighted regardless of foreground content.

" CC alerts prospective licensors they need to have all necessary rights before applying a CC license to a work. If that is not the case and someone has marked your work with a CC license without your authorization, you should contact that person and tell them to remove the license from your work. You may also wish to contact a lawyer. Creative Commons is not a law firm and cannot represent you or give you legal advice, but there are lawyers who have identified themselves as interested in representing people in CC-related matters.

I think you are right. The non-profit status of Freesound and ability to attribute the file as non-comm gave me pause to think it might be suitable.
