Does this sound qualify to go on here?

Hi all,
just recorded this really great series of sounds of a fruitmachine being played, with cheesy sounds & music loops, button clicks and coin droppings. I'm just wondering if it would be ok to upload these sounds here, as they include part of the music from the fruitmachines, which I'm not sure about in terms of copyright.

what's the verdict? anyone? =)

thanks,
jOHN

to clairfy: if something is

to clairfy: if something is in public domain, such as a lullaby, nursery rhyme, classical composition, you are free to re-create it without the permission. however, you cannot record and resell someone else's recording of a composition. there is copyright involved in sound recordings, and the performance of those sound recordings.

I suppose you would have to

I suppose you would have to research if that tune is copyrighted or not.

I would suspect most classic lullabies are very old and therefore in the public domain. But you would have to be certain about that before uploading it.

I hope this helps.

ok...thanks. another one I

ok...thanks. another one I just came across is a recording I recently did of a merry-go-round lullaby of a children's toy bear. Would that be possible to put on soundsnap or is there copyright issues here as well?

Hi John, Unfortunately, I

Hi John,

Unfortunately, I believe the answer is no.

It is illegal to use even a small portion of someone else's work and post it- even if its distorted somewhere in the backround. Its like essentially like sampling them.

Thnx,
