Nah, don't worry bro!

what do you exactly need? i can compose it and record it if needed, at a cheap sudaca price. ( with real life musicians and the like, depends on what you'll need.)

This was nice to read. I was in doubt about the PD nowadays. I've seen some CC-PD, but read they are not supporting anymore. Thanks for the reading!

Generally, public domain music is one that composed and recorded and digitized a really long ago, like 100 years or more - i.e. one with all the related rights expired (includes rights of the author, of performers, of people who converted it into modern formats, etc). The only way for modern music to be in PD is when the author is released it into PD. And there is big catch - it is not easy to release anything into PD with modern laws. I.e. you only can say you released it into PD, and don't take any legal actions after this - but from legal point of view it does not mean anything, and your work is still copyrighted. If there are organizations in a country that has rights to protect others copyrights without asking them (that's crazy, but there are such organizations in some countries), they can make you some headache. In some countries there is just no way to change legal status of a work into PD at all. In US, you need to take special actions to legally release a work into PD, which includes paper work and paying a fee (like $20) for processing the papers, so I highly doubt anyone care to do that.

So, CC-BY is one is the best available ways to get and use some free music.

just use saskrotch's music, especially if its for penis cream

just use the theme from curb your enthusiasm

I love how these are cataloged on their back sleeves:

/MOODY
/HOPE
/LOVE
/DANGER
/PARENTHOOD

Just make it safe and do what I suggested: use an online music library like extrememusic. We use that here at MTV all the time.

Not sure if this is public domain but I use these songs all the time for various uses:
live.freeplaymusic.com

Yeah, we are working on this yet.

The thing is: the type of company I work for, and the company for who I tercerize my job, don't give a fuck. They just don't want lawsuits filled. But neither they want to spend money to buy these libraries. Really, all they want is the income.

Nevertheless, was a long shot and a pretty stupid one.

Most of the tracks on ccmixter will still require you to attribute the work to the author in some way, which might look unprofessional depending on where you are going to use it.

I worked with a guy who did a lot of radio work, whenever he needed music for similar sorts of things he'd use something from a music library. These are usually dvds full of original music specifically for use in advertisements, stingers, etc, although there's probably websites dedicated to that sort of thing as well. You can get them for free but bear in mind they are definitely not royalty free, it is expected if you use their music you'll pay royalties to them ... that said, not many people actually seem to pay any royalties, according to him. If your company is trying to be legit though the people who put them together are easy enough to contact so working out royalties etc won't be too hard.

We are asking for the artsits. But it's kinda frustrating and nevertheless you are totaly right. Oh well...

Even if the song itself is public domain (most music from the 19th century is public domain if I am not wrong), you need to clear PERFORMANCE RIGHTS for it. This means, whoever played the particular version you want to use, needs to give you clearance to use it.

I'd suggests entering a website like extrememusic.com where you can buy music tracks for your commercial projects.
