Did I get it right ?

I used 3 tracks so far: Music from 2001's game Gothic, 2007's the Witcher, and Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra (the Oddyssey theme, this one may be easily deleted though). Also I wanted to include a song from Inception soundtrack, but I can see it's out of question.
The reason I wrote dates is I think that nobody would complain about old copyrights... Not that I'm into piracy. But these tracks really make the atmosphere. The maps, in which those songs are used, are based on the music. Removing them would really destroy the entire feel.

The problem with CC music is that I don't know it very well, and I have to dig through whole libraries, which makes it hard to chose a proper track...

So, give me some advice ? :S

PS.

Where should I look for the copyrights ? You seem to know that topic quite well.

PPS. Thanks for all the feedback, I really appreaciate it !

Gothic
Spoiler below!
Looking over Gothic's poorly designed main page, I could not find much about the actual copyrights in game. However, it is released on Digital media, which prevents the use of ripping music for other use.


Witcher
Spoiler below!
Uses Miles Sound System. Copyright © 1991-2008 by RAD Game Tools, Inc. Portions of this software utilize SpeedTree technology. © 2001-2004 Interactive Data Visualization, Inc. All rights reserved.

Miles Sound System is responsible for the music produced in The Witcher - which is protected under Copyright.

Also Sprach Zarathustra (Strauss)
Spoiler below!

The poem can be used if you are to release after the work is in the public domain (at the time of posting, it was/is), you provide your own media for broadcast (you have to make background music, if any) and must credit Richard Strauss for inspiration.

The poem used in this case was made in 1893. Not many Copyright Acts existed at the time, but Intellectual Property was a big concern. Doing some research, Richard Strauss, the creator of the Poem, died in 1949. Under the US Law, his Poem would fall under the Copyright Acts imposed in 1909, which would mean his property was his up until 56 years after his death, then it became a part of the Public Domain. 56 years would put it at 2005, which gives the okay.

The issue here is that I am using US Copyright Laws - which may differ to German ones. You should research elder copyrights if you wish to continue here.

You cannot use any media involving the Poem in A Space Odyssey however, because it falls under a media copyright.


Creative Commons works are actually pretty good if you can find some things of benefit on them. Despite the searching required to find specific pieces of music or artwork which you specifically require, if you strike gold and are able to use such work responsibly, you can make something much different to what the other movies and video games' works you are using.

From my personal perspective, I wouldn't go about using any of the music you have specified, not just out of the law, but also because if I am wrong, you're likely to face some form of prosecution.

Another issue is that any work which violates copyright cannot be shared here. I do not know if the same applies for places such as moddb, but I guess it may greatly impact not just the reputation of your mod but also for yourself.
