| Title: Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Posts: 99 Location: Jacksonville, FL ![]() | I was looking to add some good old florida fight music to my webpage. I went to http://fightmusic.com and downloaded a florida song. But if I redistribute that on my site would it be in violation of copyright? The owner of fightmusic.com doesn't own the rights to the song i downloaded. Does the school own the rights? I guess I'm just askin if I put a few gator songs on my webpage, and i downloaded them from fightmusic.com, is that ok? Or would I have to acknowledge that I got them from him webpage? I'm not trying to sell the songs, just want some of my readers to hear it :-) I know this isn't a legal forum, but didn't know where else to put it.

The songs are not copyrighted, they are free to download, and nowhere does he say that you cannot redistribute them. But, what I would suggest is that you email him - http://fightmusic.com/college-email.html Just ask him if it would be ok if you redistributed them. A lot of times people will let you do so just because you were kind enough to ask permission beforehand. Also, moved to the Security and Legal Issues forum
