Hey there,
does anybody have a LEGITIMATE list of songs that can be legally used for free in a film? It seems like anything recorded after 1923 is screwed...copyrights keep getting renewed (up to 95 years now???).
I'm looking for a vaudeville style song in public domain. Please, ANYBODY with info, reply! This is infuriating. I'd selected the current song I'm using because it was listed as public domain by the website, but upon further inspection (conveniently right after I finished the final edit), it turned out it's still under copyright.
AAAAAGHGHGHGHGHGHGHG this is seriously so frustrating. I have a feeling that there is literally NO music which isn't under some kind of copyright, because of its needing to be translated into digital form and a company had to be there to do that (and likely renewed the copyright in the process).
HELP!
