<p>It depends, Reddie. You can get in trouble by sharing copyrighted music, but usually they'll just take the download down, and unless it gets some serious attention by a lot of people, your music pack will pass unnoticed.

Send an e-mail to Tolkien Estate (or whoever holds LotR's music copyright) asking for permission, who knows what will happen, hehe. </p><p>Also, if I'm not mistaken, CD Projekt Red allowed people to use Witcher's assets, including music. But you should google it because I think they require you to put a disclaimer saying that you aren't the owner of those assets and so on and so forth. </p>

<p>Yeah, I'd rather not be violating copyright stuff, even if it's not likely to get noticed. </p><p>Asking Warner Bros. to use their music...hmmm....Maybe I'll just use other stuff. :P We'll see though. </p><p>OK, I'll definitely look into that. Thanks for your help! </p>

<p>This response was innapropraite and immature. Consider this a formal ban warning. Do this again and I'll ban you. </p><p>I'm going to restate things in a way that I hope won't be confusing. Basically, you have to be within the limits of copyright laws for whatever country you are in, and the creator of the Music is in, or whatever country's laws bind the creation and intellectual property rights of the owner and the music. For most countries, I think permission from the author is plenty, but you should follow any requests that the author has of you in regards to the distribution of your music. If you have the permission, then your music pack is safe to post. Also if the music is clearly stated to be in the public domain (eg, Mozart), then you are allowed to use it without going back in time and checking to make sure that's alright with Mozart. </p><p>To be honest, we (wiki staff, etc.) should post some kind of disclaimer about not being responsible for illegally posted copyrighted material. I don't want to be fined or arrested for being involved in anything like that... </p> <div style="-moz-border-radius: 10px; -webkit-border-radius: 10px; width: 180px; background-color:#D07130; border:5px ridge #cccccc"><div class="center"><div class="floatnone"></div></div></div>

<p>There are sites with roalty-free music you are allowed to use without asking the author and which costs nothing. You still need to credit the author but that should be rather simple with the "author" feature ;) My favourite site is incompetech.com, I've made a music pack entirely with Kevin MacLeod's music.
