can i use free mp3 files?

Hello,

Sorry to be asking this, but I am quiet new and unsure about it so maybe you can quickly clarify me.
I have mp3 files that are free to download on the internet.
my question is: can i use then in my website pages (only for background music and not to sell them) or in some videos i do?

Thanks in a advance for you help.

Best regards

 

Im not sure about these things..


But first of all, what type of mp3 files, copyrighted files ? then i dont think u are allowed to use them ....

 

No, no, no. You cannot use other peoples music as you like.

 

thats what i figured, but maybe he's not even talking about proper music, just sounds or noises

 

Sounds and noises are also copyrighted.
Of course you have sites where you can download stuff to use, but those sites tell you that you can use the files and the OP would not ask us if he got the files from such sites.

 

I thought you could stream audio, but not let people download it.

Just like if someone made a video with a song in it and put it on youtube.

 

people just do it, that doesnt make it legal tough

I wouldn't do it, especially to post on a website.

But if your website is low traffic, go ahead, no one will find out.

 

You must have the owners consent before you can do it. Otherwise it's not allowed.

 

then i dont think u are allowed to use

 

i have used copy righted music to put to bike stunting videos i have made and put on u tube, but not to sure of if it is legal or not
