I hope this is the right place to post this question. It has been burning in my mind for quiet a while. Please let me know if I should have posted it somewhere else or not at all Maybe I should ask the question already, huh. haha

I'm trying to get some attention for a little music project I've started called "Days of Sunshine" http://www.youtube.com/user/daygamer001. I trying to decide if I have the copyright on my songs, so I can post them to myspace, facebook, grooveshark, ect. This article helped me out a lot: http://www.artistshousemusic.org/expert/how+do+i+copyright+my+original+music. Basically if you made up the song you own it. (I will get to my question soon. sorry)

However, on many of my songs I added a few of the sounds that come with Dark Basic Classic and Dark Basic Pro on top of my keyboard recording. (you know the stuff under media/sounds/ You hear them in other people's games and say "Oh, I know where they got that! haha) These sounds are royalty free for using in video games, correct? But is using them in music any different? thank you very much!

I dont know much about copyright stuff but you made up the music, and the sounds are loyalty free, so id assume everything's fine. But again, i dont know a lot about this

You've bought both products, so that has to afford you the right to use the sounds in your own creations. I doubt very much that anyone would raise concern about the supplied media being used in music. If anyone asks, just tell them you made the music for a videogame that you haven't made yet
