Does anyone know of a free repository for such royalty free or "public use" music content that offers such music in a downloadable form that can be used during editing?

A friend of mine who also had videos blocked on YT sent me this. I took a quick look and only glanced at the licensing agreement, there is some language in there which could result in fees.

i used the somewhat lame stuff Youtube offered for free on a few videos.

I would guess it has more to do with the publisher than the artist. It seems like UMG couldn't care less, but other publishers are having the vids blocked. I've had a bunch blocked in the past week.
Yea, I agree. I probably didn't articulate it correctly in my post. I was just surprised that the vendor in the case of a defunct band would even care whereas a recent chart topper was allowed to stay with ads. Different vendors likely have different blanket policies I would imagine.

The record industry/YouTube have really been cracking down lately on copyright infringement on soundtracks. Can't blame them I guess, but I would think that a soundtrack with a proper credit is fantastic free advertising, but the record industry doesn't see it that way apparently.

I was pretty sure this was going to happen someday. That is why everything I posted in public uses non-copyrighted musics explicitly allowing public distribution.

What is your source for said music?

I'm using this one. http://freeplaymusic.com/ At one point, Apple was distributing a free library containing several thousands tunes from freeplaymusic.com to their network service customers, so that is the one I'm using. If you search for "royalty free music", there are bunch of them out there.

i'm not a lawyer but in reading the freeplaymusic license agreement i don't think it is permitted to use their music when adding it to a video that gets posted to youtube or vimeo sites. The way i read it they exclude web broadcast.

(b) If you are using Freeplay Music for:

(1) Personal Non-Commercial Use (Non-revenue generating). This excludes broadcast use of any kind, including, without limitation, web, blog, and podcast use; or
(2) Educational, Non-Commercial use (this is limited to student use on school grounds for in classroom projects- non broadcast)

Then Freeplay Music's compositions and recordings may be used without a fee.

but i could be wrong.

Hmm, you're right, the current license seems quite a bit limiting. I don't know if the library I got was under more permissive license. I got to believe it was because they were promoting them to be used for iMovie and publish on their network service.

I checked and there are licensing fees in order to use content from FPM. I might just have to stick with using songs from UMG artists.

That's too bad, the tunes you used on the last couple of videos were really good.

I've never had any problems on a couple of XP machines running Firefox.
