Are The Bioshock 2 Loading Songs Free?

I would like to use those songs in a project..

are it free to use? it seems to be old as hell. lol

If you are talking about "Ten Cents A Dance" I think it's recorded 1930, so I think it's free to be used now. I believe it's 70-years after the artist have died that the copyright expires and it is then free for everyone.

In Bioshock 2 there are several songs that play during loading screens. All seems to be very old.

Is there any way to know FOR SURE if the music doesn't have copyright?

I don't want any trouble.. lol

And yes. Ten Cents a Dance is one of them <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

Here's a good list of the songs with their release year:

and here's a list of copyright lengths by the countries:

I think the European law is more human readable than the U.S one. There are some exceptions to that 70-years i U.S laws. It can also be 120-years if the content was created by corporation or if the copyright has been extended.

I should also state that I'm not a lawyer and I'm not providing any legal advice.
