Sure I bought several sample libraries for the professional work I have done, and my work is generally collage of sounds - that I generally manipulate in reason or live....
If I want something from here I guess my approach would be to trade sounds with the person who owns the sounds I am after as I don't think movie producers will be interested in crediting the Norwegian Nightingale ( which has a different accent apparently)
To be honest tho- I am quite good at making the sounds myself and spend many hours recording foley...
I will post some more sounds as I got a few to spare - if any one has some nice bird flaps let me know!
martian,
I just had a look at your website. Looks like you do lot's of relatively high-profile work. Now, someone with your experience surely must recognise that copyright and licenses like creative commosn differ. Not only that, but surely you must understand that you can't -for example- just copy sample cd's from professionals and use them without paying for the licensing.
now, you have a much free-er law when it comes to creative commons, this is a good thing right? yes, there's the attribution and the no-commercials thing in Sampling+, but this is almost nothing vompared to copyright (where you can't do anything with someone's work).
also, an important fact -which many people forget once in a while- is that you can ask people to use their samples in a different way than the license published on this website. Many people here have been asked if it was OK to include their samples in commercial advertisments, or works that don't mention the attribution, and many people say "yes" to these questions!

Oh, that's what a circuit bending is... for some reason I was thinking of a circuit board getting snapped in half. 
Cool!
See if you can figure out how to mark it as a remix... we could use more samples on the remix tree.

I think copyright should protect somebody's compositional or creative skills - recording a door slam and putting it on the net and expecting to get credit for it is a little far fetched- although I can honestly say I am yet to be tempted to use such a thing- I already have a billion of those basic things in my library free to use anyway..It would have to be something pretty special - like I said a unique identifiable recording..
If I record a door slamming and you record a door slamming, I own the copyright to my door recording and you own a seperate copyright to yours. There are probably going to be some differences... I used a different microphone setup, you did some tweaking in post, etc. Even if they sound nearly the same the copyright and ownership is still distinct.
Under U.S. copyright law you must get permission to use, copy, distribute, perform, (etc.) a copyrighted work, with the notable "fair use" exceptions. Still, fair use law does not cover many things you might want to do with a work, such as use it in a collage or sample it liberally in another work. What Creative Commons does is provide a set of licenses that grant automatic permission to use the copyrighted work, provided that you follow certain conditions. You HAVE to follow the conditions or you automatically void the license, and whatever liberties you were taking with the material become illegal.
For the sampling plus license, the conditions are pretty reasonable. You get to copy, re-use, and transform the work as you like, and license the resulting work however you please. As I understand it, All you have to do is to credit the authors when you use their work, not use the work to advertise an unrelated product, and not sell their work in whole when you are making verbatim copies. (Selling the derivative work is still okay.)
I really don't think that's so much to ask.
There is a body of work that can be used like you want to... and that's called the public domain. You can do whatever you want with public domain material and don't have to credit anyone, since it's not copyrighted. If you're not comfortable with following the simple guidelines for CC-licensed material, maybe you should look for PD stuff.
a key word - recognise.
As Bram said if it is transformed beyond recognition it is OK.
Your female friend was behaving inappropriately -obvious really - as it's recognisable as your work ...
I think you guys are thinking too much about music etc- if a bass riff you created is used then sure you need crediting..Notice the word - created. Or someother loop you made is directly used- again credit please.
But If I sample 1 second of your loop- reverse it, filter, and use some other weird ass plugin ( downloaded free from the web of course) - then it's nothing to do with you anymore is it? Cos it sounds completely different!
On mars we obviously get out an about more than some earthlings......
sooo sweet and what a great voices ( mike your is outstanding!! )
thanks again I will keep you posted.
oh yeah, it's quite amazing, no doubt about it.
and rules are there to be broken anyway.
wait! except the legal issues surrounding creative commons!!
C'moooooooooooooon I want more!!!!!!!
- bram
But I still like Pitx' contribution a lot! 
Bram
take one of your favourite songs (at least 3 minutes), then squeeze, squash, deform, twist, cut and wrangle it until:2. it's less than 20 seconds
- bram
In that case, Bram, what do you mean by "it's less than 20 seconds"?
Mike
very nice!
but you didn't follow all rules!
you were supposed to take the WHOLE song and transform it 
My contribution to dare 3:
I believe is not the first time someone asks me that... yeh i will do it
underneath this audio file is a beautiful recording downloaded from freesound.
whale.wav added by schluppipuppie/http://freesound.iua.upf.edu/samplesViewSingle.php?id=7999/
It blew my mind away.pure inspiration. both mental and physical.I want to thank again the whole community and schluppipuppie. hope one day I can give you something.
here is a link :http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=59572387
you can download, reconstruct, destroy and rebuild this file.whatever.just let me know.
lucifer you left me to die
no human eyes will see me again
pain is real
who gave me this emotions
for the love of the only one
I could make peace with all
tormented soul burning
but I've gone to far to give up now
who'll share my madness
who's god will save your loved ones
I am evil just as you are
I keep my promises
and what I'm suggesting is illegal and can be claimed immoral
evil will have it's revenge
common knowledge.

I reckon the people doing the movie credits won't be too happy if you are asking them to credit every incidental sound....
Asking?!! Nobody *asked* them to use the sounds in the first place, did they? Also, why should a FS contributer want to make movie people happy? There is life outside moving images!!
martianI reckon If recognisable/ unique credit it - if not upload some stuff for karmic purposes....
A couple years ago, someone 'borrowed' a line drawing from a paper of mine. The funny thing is all she needed to act rightly was dropping me a line, so I got very angry... Dont know how it is in Mars, but here in planet Earth you would be surprised about the recognizing skills of some people when it comes to their own work. Take care.
Cheers
PS BTW, did you know nightingales have dialects that change depending on the place they live? Now you do.
oh and if you transform a work, the copyright/left belongs to you. If you take a song from michael jackson, and transform it until it no longer sounds like michael jackson, you can legally distribute/sell/... the song you created. The same goes for freesound.
- bram
I'm sorry martian, but I don't understand the angle you are coming from.
Freesound sounsd are free within certain legal boundaries.
If you don't like these boundaries, then don't use sounds from freesound, as you would be commiting a crime just like when you would use a commercial sample-library without paying for it.
One of the LEGAL requisits is that you have to attribute the sounds you use. You can find the whole license of the sounds here:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/sampling+/1.0/legalcode

It would have to be something pretty special - like I said a unique identifiable recording.. Ie you recording an Urhu solo which a significant section was used in place of conventional music for the opening credits of a weekly travel show.... Or maybe you bang a recognise beat on a dustbin which suvsequently is sampled and makes it 2 numba 1 in brazil - these are creditable items----- What about those monks chanting in your thailand vacation?
hang on those monks were chanting for everyone with a video camera - bet that nice german couple got pretty much the same thing - and the monks believe in karma too- you don't own their sound buddy....
wind thro the trees recording ????? Actually I already have these already but...
I'm going to EQ'ing possible pictch/ speed shift and additional processing my friendly sample heads.... after adding nightingales sitting in someother trees some other time and place..... Hanging on I'm getting creative here.... and this is just a subtle background you can hardly hear and barely notice as it's designed to be natural...
good luck in getting a subpeona ! It's unrecognisable as the same recording! In fact it isn't.
C'mon if you've put them up here - you want people to use them. I uploaded a few- for the few downloads I've got- just to play with...
Keep free sound free. keep it karmic.. You know where the line is don't you?
I've just uploaded all the sounds I used to create this sound painting (Where am I) :
