Hi,

I recently became aware of the existence of this site: http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/

...which is a Netherlands-based radio station broadcasting data received from an antenna in Ukraine.

A great multitude of samples can be gotten from here. War, military squad communications, different kinds of noise, numbers stations, civilians talking about their holiday, normal radio music, etc.

How do I even begin to determine which parts of this are able to be uploaded to Freesound?

You have an interesting point:
is hosting an unintelligible, but decipherable, version of music still a breach of copyright ?. 🤔

I know copyright claims have limited bearing on works that are transformative in nature, though the question of whether transforming a song into a lo-fi garbled version of itself (e.g., by listening on the wrong band type or over a distant broadcast) counts.

In any case, I'm just gonna play it safe and stick to uploading the non-music parts.
