- License
The files in this collection claim to be licensed CC BY 4.0. This is not true--all this archive is was someone collating the files and uploading them there. These files were all uploaded by Craig Smith on freesound.com under a CC0. The Gold and Red files are a valid {{CC0}} as Craig Smith works for USC. The Sunset Editorial files are all either {{PD-US-defective notice}} or {{PD-US-defective notice-1978-89}}. The notices are defective because according to the linked blog, all SSE ever got was a credit line. The company was no longer active by 1989, and I checked and there are no copyright registrations under SSE's name. The publication years of the sound effects however, are unknown, so I plan on tagging everything with PD-US-defective notice-1978-89.
- Description
This is a set of audio files by the University of Southern California and Sunset Editorial consisting of the original recordings of sound effects used in movies from the 60s to 80s; a few of these sound effects are very famous (like the Wilhelm Scream). This file conveniently maps all the sound effects with a metadata .csv file with descriptions and upload dates and everything, so setting up a batch upload isn't too difficult. I'm prepared to do this upload myself.
