Copyright issues

If I'm not mistaken, Loop3 is a rip from the Ballroom Blitz intro, by The Sweet.

I'd be interested to know if the band has rights to publish this in the Public Domain, and whether we, in the forum community, have the right to work, and publish this song herein, with inclusion of said material.

Anyone?

I agree with kapu ,there are many songs that have been inspired by another song ,I don't think a short 7 second rockabilly drum beat that sounds similar to ball room blitz and many others isn't a big problem there are many versions of the Whole song of ballroom blitz on you tube if they haven't made fortune from the song and the artist doesn't ask you to remove it they will claim copy wright and put adds on it, If you think 7 seconds of a drum loop that sounds similar to the original mixed in the background maybe another sound could replace it .
