So far as I know, everything on the Archive is public domain everywhere. The moderators are very careful about both American and foreign copyrights and won't allow uploads of material that is under copyright anywhere. That means you can use anything here in any way you want.

@moderators are very careful

No. Audio upload volume is high, uploader details usually low or sometimes wrong or fake. So be very careful. Do your own legwork for anything you see.

Here's an example:

http://www.archive.org/details/PuttinOnTheRitz

'Puttin' On the Ritz' written by Irving Berlin. He lived to be 101 so didn't die until September 22, 1989!

How can that possibly be in the public domain? The recording may be but not the song.
