Using Copyrighted music in our maps?

[HelloFlighty]

probably a really dumb question but are we allowed to use copyrighted music in our maps? ie; adding a disclaimer perhaps?

Blizzard does not seem to have an issue with it.
For the hive:

The use of external materials is only permitted if the terms / license under which they are released allows it, or it can be classified as Fair Use.

• Any material created by Blizzard Entertainment can safely be used, as long as the target game is owned by Blizzard Entertainment.
• If they are released without terms / license, having permission from the author is preferred but not required, because the original author has full rights to have it removed.
• The Hive Workshop deems the usage of copyrighted material in maps Fair Use as long as the map does not take value away from the source (e.g. a game) and the usage is non-profitable.

They do have a problem with it, just in WC3 they cannot do anything about it. In SC2 they might pull your map if requested by the copyright holder and either warn or punish you.

In most countries it is illegal to do so as it is technically sharing copyrighted content (piracy) so could result in you and anyone who hosts it being fined >£/€10,000 if the copyright holder decides to seek damages.
