Childhood songs is a good title though. Nostalgia factor. Not naming what movie songs are from might be the right way to go in this case. Not unrecognizable, clear enough when they accidentally find the mod in the list of mods to assume it's Disney, yet, not the first search results to pop up on the list of keywords their department would search for. At least I'd give a number of songs they can expect in the description. Depends on the audience (if any) you tried to reach.
It's up to you nonetheless. Either way.
Also, now it's unclear what the mod is about. It probably won't hurt to hint at the songs, like 'Arabian Night', instead of just naming it Aladin, or putting Disney in the title. It was more about being smart about it, instead of full stop censors. Or else I'd have said you should remove the mod (which I didn't, and is a futile effort). Maybe sprinkle in other songs to hide stuff in plain sight (also dispels concealment argument)? I get it takes time/effort. But now all people will either do is a) ask for the songs, b) don't download at all (which beats the purpose of sharing your work).
Tricky stuff nonetheless. Avoiding the tyrants is postponing the war to our own detriment (Tsun Tzu). Hopefully you're a real lawyer, ethically above board, willing to fight the good fight. We need those. I'm with that.
I'm not sure if you and me should just outright delete our comments in this case. Fair Use doesn't recommend you to accurately label your sources in case of conversions (like covers), but it's the same story about the stick and giving people room to swing it as before. If they already have the confession, all they need is a crime to enforce their will (on the platform).
For instance- while Disney owns the trademarks to the likeness of their characters they very often do not solely own the copyright to the music in their movies- in fact one famous case (Lee v. Disney- 1990) saw Disney losing $90 for releasing a video cassette version of Lady and the Tramp. This version contained an unedited version of one of the songs Lee helped write.
These songs are acoustic covers that have nothing more than melody. There are no characters used in the likeness of trademarks that they own and there are no lyrics to accompany the music that is played.
The standard that Fair Use places on exceptions where Copyright law are concerned is met. However having stated all this and clearly expressed my intent I WILL change the name if that helps ease your worries for me <3
Beyond just that though- should I receive a formal DCMA I'll simply take the mod down, as they'll need to issue a DCMA before they could file anything in the courts that would be heard.
