PLEASE READ SCRATCHR's
scratch could also be used to download ILLEGAL
FREE 
music. by downloading a progect with the music you want, then exporting it, you could get an illegal copy of a song! I did it once, but now I know it was wrong. Maybe you could make it so that when importing a sound, creators can CHOOSE whether or not to allow people to be able to export them. I don't want to get scratch deleted because of this.

Quoted for truth.

Re: PLEASE READ SCRATCHR's
Maybe midnightleopart is right, but there is no reason to do that. The export button is good to temporary export a sound into a folder, and import it into another project.
E few reasons why nobody will illegally export sounds:
> Scratch exports as wav, not as MP3
> Sounds that came with a downloaded project are way too compressed.
Youtube is legal - everyone can record the sound and use it...

Re: PLEASE READ SCRATCHR's
I downloaded a song from Scratch encoded with DRM and it didn't play.

Re: PLEASE READ SCRATCHR's
Ya, a song in scratch almost becomes a different format as a song in iTunes on Windows Media Player. A song in scratch can ONLY be recorded by ANOTHER SOFTWARE to be able to use it in iTunes or Windows Media Player, because after a song is imported into scratch, the song can't be taken out of the project if downloaded.

Jman, sound can be taken out of Scratch. On the sound pane, right-click (or option-click) on a sound to get the hidden "export" feature which exports the sound as a WAV file.
It does bother me a bit that Scratch is used routinely for sharing music that was not created by the project creator. Even people who scream "plagiarism" when someone copies their code seem to see no problem in copying music from others.
Of course, I find most background music for games pointless and irritating, so none of my projects use it. When I do use music (like in my names project), I have the computer create it for me:
