Instead of people getting confused as what to put in Author, I say, just remove that column and instead put "submitted by". I see entries like "FF7 Makers", I mean we OBVIOUSLY know that so... to save people work, and possibly some webspace, I suggest we remove it. I also reccomend that you set a file size limit so people aren't confused as to how long their songs can be...

I think that if you edited the sound yourself (in whatever way), then technically you're the author of that specific file since it was created on your computer and no one has an identical file like it.
For example:
Some of the FF7 Music used in my maps, I downloaded the MIDI formats. I then took out sections of that and edited it so it would loop nicely or if I just needed a disired piece. Then I would converted it to Starcraft format for optimal compression.
So I would say that the Author slot should stay and that the person who edited the file and made it ready to use in Starcraft is the Author.
p.s. Where ya been Rev?
Edit: However, lets say "Joe" took a sound out of "Bob's" map, that Bob made, and Joe uploaded it to SEN and called it his own... Then that would be considered stealing the wav.
But lets say I wanted to take a sound from a random b.net map that was really cool, but I had no idea who created the file... Then I would simply submit "Unknown" or something to that nature for the Author... You don't wanna put the name of the map creator linked with the wav file because he might've gotten it from another source as well.

Been to Kentucky 
What I mean by submitted by is that NOBODY gets credit for making the wav. It's just that the person who GAVE the effort to click submit and write a description just gets there name as submitted by. It's not stating the wav is owned by the person, it just recognizes that person who took the effort to send the wav. Who steals wavs anyway? They are like STD's; everyone has them, but noone knows where they came from.
wheres your name glow...

Can't view glowy effects in FireFox.
But yeah, I suppose it should just be taken out all together.

I would suggest an Edited by: area, it would be much easier.
