Can I get sued?

I have read on this forums for years and I have noticed that there are a lot of pro-DRM and encryption guys here so I figured this forum would be a good place to ask.

There is a site where you can listen to sound and buy them(i e they are not free). I am planning to record(ripping) them and use them in my game which will be a 100% freeware.

Can I get sued? Should I be worried?

If you mean soundtracks from C&C games then the first step would be contacting Frank Klepacki and asking him for his permission http://frankklepacki.com/

Dunno. From the streams of Mental Omega I hear that they use Frank Klepacki's own music (from his CDs) in the mod, but I dunno if they have permission or not from the man himself.
It most likely largely depends whether it will be used in a project that is free or paid. If it's the latter, the chances of you getting sued are definitely much higher.

They have Frank's permission to use his music.

I am not going to rip music but smaller sound effects.

Here is the site:

Seriously? Damn, MO is really going the full mile. I approve of this (and of Frank to let them use his music).
