#4The devil is in the detail as they say.
Pixbay is verry waffly on what is and is not permitted[1], and in their "conclusion" they basically wash their hands of the risk, putting the onus back on the user:
Understand that Pixabay images can be used in many instances without asking permission from the image author. However, it is your responsibility, to make sure the depicted content (persons, logos, designs, property, etc.) is suitable for your use and does not infringe any rights.

Lol so it’s a search engine masquerading as a royalty free media site

#7Related is Kevin MacLeod [1]'s music [2], who you've almost -certainly- heard before. He has thousands of royalty-free CC music and has become deeply entrenched in (at least my perception of) early 2010s internet BGM.

#8There's also the YouTube channel AudioLibraryFreeMusic that has a lot of high quality songs that are apparently safe to use, even for commerical use.

I don't expect a copyright match using these. But if you do get one, consider the site flawed since the music is supposed to be royalty free, gratis and absent of copyright

Imagine my surprise when I saw Incompetech credited in every episode of Last Podcast on the Left. I credited them in a short film about 7 years ago and it was surreal seeing it pop up again.
