But CC-By-SA is claiming the film is a derivative of the sound recording despite film and sound being seperate under uk law. So even though I have made no changes to the music CC-By-SA is trying to claim it is under copyright again because is it is part of a film.
There are at least three copyrights potentially at play:
* Any copyright(s) subsisting in the music, * Any copyright(s) subsisting in the moving image, * The copyright in the film, created by synching the music and moving image.
If the music is under CC-BY-SA, then the copyright in the synching is thus also under CC-BY-SA because the licence treats it as a derivative work. They remain as separate copyrights.
Note that the text of the licence makes no express comments about synching music that is not under CC-BY-SA, which is the premise of your example.
