This is a really wrong way to look at the rules. So what, if they don't catch you, its alright to break the rules?

any copyrighted material is safe to use as long as the chunk is 30 seconds or less

This doesn't really matter, even if it is
legally correct to use 30 second chunks, you are missing part of the rules wording:

these files, or has the right to grant this consent on behalf of the owner, or knows that the material in these
files is in the public domain.

Crystal Method's music is not in public domain, you don't own the copyright, and they did not authorize you to give it away, so by signing it, you would be telling a lie.

This does not mean that they dont have the copyright to it anymore. You cannot claim copyright even to a modified work, unless you have the original author's consent.
You still have 2 days left - thats enough time to change the music, and i think it would be fair if you do.
