    Ikros and Copyright Infringement —Anthony Sava
   I recently recieved an email from The Creative Assembly, makers of the game Shogun:Total War. This is the same game from which I used the music for my fourth movie, the 'Garadaine Movie' for my website. They claim that I infringed on their (...)

     (...) Don't get me started on copyright, mega-corps and little non-prof non-com individuals. Oooohhh. Can you hear my teeth squeaking yet? Been there, done that (except I didn't complete the film, I just got the $150 quote). I know exactly how you (...) (20 years ago, 30-Jan-04, to lugnet.general)

     --snip--- (...) Were you making and $$$ from the FLASH file? Or was the movie a free download anyone could take? Did you provide a list of credits at the end saying that the music was the property of "xyz"? -AHui A&M Productions (URL) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

     (...) I never did nor ever planned to make money off any of my movies. They were there to simply add another dimention to my website and online story. Like I had said, I thought I had changed it enough to where the music wasn't theres anymore, thus (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

      (...) Cool website. I did not see any other movies on your site? Did you have to pull them all down? That blows what they made you do. I won't be buying that game. =) -AHui A&M Productions (URL) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

     (...) Did you email them to ask permission prior to using their work? Perhaps you could have simply gotten their o.k. to use a small snippet for non-profit purposes. (...) Obviously you didn't change it enough that it was completely unrecognizable. (...) (20 years ago, 31-Jan-04, to lugnet.general, FTX)

     (...) Just so you know the tag below line is assumed under copyright law and does need to appear. "...may not reproduce in whole or in part without prior permission..." The amount you my use in your movies is 0%. That's the rules. Not one single (...) (20 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)

        Re: Ikros and Copyright Infringement —David Laswell
   (...) I believe the 20% rule applies to all parts of the music, not just the piece as a whole. Cutting out every fifth part doesn't count. If you use just the drum line, that drum line would still have to be 20% different (and yes, "20%" is tricky (...) (20 years ago, 1-Feb-04, to lugnet.general)
