If we use the music of famous games and movies, but edit them (for example, change the tone of the voice or the speed of speech). Have we violated the copyright law and the release of the game will be prevented? |

From what I have researched then yes, its still breach of copyright as its called a derivative work and unfortunately not allowed without permission of the copyright holder. Now if you are releasing a game for free - ie not for commercial purposes then I would not be so worried as its very unlikely to chase you up about that - you see this everywhere on the internet. This is my personal opinion of course - I made an 'Aliens Revenge' game with all Alien movie sounds in it and released for free...no issues thus far and not expecting any either from it...worse case just have to take it down or change all the sounds/music in it. To copyright stuff as a base and change it enough so that you can either sell it or legally use it in a commercial game you would have to change it so much that its hardly recognizable from the original anymore...probably not worth the risk as there is no exact standard to this test in law...its up to the judges feelings on it....(not kidding). Now how do all these people on the web sell assets taken directly from Star Wars and Star Trek etc...?...they are selling copies of assets from popular movies...which is breach of intellectual property pretty sure....doesnt seem legal to me... |
