KotOR music?

[Guest]

are you going to use kotor music for the kotor era, just saw the trailer but dont know if the music was ingame (cause i didnt heard any other sounds)

[RepSharpshooter]

We aren't allowed to use kotor music ingame.

[Caleb1117]

Yea, it's illegal. *grumble* Doesn't stop those blasted JKA people.

And if we don't use the sound files but record our own while playing kotor?

Is that still illegal?

[Teancum]

The music is copyrighted, not the file. We shouldn't (and can't) use it.

[MandeRek]

No, indeed, we're no Russian modding team

Thanks for clearing that up

(4) New Levels may not include any LucasArts sound effects or music files or portions thereof.

If it doesn't stop you for Battlefront 2, why does it stop you for KOTOR?

Because they never technically "released" any source files.

it seems Mav has got permission to use kotor1 music from BioWare audio team, if thats true then i suppose he can use it ingame

Thanks to:
Jesus Christ, in whom I put all my hope for this life and the next
Bioware audio team, for the KotOR 1 music
...and all the folks at Gametoast who have added to or supported the content added to this era.

Not so, in that instance he was just crediting them.

He doesn't need permission to use their music in a non-profit video.

Since I'm building the KotOR sides, I'll just go ahead and say a clear "no" here. I've made plenty of maps with a KotOR mode before and if I'd felt like it was ok to use KotOR music in them I would have done it already. If it comes down to it and you're still not sure about whether it's illegal/legal/right/wrong, then let's just call it a personal choice on my part and say that I like the ingame music we already have better.
