Music from other games in siegelets (and heroes)

Submitted by Lukawh on Wed, 2019-09-18 12:36

Hi, guys. The title pretty much says it all. I would like to ask, what is opinion of the community on using music/sounds from other games in custom DS maps? I would like to use music from Empire Earth or Serious Sam 3 for example, but I would hate to be banned from the community for violating copyright rights. How do you feel about this? Is it allright, or should I avoid that?

Also, I was planning to adress mod creators, but since I'm already posting this, can anyone advise me on how to legally use playable gargoyle/elfgirl/goblin/orc/etc from heroes_compilation in my custom DS1 map, should I ever release it?

Thanks in forward to anyone taking their time reading this!

Lukawh, if the game is copyrighted then no you could not release it, unless the music used in the game is in the public domain. You could also contact the game creator for permission to add the music and if given permission adding the creator to the readme file along with their written permission to use their work. What you do to an unreleased map is up to you.
