ethan507 Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 So, I have a list of songs I want to use in a radio station for my new map. On Youtube's Copyright Checker it states that they can be used for free, but ads may appear. Does this mean I can use them in my mod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShabnamHoward Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Nexusmods looks at music used in mods carefully due to their legal exposure. YouTube's statement is restricted to use on their service only. The mention of possible ads indicates their license to use has a money stream, part of which is likely paid to the copyright owner in exchange for their right to use. There is no reason to assume you won't get your mod knocked off of nexus for using material you do not have permissions for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radsweeper Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 If your mod is for strictly personal use, no problem there. However any copyrighted song cannot be included in ANY mod, unless a) you have written agreement from copyrighted owner with or without financial compensation. b) you have said agreement and do not monetized planned mod. IANAL and your mileage may vary. But as a rule copyrighted songs are a BIG no-no and can bring a world of legal AND monetary pain. Not to mention possibly a ban here. If you want to get a taste of that barrel of crap that is song copyright, look up the "Happy Birthday' song and its companion mess and how long it took to finally kill it off. Enjoy your flight!
