Falconsflight Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 I was wondering if it is okay to use voices from television in our mods rather then doing our own voice acting, there may be some rules against this or something so I thought I would ask first, lemme know thanks.

Sunnie Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 That would be a copyright violation, and you would not be able to legally release such material publicly. You would need to get a written release from the TV shows IP owner in order to legally do that. Good luck there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always make it and then not distribute it, just use it yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CampanaAliquanta Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 ya I guess, but if someone were to lets say model a texture that is from a tv show or movie, is that not also considered illegal? That would then be their own work, because they recreated it. They didn't download the model from the TV show. If someone records a voice from a TV show and distributes it, that would be a copyright violation. If they mimic the voice, and record their own version of it, then it would be fine.

Alright so if I model everything from this tv show and just use subtitles or find some voice actors to be the characters, that would be fine?

To be honest the whole illegitimacy is a formality. Nexus can't allow it because they are liable and need to have such a policy, but you as a private person aren't really at a risk.At worse you would get a "Cease and Desist" note.So keep to yourself or share on another site.
