dubiousintent Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 (edited) Unfortunately for your purposes, sounds recorded as part of a movie are included in the film's copyright. See "Musical Compositions and Sound Recordings" from the US Copyright Office. See also "Public domain Sound Recordings", which explains that the rule of thumb is "There are NO Sound Recordings in the Public Domain in the USA". Their use in a mod would be copyright infringement under Nexus "Terms of Service". You will have to find a source that explicitly grants free use, and be able to document that. Copyright in other countries is another matter, but you still need to be able to prove to Nexus you have the legal right to use the material or risk banning. -Dubious- Edited June 29, 2017 by dubiousintent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubiousintent Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Again, what YOU do for your own use is one thing. What you ask someone ELSE to do for you is another matter all together. "Selling" doesn't enter into it. "Distribution" (even privately just from them to you) is what is illegal in this instance. Please don't think "I'm too small for them to sue, and too broke for them to get anything." If the ethical argument isn't enough of a reason, there are plenty of examples to be found on the internet of minors being sued and the courts garnishing wages for decades to pay off fines. (Filing for bankruptcy doesn't get you out of paying court fines and costs.) Suggest you learn how to do this on your own. Please see the 'Music & Sounds' section of the wiki "Getting started creating mods using GECK" article. It's less difficult than you think. -Dubious- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
