I think now I can confidently say I will never be playing this.
OK, i'm guessing you're in this line of work so please don't take any offence but I gotta say, I don't understand this. Why is it ok to do this for graphic design but not music/books/film etc.? How much do you have to change in order for it not to just be ripping off someone elses work?pantyfire wrote:People don't realise that as a graphic designer/whatever. This is what you fucking do.
vicinity_of_pie wrote:@pf What i'm getting at is more why is it acceptable at all? Those questions in my first paragraph weren't rhetorical - I mean, if you wanted to make a nice catchy tune for your game but you don't have the right software/instrument/musician etc. you can't just go find some music you think will fit, cut, edit it, add effects etc. just because it will save time and you'll be able to produce work faster. I mean you could but if the work was recognizable then you'd likely have a few pretty pissed off copyright holders on your case - this is true of other artistic works. I'm surprised it wound you up because quite honestly, I don't think this is common knowledge at all. Again, just trying to understand where the difference lies.
