The Lobby / Re: Using old game music in own production

Legally speaking, it would be a breach of copyright. But with many of the old games, often the company that owns the rights is long disbanded.
It is illegal, but generally isn't a huge problem for small projects - if they copyright holder is still around, will they even know their tune is being used? Many small game makers and music producers fly so far under the radar that nobody ever notices.
I sampled a Konami game on my album, I've had modest downloads, and not a single cease and desist.
