The "modern" FT2 clone is probably this one

My main concern, as far as getting things published, is the voice samples I've used. Not sure if Purple Motion got the sample from Batman clearedHe most definitely didn't. Nobody cared back then, and these days many people still don't care.
As long as you DON'T MAKE A PENNY! Everything is safe...That's a dangerous assumption to make and definitely not a safe legal advise to give. A license violation is still a license violation if you don't make any money off it. Whether you personally agree that this is sensible or not is of little relevance to the legal system.
Just because a person 'originated' a file (created) does not mean they have a copyright...You gotta file for it which takes awhileWrong. The Berne Convention mandates that copyright is given automatically; it is prohibited to require formal registration. However there are some differences in how the US handles it, but in general, if you created something, you implicitly have the copyright to it.
But my main question is, does anyone know about the copyright status of the samples WITHIN the Unreal II PM s3m by Purple Motion? I'm particularly interested in using the piano chord samples within in my own work.That's a particularly tricky file to ask about because it contains samples from movies (e.g. "ten seconds to transmission" from Batman). Many remixes (in particular those that ended up on CDs) of this song have avoided using those voice samples due to the lack of copyright clearance.
