The Lobby / Using old game music in own production
« on: February 26, 2009, 13:02:12 »
Does anyone know about legal aspects of using music from an old game in ones own productions?
To be more precise, I intend to make an AGS (Adventure Game Studio) game and have remixed music from the game 'Blood Money', which would fit perfectly into the planned Sci-Fi scenario. The game, if ever I finish it, would be freeware, of course.
Would this be legal or do I have to get in contact with whoever has the copyrights of this game (which I imagine would be difficult, since it is about 20 years old)?
