EDIT: Not Cam. My mistake. The OP was ZebTM.
Zeb, there is a thing that is bugging me...
You are acting like the only obstacle here is just figuring out how to get the file data.
It sounds like you want to make some new music sampling other people's works and distribute it in some form. Right? Like put it up on Soundcloud or Youtube or somewhere so your buddies and folks on the DROD forum can hear it.
That's very cool. I'm all for that.
But dammit man... are you gonna ask permission? Just ask the people that made the thing you want to use. They're all cool people. They'll probably say yes.
Just ask. It's not hard. Legally speaking, you're required to. (With the exception of the public domain music from DROD:AE.)
So for example, if you love the intro music to Journey to Rooted Hold and want to use that. Who wrote it? Emmett Plant. Then find Emmett with google and send him a message, "
Emmett, I love this song. Can I use parts of it in my own song I'm making?"
And I think Emmett might say something like, "
yeah, go ahead! Which parts did you like? Hmm... But this one section of the song, I didn't do, so maybe ask Mike or Erik about that if you want to use that."
The conversation might take extra time, but you are doing some good things by talking to people whose work you intend to use. You're giving them a compliment. You're respecting their wishes in how they want their work to be used. If it goes well, you become collaborators of a sort. It's a great way to enhance your creative experience as well as other people's.
Zeb, I know you mean well, and I already have a good opinion of you. I am just trying to show you that everybody's life could be a little bit better if you would do this one thing.
-Erik
