Title: Using music from public doman film Post by: Ivan on February 27, 2009, 01:38:40 AM Is it legal to use the music from a film that is now under public domain (1927 film, copyright never renewed) for a non-commercial game? I can't find anything specific about that.

Title: Re: Using music from public doman film Post by: increpare on February 27, 2009, 04:56:36 AM music and movies are covered by the same copyright, I think. In europe it's less lengthy than in america; I was planning on using some WW2 propaganda music for a game recently, but decided against it/put it on hold.
