Title: Music for the war
Post by: oakranger on November 23, 2008, 04:44:20 PM
I know i posted this a while back and will still post it till i see something done.  Lets have a channel that plays 1940 ear muscis that fits in what was listen at the time of WWII.  Also play BBC news or Roosevelt weekend new on the war front.  Hear a few Axis Annie or Tokyo Rose Papagena.

It is a nice idea.... However will ABSOLUTELY never happen.

HTC would have to buy the license for each song played.  Especially because they are making money from the game.

And they are not cheap at all.

There might be some music in the public domain that can be used. But public domain music is basically stuff thats so old the copyright has expired, and/or, nobody ever claimed copyright. But even public domain material can be legally murky.

You have to be very careful with copyright material. I use buyout music, another option, when I edit wedding videos. "Buyout music" is music that the artist not only sells you but also sells you the right to use commercially, normally with some kind of limits written in the contract that comes with it. Try explaining to a bride why you cant play "The Beatles" as she's walking down the isle of her wedding? Another reason I got out of the bizz.

It even goes deeper then that with copyright laws on Intellectual property. If you copy a CD or DVD for backup, "yes the discs do go bad", your actually breaking the law. And a Federal one at that. But generally the standard used for prosecution is if an agent is using it for some kind of personal benefit or monetary gain. For instance if you use copyrighted material on you tube to promote your business you might have a problem. If you just use it for your cartoon airplane video, for recreational purposes, then probably nobody is going to bother you. However you are still breaking the law. If you copy Hollywood movies by the thousands, and sell them on the side, you might have a very, very big legal problem. The entertainment industry does not strike me as a conglomerate you want to make enemies with casually.

I'm sure nobody knows all of this better then our favorite cartoon airplane maker. I have a stereo by my flight desk. So when I'm in the mood I put on some music to accompany my getting shot up all night long.

Add a music slot in the sound directory.. Play it in the oclub and tower or something. Players would supply the tunes in the custom skins & sounds forum.

Yeah, like player bands would do covers of Roll me over in the clover, or some such.

We used to do almost the exact same thing on my Steam group, except we'd use HLDJ and HLSS for music playback instead. Of course, it was horrifically abused on the side... But that was really kind of encouraged back then.


On I side note, I would like to play "Run to the hills" when said La-La runs away.....

I like the idea that Moot has suggested about just adding a music slot to the directory.  That would be cool to have some tunes playing while in the tower, or in the hanger choosing our plane and setting the skins and convergence.
Hell of an idea.
