Is Undertale Music Copyrighted?

[Bookie]

So I wanted to use some of the great songs featured in Undertale, but I'm not sure if they're copyrighted. I'm pretty sure remixes are allowed, but I'm not sure about the official song. Thanks for the answers!

I think it depends on what you use them for.

Copyright and fair usage is a bit complicated. Even if it is copyrighted, there are instances where you can still use them.

I use them on my Youtube, but I give full credit to Toby.

You can use it as long as you credit the creator (Toby) somewhere in the video or description.

Giving credit will not protect legally from copyright claims and fair use necessitates that the work is transformative which is a lot harder to do when it comes to music (A remix with sufficent effort put in should count)

As with a lot of fan created content you will never really have a solid legal standing (unless you got permission from the copyright holder) but as long as you give credit and you put some effort in yourself most devs and even companies wont explicitely hunt you down.

Of course it could always get tagged by content id but thats probably no concern with undertale.

I guess I should have said was dead. When it's been inactive for about 4 months, that is considered "dead".

Credit toby, and make sure it fits under the laws of fair use. then you're good to go. (this probably goes for most other game soundtracks as well, for future reference.)
