What about music copyrights?

[Dante]

What happens in several years, will the game no longer be available? Or does the russian music used in the game (exclusively from the USSR times) no longer have license rights?

Or doesn't matter, because russians don't care about licenses and piracy?

Serious question btw <3

I doubt Twitch or Youtube cares about Russian copyrights at this point.

See GTA4 and patching out some tracks. Because licenses for the used music have expired and the makers are not renewing them any further

Well people use YT and Twitch to stream, if that was what you were wondering.

I don't think piracy or rights work the same in Russia,

if more people hear your music, it means free publicity, which means more money and fame. Atleast from my point of view.

[BEEP!]

Pretty shere there's a option for that

People! It's not about streaming or sh1t. It's about the situation in 5-10 years. If the license for the music used has expired

Since the game was made in Russia, it promotes the countrys music, doubt there would be any licencing issues, this is not an American game. Rockstar and GTA is american.

"copyright music duration

70 years

German copyright law lasts up to 70 years after the author's death. That means: As long as the composer is alive, the copyright lies solely with him. After his death, it initially passes to his heirs for a total of 70 years. Only then is it considered “in the public domain”

In Germany it's like this...

The answer is the same as for any other game. If you want to preserve it, you'll need to wait till it's cracked then preserve a cracked copy. I don't care enough about game music to bother but it's always a functional way. That's why we're PC people and not console gamers. We can control our own PC's. For now anyway.

Probably the same thing that happened to Alan Wake, several of the Grand Theft Auto games, and nearly every racing game CodeMasters ever touched, and likely dozens others... they change the song(s) and move on.

They already have russian music protected by copyright they haven't paid for.

I don't know Carl, I can always play my GTA4 Xbox360 physical version with all the tracks like 10+ years ago.

But I understand what you mean, albeit rowdy words...

Codemaster has removed some games (DIRT Rally?) from the store because of that?

[Sapphire Starlight]

They literally bought rights for those songs
