2Q: Music in gameplay video and legal software

Aliii · 2012-09-08T15:43:48

1: As far as I know you cant use someone elses music/sounds in your game even if the game is free. ....correct me if Im wrong. But lets say you put up a gameplay video of your game on Youtube or your website with some music thats not yours and not "free" ....is that illegal too? 2: Wheres the point where you can no longer use software that you didint pay for? What if you are selling games but you are not a registered "company" or anything yet? Thanks a lot!

Sorry for bumping this thread! I find some music that I guess I can use, I just want to be 100% sure.
It says that Its licensed under this:

I can use it even if I make profit from the game, I just have to declare somewhere in the game or under the video that this music/sound belongs to such and such author, right? Thanks!

Yes, that is correct.
