Hi I've almost finished my entry to the LOTR contest. And at the moment I'm using the sound from one of the trailers. This 37 second sound clip is free to download from The Lord of the Rings Movie website so would it be OK to use it if it is included in the credits along with a link? I mean would it be breaking any copyrights or anything? "To err is human, to really mess up requires a computer" Edited by - Lukerd on March 10, 2002 7:37:25 AM

Looks like it can''t be used.
Legal stuff from the trailer downloading site:

Why are you being discouraging toward him? How do you know they will say no?

Don''t be an idiot and make stupid ass comments like that.

I''ve known many a company to be leniant to people who would like to borrow a small copyrighted piece as long as they''re not reselling it.

i think he meant at the very worst they can do is say no..
i dont think he was implying they would say "no" regardless

It''s sort of like saying, "Go for a walk. The worst that can happen is you''ll be run over by a bus and mauled by a pack of rabid dogs."

Chances are it won''t happen but in the worst case scenario there''s always a possibility.
