DV tape (labeled) and onto the computer hard drive

MUSIC STUFF( LUCIO HAS THIS STUFF SORTED OUT KINDA LAST I HEARD)

Hey Douglas,

Thanks for asking.

So, we're not legal experts here... and the quick answer is that if the version of Carmina Burana that you have was recorded somewhat recently, it's most likely copyrighted by the orchestra or publisher.

So, the safest thing would be not to use it. However...

I need to check in with some other members of my team, but from what I've read in the past couple minutes, you could use a version that's not copyrighted, and they specifically recommend a MIDI format. Which definitely doesn't sound as good, but it could be legal to use without paying a royalty.

So, if it's important to your movie, you can try one of those, or the version you have. If we're asked to take it down from the website by a publisher, we'd have to do that.

So, ideally we'll find out some more and email you soon. But otherwise, you'd be able to use it and sign that you have the rights if you think you do (the MIDI version, for example)... or to play it totally safe, you'd find something else that works.

Hope that helps a bit,

David

I spoke to the guy in the RSF about using O Fortuna from Carmina Burana. He asked for me to find some information and for you guys to determine if it's acceptable.
