So as many of you know i have been working on my youtube to produce better higher quility videos. I recently started a Mud mower build and decided I would love to end the build video kind of like how they end pimp my ribe or overhauling. Where just before they put on the paint and finishing touches they cut out. Then the reveal the car in a series of clips and pics with a 30 secound bit of music. Well i got thinking about it and remembered an old game i used to play that had an awsome intro music
See first 28 secounds of this video

So the game was released in 1997 it took me a weak to hunt down the original writer of the learics and get an email to him. After recieving a rather rude email back from him about his music i explained I would be willing to pay him and credit him for the rights to use it. I expected to get my hopes and dreams bashed in with an email state some god knows what price that i could not aford. But at least i would have tried. Well instead i get back an email with him admitting he did not own the copywrite :irked: on it and that team17 the software company did. Great so i moved on to team 17 with some more research i found out that they had realeased to opensorce the games music :drool: I became estatic and began the search to get my leagal realeased copy. I found the open realease files and opened the music file. There where only 7 songs (should have been 8) none of wich where 28 secounds. Turns out the intro from 1997 has never once been reused and is still under copywrite protection.

:cry::irked:

End rant!!!
