I'd just like to ask about a little copyright problem I 'may' run into.
The thing is, me and a mate at college were talking about old (and I mean old) computer games, and we were discussing our favourite all time classics (as you do). We both agreed that there was a load, but most notably, we loved the old 8-bit Ghostbusters game... remember that :)
Anyway, I fancy making a remake of said game, but I was wondering, well, worried about, is the fact that the music is obviously copyrighted (since it's been in the film/charts etc), would I still be able to use a midi version of it, without getting a smacked botty... Or would I have to ask permission?
I've only made the odd remake, well, I made the odd one or two whilst learning Blitz... And since copyright is a much bigger issue now than when I was learning, where exactly do I stand?
Any advice would be great!
