Marciano Sidoni samples Goto80

Ok, this video samples the music from HT Gold – the most complex reverse engineered c64 interactive glitch machinima game thing, with maximum playability! (hello buzz words) Autoboy did the programming and I made the music. It was exhibited in 6 meter format at the main square of Copenhagen, at mikrogalleriet, and at HAIP Festival. And now this guy samples the audio, without permission, without credit. I guess people don’t recognize it as music, and then my remark is a bit naggy-waggy. Indeed, we left some of the sound effects from the original game (ring modulated with the song) but most of the sounds that you can hear come from a song that plays linearly. And the sampled bits in the video are quite loooong. Well, the song is not CC’ed and maybe it’s not even eligable for copyright (as a non-fixed work), so.. yeah. It’s because of things like this that copyright could actually have some kind of practical purpose, somewhere behind the economism…

    Technically, dear mr Marciano took the soundtrackof a registration I made of a game we played against eachother, which is distributed under a lovely creative commons 2.0 licence here: http://blip.tv/file/1080787
    I had to look for the information about the license myself because blip seems to tuck away this info very well… But it was there in the right under corner all along..

    Maybe Blip has got a point here though.. doing your own (home)work is so 90s.
