thew_cordenonsi Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'd like to know about copyright on the GTA SA theme song. I wish I could use it in a short film, showing images of the city with that song on background, and I won't even post it on youtube, just use it for a short film festival. Does anyone know if the song is copyrighted, and if so, can I use it for non-profitable purposes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fooking Rekt Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This theme? It's free of copyright. I've used it in +-40 videos and nobody has claimed to be the owner. thew_cordenonsi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBELLIC Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I think you just need to be careful on where you posted it does not have any copyright but companies tries to claim it like what happen to RADAL a gta youtuber got copyright claimed for the theme by companies not even rockstar games even if the company name is censored you could clearly tell it is not them from his joke saying "is that rockstar games?" just be careful where you post it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
