Garrett Williamson Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 So I'm thinking about sticking in a Japanese version of a soundbite from an anime show into the beginning of one of my tracks, but I have no earthly idea what the copyright deal is with that, especially since I'm commercially selling this project. I'm not sure how safe I am doing so. Anyone know the answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 (edited) My gut says no. I think I recall Japanese copyright to be really strange. http://www.worldipreview.com/news/japan-considers-copyright-law-extension http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Japan#Author.27s_rights http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Japan#Public_domain Edited February 4, 2014 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 99% sure that any voice clips or other sound within an episode of the show will belong to the company that owns/made the thing and to use it, you would need permission from the animation company.

Assuming copyright law in Japan is anything like it is in the US, this is definitely correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 haha I think that's enough confirmation to tell me I'll need some permission to take any of that stuff. Probably won't bother to do so. The track can easily go without it. Just may have added to the effect. Thanks guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
