Erik Springelkamp Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Long time ago since I heard it, but isn't it the Leningrad Symphony of Shostakovitch? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erwin Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I vaguely recall they couldn't get/afford the rights to Ride of The Valkyries. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Rights to "Ride of the Valkyries"? Well, Richard Wagner is dead for more than a 70 years, which means the copyright should have vanished long ago. Getting some new copyright from putting it into a movie shouldn't work. But I dunno what US courts say about that.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Disney puts a stolen story in a movie, they always get copyright, for ever and eternity. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 The music may be out of copyright, but I bet the performances are all owned. So, BFC could have simply pasted in the score at the start of CMBB instead of music. Re Disney: That is what "Disneyfication" is all about. They change it to make it copyrightably THEIRS. And so does everyone else in the creative world. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a creative world that follows different philosophies. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Actually, no and no. Eg. there are lots of animations about "Little Mermaid", that story by H.C. Andersen is not copyrighted but of course the plot and characters seen in the Disney version of that story are all intellectual properties of Disney Corp. But you can still make and sell your own versions of the original story. There are lots of them. I doubt that buying the rights for an orchestral performance of composer X would be much more expensive than that of composer Y when both composers are long dead and the works of both are readily available. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erwin Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 "But you can still make and sell your own versions of the original story." Yes, exactly. Disney only owns copyright to their version. And yes, I was thinking creative business a la Disney. If you are a potter in Serbia it doesn't compare - unless you put Disney characters on your pots. Then, it's a big problem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted February 17, 2011 Share Posted February 17, 2011 If there is a non-zero risk that a large movie company sues a startup company because the movie studio states that the combo "war" and "ride of the valkyries" belongs to them the startup company won't risk getting sued. Legal expenses will eat up its budget long before the end of the lawsuit. The movie company knows that it will win in a lawsuit. One way (a verdict) or another (money runs out for the opponents). That increases the probability of getting sued for the small company. Now what would you do as a small startup company? I'd reduce that risk. However small it might be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that a bit far-fetched theory, given how there's nothing suggesting so? And Night on Bald Mountain is already used in Walt Disney's Fantasia... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
