I am new here, and I did search for this topic but I couldn't find anything about it.. Is Aphex Twin music royalty free? That is, can I use it in my video without being sued by him? I am making a short film for school that will also be put into various short film festivals, so I have to have music that I have permission from the artist to use, or that is royalty free. So, if Richard D. James has ever stated that it is okay to use his music or something, I'd really love to know.. Any help would be appreciated! |

Really? Did you really just post this? Buy an album, download it illegally, whatever. |

It's not a matter of getting the music..I already have all of his albums..I just would like to know that if I have permission to use it in my movie. |

stuff like this has been asked before. someone couldn't get an hold of him through rephlex. i'd just use it. i don't think it's royalty free, i don't know if he's said something along those lines |

Okay thanks for actually answering my question instead of being a douche. I know I probably seem really ignorant because this question was probably asked before but nothing showed up when i searched for it. |

It really doesn't matter. He's not going to sue because he's a loony cunt anyways. |

For that reason he might sue just for fun. |
||||||||

Yeah it doesn't seem like he's the type who would just sue someone for using his song..anyways it's for a high school film festival that isn't directly for my profit so I'm probably just being too cautious. |

if you arent going to make money out of it yourself, there shouldnt be any problem. but don't quote me in court pls. |

NO, I WON'T SUE YOU. FEEL FREE TO USE ANY OF MY MUSIC YOU LIKE. BUT HEY, CHECK OUT THE TUSS BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING WITH MY MATERIAL FROM APHEX TWIN. |

instead of using music which is questionably legal to use, find something with a license and youre all gravy. |

It is illegal to use copyrighted music in film without permission. If you are just making something for YouTube it is probably not a big deal, but if you want to enter your films into festivals it will probably be an issue. My friend entered a film into a 1 minute film festival, and the host of the festival was going to make a DVD of all the films. That was until the DVD manufacturer called and asked if they had copyright releases for some of the music used (some people used copyrighted music in their films). Of course they didn't and the DVDs couldn't be made because the burning house would be liable. |

Given that Mr James' music is released by Warner in the United Fakes of Amerikkka it would probably be wise to make enquiries with them. |

isnt there also a fair use clause in the dmca? something along the lines of 50 seconds is ok, but you really need to research it before doing anything, legal trouble is a big bitch |

Just have to make sure it isnt a "No Derivatives" |

enter your film under 'an' false name .. hello i made this film and my name is mr.flipy you are then safe from evil |

and also about youtube.. the site gets millions of illegal/copyrighted uploads weekly, they /never/ do any legal followups they just remove it, so as far as that goes you can safely upload copyrighted material, although expect to have it removed if the owner sees it and reports it |
