It may be that in my newbness, I'm overlooking it here, but worst case scenario I'll get called nub and told what's what.
Is anyone familiar with "Arthas Destiny"? It appears to be a fan project on youtube, mixing clips from the World of Warcraft online game with Loreena McKennit's "Mystic's Dream", to great effect.
Questions stem from this, as I doubt it's anything officially authorized by herself - would it be considered acceptable to post links to this elsewhere, or is it considered copyright infringement?
Hello WorldWithoutEnd (do you mind if I call you WWE?). Unfortunetly I have no idea of the correct answer to this question. However, I can tell you that links to other youtube videos featuring Loreena's music which are also not the sort of thing that look like they've been officially authorized either have been posted on this message board before. Of course this doesn't mean it isn't copyright infringement, but if it is, we haven't been told. Loreena herself does pop into the MB from time to time, (although she seems to avoid the General forum) so if she would feel offended and used by such "copyright infringment", I doubt that the moderators would allow it to be posted. Personally, if I was Loreena I would actually feel quite pleased with myself knowing that people were using my music to create their own music videos with footage or images they've got lying around at home...as long as they had paid for the songs and not illegally downloaded them for free
