Hey
So if I download a game , paid or otherwise , Can I use the game for a VJ gig I am doing?
It'll just play in the background. I am all for crediting the creators of the game. Can someone tell me what are the rights over a game?
Thanks.
IANAL, but to me that sounds equivalent to a Let's Play video, which triggers performance rights. You might want to ask permission first just to be on the safe side. A bother, but these days one has to be paranoid.
Of course, if the game happens to be open source, you already have explicit permission, as set out in most (if not all) popular licenses, so check that first.
