: : It's not legal, I suggest you don't do it, as if any of the review sites find out, they won't post your level.

: Thanks. I was pretty sure that was the case, but there's no harm in asking, still at least that'll keep the download size down.

So what's the difference between including and referencing sounds? People use the cantina music in levels all the time. Does that not count because it's a ambience .wav? Is it just the music tracks on the CD that are not allowed? Also, I've played lots of levels where illegal sounds are used. Mission to Dante 4 had direct wavs from ROTJ in it. Captured! had south park wavs in it. Don't both Warzone and One Rebel's Sacrifice start out with the Star Wars theme? Is that okay cause it's on the CD and isn't technically distributed? It's funny that you mention 'Lapti Nek' from ROTJ because I already sampled and looped it and put it in as ambience in a lounge in one of my levels. I s'pose I should lose it though, huh? What about this, what if I did an a cappella version of Lapti Nek on my own and it's just me singing in Huttese? But seriously, where does the majority of the JK community draw the line at disobeying the license agreement? I have a level I'm hoping to submit soon and I want to make sure I'm not offending anybody or breaking the law. I've read the license agreement but have also noticed that lots of popular levels diobey its conditions so I just wondered what's accepted. Not trying to pick a fight or anything, just legitimately concerned. -matt
