Quick question:
On the IRTC webpage, it has a paragraph in the rules section outlining
exactly what you can and can't use from other people.  Any images, models,
etc. MUST be given permission for use and credit.  What about music?  If I
have a song off of a CD that I base the animation around, can I give credit
at the end, make a note in the file, and be on my way?  Is this illegal
since it's not really feasible to contact the distributer (It's public
domain music, but a copyrighted recording).  Thanks in advance (as long as
any reply doesn't negate my work so far :)  ).

 - Ricky

If the performance of the song is copyrighted, and you're using that
performance of the song without the copyright holder's permission,
then yes, this is infringing on the copyright. It doesn't matter how
"feasible" it is to contact the copyright holder.

Does this mean every time you see anything unofficial with a soundtrack that
gives credit at the end, it's a copyright infringement if they didn't
contact anyone about it?  

Thanks for the reply anyway.  It looks like I might just have to record it
myself.

  You can't use copyrighted material without permission, no matter how
much you credit it.
