I guess they are stock sound clips, sorta like stock shots.
A beep is a beep is a beep.
Just because I put three beeps together, I can claim exclusive rights to a triple beep?
lol
Sound files would be like music, public domain.
Nobody has a copyright on a C note or a beep.
Again, I think people get carried away with copyrights.
It would have to be unique and somewhat complex to make any claim to it (like a composition), which this sound is too simple to ever claim that.
Unless it had a person's voice or something else in the background that would distinguish it from other recordings, then I doubt they have a claim.
Again, two different sounds that sound the same because they are so simple...a triple beep.
Quote: "Most of those sounds are similar in alot of movies/games whatever. Same goes with comedy shows, sometimes you hear the exact same applause in 2-3 different shows."
Yeah, each studio has a library of stock sound clips and stock shots for their producers to pull from.
I'm sure there was a triple beep somewhere at that network before it was used in Star Trek The Next Generation.
Just like TGC provides us with stock media in FPSC (like the clip in question), and that is why you will now hear that sound in most FPSC games.
Will anyone think that someone else ripped that sound from my game, since theirs came after?
No, because we all know that
it is a stock sound that is available to any FPSC developer.
Thanks for the media TGC, because I know that these sounds are legitimate.
