As far as the rules- What rules did you read- Go to www.usfirst.org go to Robotics Comp then Documents- then look for the Awards.pdf and go to page 17. Then dont stop reading till you finnish the entire section (page 24 I think) If you dont see anything on not using copyrighted music and the still frame at the beginning then read it again! If you still dont see it- ask anyone with common sence - how much trouble you can get in if you use copyrighted music in a published video/animation without permission. |

Click Here for the awards documents. I believe that the 10 seconds was released in a team update, not in the original rules because i cannot find the place where it says that you need to hold it for 10 seconds (well i might have just skipped over it, I'm tired).
Also Stevek, remember if you only use 10% of the song it is legal to not obtain permission (however it is courteous to do it anyways), so this might confuse people weather they should obtain permission or not. Also did you send in a storyboard of your work??? |

Just to clear up the copyright stuff, the rule is as follows:
For educational purposes only, you may freely use 10%, but no more than 30 seconds, of copyrighted music. Note that FIRST may or may not qualify as an educational use, especially given that it will be posted on Autodesk's website. Also note that you are not allowed to modify the music/lyrics in any way, shape, or form, so you can't do things like add reverb, etc. Go googling (I love that word!) and you can probably find some more details. --Rob |

Because of my teams negligence to look up the rules until almost the due date we weren't able to finish. But that's alright, this year me and a few other students took a free class at Tri-County Tech. College for 3Ds Max and CAD. So look out for next year. Although I have seen many amazing animations out there. Still, look out for us.

Easy answer:
Q: Can you use a piece of copyrighted music, in accordance with fair-use policies (10%, no greater than 30 sec) in a FIRST submitted animation? A: Yes Q: If you do so, will it be disqualified? A: Yes. You CAN put it in. They WILL disqualify you if you do. Fair-use or not, it's still a copyrighted piece. As Dave Lavery bluntly put it: You're screwed. |

What if the soundtrack you want to use is from a computer game? I'm guessing you probably can't use it either.
I'm sure programs like MTV Music Generator (Lets you make your own soundtracks from scratch) are ok to use though. |

music making progams are ok. Those beats are free-use and stringing them together would be your own material. Taking a sample from a computer game would still be copyrighted by the overseeing company (Blizzard, Rockstar, etc.).

The way to do it if using copy written music is to request permission, and include in the credits and probably in your submission envelope the express, written consent say in pretty plain English you can use...
