Chiller

[TomCaT]

Кто знает, о чем это речь на WoS (http://www.worldofspectrum.org/infoseekid.cgi?id=0000930) :


Problems arose when it was found out that the backing music bore a remarkable resemblance to Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'. Mastertronic "agreed to negotiate a royalty in respect of this, and to use different music in future production runs."
As such, there could be a version with different music.

Проблемы появились, когда было обнаружено, что фоновая музыка имела явное сходство с "Триллером" Майкла Джексона. Mastertronic согласились договорится о возмещении в связи с этим, и использовать другую музыку в дальнейших выпусках.
Потому, могут быть версии с другой музыкой.

А где музыка?

"Where I do feel some software houses have been in a dodgy area is when they do use copyrighted material illegally. It isn’t a Spectrum game, but Mastertronic have been forced to withdraw their game Chiller because it used the music Thriller by Michael Jackson as backing. This was done without first obtaining a licence from Rocksoft, the sole exclusive agent for the original publisher of the song. As a result of legal proceedings, Mastertronic have been forced to withdraw the game and make what is described as a ‘substantial’ out of court settlement.
