Hi there, fellow music maker!
My name is Simon Viklund, and I am the composer at Overkill/Starbreeze. Overkill/Starbreeze is the developer of the PC/PS3/Xbox360 game "Payday 2", and I made the music for it.
This text file comes along with the remix material provided with the digital release of the Payday 2 soundtrack. Please read this entire text file before you start to make use of the remix material.
I won't go all legal and write a wall of text with rules and regulations for the use of this material, but do I ask you to respect the few requests my employer and I have:
1) This remix material is intended for remixing the Payday 2 soundtrack only. You are not allowed to use any part of this remix material to make your own original work. Any piece of music containing any piece of this remix material is to be considered a remix of the corresponding Payday 2 track, and should therefore be labeled and advertised as such.
2) If you make a remix and upload it to SoundCloud, YouTube or any other distribution form, we would appreciate it if displayed not only the name of the track being remixed - but also mention Payday 2 and provide links to Overkill's, Starbreeze's and/or Simon Viklund's website.
3) We encourage you to spread this material to your music making friends! You are, however, NOT allowed to redistribute this remix material without this text file, and you are certainly not allowed to redistribute it labeled as your own work. We shouldn't even need to say this, but we do so anyway: You are in no way allowed to redistribute this remix material and charge money and/or favors for it.
4) If you make a remix using this remix material, please contact us and let us know! We'd love to hear what you have made!
