Hi William, First, I'd like to point out that only a couple of sounds were used from Tomb Raider. More specifically the death, jump, and pain sounds for Angela Summers were taken from Tomb Raider II. However, I could easily remove them upon request from Edos or Core Design without too much difficulty. That is a totally different tthing than outright copying an entire game detail for detail. Second, weather or not the owners of the copyrights know about it or not copying a game is still illegal based on current copyright law. There are ways of doing something similar to the copyrighted work without directly violating the copyrighted material itself. one way is creating your own work with different characters, slightly different story line, and the same kind of action and adventure. Third, as for the sound effects most of the effects are common everyday effects anyone can create. For example, the gun sounds, foot step sounds, wolves, dogs, mummies, etc are all sound effects anyone can create or obtain through legal means. In fact, some sounds like the 44 Magnum I have found an effect that was better than the original one. Mine actually has a echo and report that sounds more realistic. Finally, as far as the music goes I do plan in offering the original TR music for my Tomb Raider game, but under a different license. If you don't like the stock music with my Tomb Hunter game you can download the music and sound pack, agree to the license, and install it. However, I won't ship the music with the game do to copyrights.
