Well, at least one entity got permission to use the copyri, er, trademark: http://sph3re.tv/download/thx-simpsons :) - Rob On 27 Apr 2009, at 13:12, Kassen wrote:
Rob;
I love the idea, but you might be trolling for a lawsuit -- I gather that the THX folks are sensitive about protecting their copyright.
Actually; nothing is being copied so copyright doesn't apply. It is a trademark though; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_Note
It's kinda weird to me, Whenever I encounter anything written about this sound it's always described as being "distinctive" and "recognisable", sometimes even "famous" but I only ever heard it in the context of computer music. I suppose it's still a good marketing device; without that sound I would've never heard of THX.
Anyway, with different choices for the initial distribution and the final chord it should be fine, I think.
