Trying to contact RON KLARIN

[mikrucio]

I am a keyboardist and composer. We are about to release our debut album (Power Metal). Im doing a cover of ron klarins battle squadron title track and 1st level track rolled into one for the album as a bonus song, showing our musical roots lie in the Amiga.

Iv tried to contact Ron asking him permission to do this.
this was about 2 months ago now.

His web site is in german which leads me to believe that he cant speak english. Does anyone have any other means to contact him. or any german speaking people pop him an email asking him to contact me. please.

Woops yeah i misspelt it.

Yes i have already CONTACTED HIM THROUGH HIS WEBSITE>
as mentioned over 2 months ago.

So should i just keep trying?

[mikrucio]

Well after failing to notice the fact that ron's site
hasnt been updated in 2 years. tells me 2 things.

He is dead.

Or he no longer works.

If we use his tunes in our CD. And give him clear and direct credit. are we capable of being sued?

News!!

i contacted me local copyrights dept.
in australia it's APRA.

They said since I have tried to contact the original composer.
many times. and As long as i have documented proof. (emails and amiga.org)

And as long as I Credit Ron Klaren for the track.
The only thing I am entitled to do is pay Ron royalties.
which in my case is $144 per 1000 cd's.

So if Ron ever complains I'd be happy to give him his royalties.

SO IT"S ALL GOOD!

for future reference if anyone wants to get ron
