What is the legal status of demoscene productions?
Generally spoken, demoscene productions are freeware. You can copy and distribute them, as long as it keeps free of charge (and warranty). On the other hand, demoscene productions often contain copyrighted material in one way or the other. Most notably, it’s the (rather rare) case of ripped soundtracks and (more often) graphics. Several classic demos could not be presented on the Mindcandy DVD (see [7.2.]) or needed to be edited for this very reason.
