Burial is a critically acclaimed British electronic artist for those who are unaware - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burial_(musician) < copy-paste

I was listening to http://youtu.be/M1bb2JakOmo?t=4m and immediately recognised the music sampled at 4:15, Red Glowing Dust from EVEs original soundtrack (and one of my favourite eve tracks in general) as heard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iKA2wJp97s .

Just found it kinda cool and interesting, wouldn't surprise me if he is or was an EVE player.

Not CCPs property, I imagine it remains copyright of Jon hallur (or his label), and I would also imagine he would have obtained permission.

You mean CCP: Jón Hallur Haraldsson, who works for CCP and the audio tracks which are under the 'CCP Games' label?
That one??uh-huh... -.-

On a side note, ewww that's terrible
the things they call music these days

I don't think CCP will do anything about it though, it's just three keys of a synth. Just really lazy to not even bother to reproduce it himself, but just slap it right in from a lossy compression format and all. That's not very professional.

Pretty nice track actually. Reminds me of Michael Cretu's early work on Enigma and Trance Atlantic Air Waves.

This thread went downhill quickly. *sigh*
Considering the music was written commissioned by CCP, the copyright is (in all probability) owned by CCP.
Jon does however retain the rights to the score and as such can protect his IP.

That said, asking for permission is something a lot of producers neglect because the odds of getting caught are fairly small.
I tried contacting CCP through various channels before making my remix of Below The Asteroids public because I don't feel like going to court with a company that could potentially bury me in copyright claims.
I got no response. None. At all. So I just made it public and made sure I didn't step on any toes by 1) not selling the remix, 2) crediting the original production and 3) promoting the game with whatever means I could.
So far, I haven't been called to court and CCP hasn't responded in any way, so I guess they don't hate it.

The same problem arises with sampling.
Let's say I sample a typical 808 drum and snare for one of my productions that I want to sell later on.
I know where I downloaded the samples, but I don't know who made the original sample.
I can then contact the website where I downloaded the sample and ask if they know where it originated.
Two options: they don't know and I'm sh*t out of luck, or they know and I can contact the next party.
In case of option 1, I can go ahead and use the samples, but risk getting sued when the original owner finds out and wants to protect his IP.
Or option 2, I can keep contacting people to find out if I can use it or not.
This all takes a massive amount of time which could be better spent producing, so most of the time producers just don't bother unless it's a clearcut case.
The third option is to synthesize the sounds myself, which I usually do. It's more fun that way too.

Other than that, Burial isn't my cup of tea personally.
It's not a bad production in any way, but it just doesn't do anything for me.
My comment also wasn't meant to derail an entire thread, but rather an observation.
I hate you all equally.
