Minimising the use of actual official material from the companies involved in the creation of Bubblegum Crisis would be the wise thing to do...

If you're talking about distributing MP3 of soundtracks then yeah, that has some risk to it. That's why I suggested tracked/sequenced versions as an alternative. The problem is that we'd need a music specialist. I am capable of editing the soundtracks (shortening them, adding repeats, etc.) but creating arranged versions is a much more difficult job.

As for graphics: well, I think it's unavoidable. Creating original graphics is far beyond the scope of this project. I suppose it could be done, but I am very pessemistic about getting artists with enough skill and experience. I honestly don't think the copyright owners of the anime would care though; if anything it would only benefit them. Soundtracks aren't as clear, however.

Does anyone know how much legal trouble those anime music video creators get into? I'd guess it would mostly be from US record companies, not Japanese anime companies. This project is somewhere inbetween: using Japanese graphics and music.
