Now that almost everything is recorded digitally, it must be easy for someone who has access to the files (composer, sound engineer.) to copy them, and there's a good chance that's going to be found eventually somewhere on the net.Ĭomplete soundtracks are now most probably exchanged on private forums. That's how they get on the internet in the end. However some people sell these anyway, or give them away. The terms "For promotional use only" mean they're not to be resold, you're right about that. Sometimes these promos contain the same program as the commercial discs, other times they're more complete. Especially around the time of the Academy Awards. When they release a complete score, a label like La-La Land Records rarely produces more than 3000 copies.Ĭomposers and movie companies produce promotional records to get better exposure. It would probably not be economically viable for a record company to release every note composed for each movie. You have to pay royalties to the musicians to put the music on disc. That'a a matter of point of view, an artistic choice, but some cues they wrote may to work outside the movie.Ĭost is also involved in decisions. Some composers don't think that complete scores make good records. Note that I'm not in the business, so I can only make assumptions.
