Publicity boost

guys,let's not yank factual info about best known trailer music providers to pump your own companies. Bsteph1 (talk) 23:38, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that's it, 2SFH, Audiomachine, Band X Music (and IMO Future World Music) are the most recognized groups out there who make trailer scores, besides this page is not visited enough to serve as a publicity boost. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mbartelsm (talk • contribs) 02:31, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"Knock-off" incompatibility

One of the options lists (and links) "knock-offs of existing songs". However, the linked page on knock-offs claims that a knock-off is by definition a breach of trademark, so that's either the wrong term for it, or the knock-off page itself is overstepping. To be clear, a movie trailer song that was a "knock-off" would be either non-infringing (by being just different enough), or be copyright, not trademark, infringement. In either case, it's not a knock-off by WP's current definition.Archon Shiva (talk) 14:12, 19 October 2014 (UTC) It's been two years, I changed it.Archon Shiva (talk) 06:41, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

X-Ray Dog

NemesisIII is insistent on adding X-Ray Dog to the list of Notable trailer music companies in the article. X-Ray Dog is a redirect to the "Production music" section of Bertelsmann Music Group. Trailer music is not mentioned in that section or any where in the article. There is nothing in Wikipedia to verify that X-Ray Dog is a notable trailer music company. ~ GB fan 20:23, 23 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
