EA ignores Frank Klepacki
As some of you might have noticed, EA is releasing several game soundtracks on Itunes and others.
However, I just read on Frank Klepacki's homepage www.frankklepacki.com that although for example the Red Alert soundtrack has been released on ITunes, EA credited all composers EXCEPT FRANK.
Even IF this was an accident, us the community can by no means ignore this. Frank is for sure one of the best and most talented game-soundtrack composers out there and definitely played an important role in the success of the C&C series, and absolutely doesn't deserve to be ignored in such a - I dare to say - insulting way.
I think that we as the community should do everything we can to put things right. EA mustn't get through with that! QUICK_EDIT

Aw, for fucks sake!!!!! I'm sick of EA, now. How the hell could they do this? This is the last straw! _________________ Destroy to create. All for the hunt to dominate!
omg those retards. they have gone to far now.
This really pisses me off, his music is great and the crap that EA makes is nothing.
First they screw up C&C games and now this, no respect that's what it's called. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
erm yea, this is a kinda big thing to go complain about, but no need to say "@)@$% You EA, you &%$£" a nice email or so to him or EA exlpaining why would be the best way of resolving it QUICK_EDIT

Goddamnit.. STUPID PIECES OF SHIT. And of course it's not an accident, anyone who works on EALA should know Frank made the music for the games. PLEASE give the C&C RIGHTS TO SOMEONE WHO CARES. Freaking sick of this. _________________ Tesla - Where positive energy meets negative energy QUICK_EDIT
It is most probably an accident, although it does seem hard to forget a name as famous as Frank's, either it was a terrible accident; Or, something Frank signed took away his rights. QUICK_EDIT
EA Games is bringing their foot back to kick the tiger's ass. A couple more 'accidents' like this, someone's gonna snap.
Banshee, do NOT forget to mention this in your email.
A warning to EA Games: We are NOT stupid. Get a f*cking clue or get the hell out of the Computer Game business. _________________ "Banned" RP here QUICK_EDIT
I noticed this when I saw the press release for the iTunes releases...
I'm really thinking that something happened when Westwood was merged with EA, I'm really thinking that quite a few of Westwood's employees reacted very badly, and did something rash...
Which would explain Petroglyph's creation, Mark Skagg's disappearance, and this. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
errrrr, none of you have enough information say to make any comment IMO. for all you know frank sold them extensive rights to his music, or he himself decided to have his name excluded. _________________ the doctor is in QUICK_EDIT
I dont see why he would want his name excluded (Actually I can think of several reasons why, but that's besides the point.) and even if he sold EA rights to include his music without credit, its still good form to name him.
We should all visit the link at the top of this post to his site so that he's enticed to visit.
That's http://www.frankklepacki.com _________________ QUICK_EDIT
LETS GO BURN EA DOWN!!
And EA Might get broken up, I've been hearing rumors of a anti-trust thing getting slapped on them. _________________ ... QUICK_EDIT
It is also illegal. Although the C&C Music belongs to EA, it also belongs to Frank, since its his intellectual property, as far as I know. I think he can shut this down legally in a heart beat if they did not include his name. _________________ CnC-Source Forum Moderator QUICK_EDIT

Frank's probably on the phone with his lawyer. Atleast I hope to god he is. And where the ztype is Joe Kucan? I want to hear his two cents on this whole bullshit fest. _________________ PPM's Reichstrollfuherer, 236th Trollenparties brigade. QUICK_EDIT
this is nothing more than the typical EA bullshit. and I think we are right to say that all of their BS is gonna blow up in their greedy, disrespectful faces. and when it does, we need to be their to pick up the ashes and put them back together again they way they should have been all along. or, the rights will go back to those who really deserve them. any ways, i guess the jist of theis post is:
DOWN WITH EA!!!
LONG LIVE WESTWOOD!!!! _________________ QUICK_EDIT

I agree, this will not be tolerated, we will not let it go unpunished, for we r the C&C fans, and EA will not get away with this, (hits fist in wall, then wall breaks with it) now c here loyal C&C fans, this it wat I think of always doing to EA for not even caring the least bit of C&C nastalgia for us, the C&C fans and this is to EA and not to us, becuz' we r the Iron Curtain which will make the Westwood C&C history live forever!!!!!
Remember me well, Scrin Commander, Commander of the S.P.I.F. (Scrin Planetary Invasion Force)
Down with all EA non-C&C nastalgia!!
Long live the Westwood C&C saga which has kept us going all this way and kept going all the way!!! _________________ QUICK_EDIT

It seems that EALA guys weren't aware of it.

I'm going to look into this guys. Lion, please send me a reminder e-mail. If Frank reads this, I got your back buddy, even though we have never formally met. And FYI, our studio and dev team have nothing to do with that press release, so I will get to the bottom of this.
Cheers,
APOC

Dude... you should have read my reply above with his message posted at CNCDEN and the latest news where they give official words saying that Frank will be credited everywhere they've placed their musics...
The news posted above is old and it's being sorted. _________________
