Like using music from a video game/film in a video that isn’t published on the internet, or using it as a ringtone in phones, or using voice lines from a video game as notification sounds. (There are a lot of other uses that I won’t mention here)

    In most countries distribution of the copyright content is the illegal part not acquisition.

    So people running those ring tones orgs in the early 2000s would be the one that gets chased not some bloke who has it as their ringtone.
