Maplestory Copyright Question

I've been playing Minecraft for a while now (Semi-Quitting Maplestory for a while [probably switching to MS2]) and I've recently had the idea of making a Minecraft adventure map about Maplestory. It'll bring some nostalgia to old maplers. But I kinda wanted to include nexon's actual BGMs in the map and I need to know if Nexon is gonna sue me for this or if it's gonna be fine

If it IS copyrighted can I just remix it or give Nexon credit?

Under law, they can request you to not do it any time they want due to copyright laws, but they won't since you aren't
1. Stealing their work and claiming ownership
2. Making tons of profit.

and they're probably more busy worrying how to milk us of our cash.

[quote=ThaCookey]I emailed nexon about using footage from their game and they said it was fine.
I assume they also don't care about the BGM since it is included in footage of their game
But you can always email them ... they didn't take long to reply actually[/quote]

Could I have the email you used?

As long as you don't claim it's yours and make profit using it, I think it should be fine. I'm not 100% though.
