ATTENTION - MM8BDM "Music Packs"

[ambrose]

It is just music.

it's not just music, it's an art and a business. just because you can easily steal it in the comfort of your own home doesn't mean it's okay. think of it like this, which is worse: stealing something that someone spent money on (like a car), or stealing something that someone actually made themselves, purely based on intellect and musical ability?

it's probably easy to brush it off like it's nothing, but try making a living as a musician / composer first, then see how you feel about it.

I wouldn't mind. Heck, if people stole it, I'd actually feel good because that means people really like it.[/quote]

So people who steal the music automatically like it more than those who are willing to give money for the art that they love?

...GOD DAMN YOU NINJA-POSTING!

[saskrotch]

well i've had my music stolen digitally (mp3s), physically(CDs from a show), and even intellectually (people posting it as their own work on myspace and such), and none of it is 'feel good' material.

[Smunch]

Yeah, I released something with a song from DKCR, which I don't see a buyable soundtrack of anywhere.  Therefore, 'tis good.

[Alucard]

I check all official (not fan-made) songs, even official remixes, for legalities before I release them.

[LlamaHombre]

I assume if The X series soundtrack is legal, then any classic song mixed in X style, or any MMX8 themes would be legal.

But if capcom's fine with Megaman, wouldn't it be fine with an Ace Attorney OST?

This site has plenty of fanmade AA games, songs, and sprites, so I'd think it would be legal.

Can I post Rockman 4 MI music pack???

So.... no MegaMan Unlimited music packs?

[Ceridran]

No, it should be fine to use Unlimited's music.
It's a fangame, which unless authorized by Capcom themselves who have the rights to Megaman, it cannot be sold.

[Dimpsy]

Of course since I've only made about three music packs, I should be in the clear due to all OSTs of them not being buyable.

Ah, thanks. I got a music pack to upload from it then. It includes the 9 robot master stage themes and the boss theme

[PotatoStrike]

A map from CSCM have a Kirby's Dreamland 2 8bit-remixed music. The music is Dark Castle Theme. Is this count?

[Goomba98]

Does it count if the soundtrack is only available as an import if you don't live in Japan?

[Russel]

If you can purchase the soundtrack in any way, then it cannot be used in any work related to a mod.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- music packs
- map packs
- gameplay modifications
- skins

Import or otherwise.

What if it's from a site like Bandcamp, in which you have the option of paying money to support the artist, but also the option to get the soundtrack for free?
