ATTENTION - MM8BDM "Music Packs"

[Alucard]

Guess what?

I browsed the internet, most of the songs in my pack are unbuyable (meaning you have to download them off the internet for free), and the buyable (able to be bought) songs are not copyrighted, meaning:

Yes, my pack is legal.

That's a worry off my shoulders now, whew.

Don't believe me? Go look for them in Google Shopping. In the BUYABLE songs, there are no copyright thingies...whatever they're called.

[Mr. X]

Because music packs are so easy to make, why doesn't everyone keep them to themselves?

To be honest, I released mine so whenever I host a server, I can play some different music.  That's it.

This is an odd place for my first post, but you realize the Mega Man Classic games themselves have purchasable OSTs, yes? They're called "Capcom Music Generation: Rockman 1 ~ 6 Soundtracks."

[CutmanMike]

Capcom (unity) has posted about MM8BDM on their blog a couple of times, which automatically tells me that using any of their 8-bit content is fine  

[Alucard]

So therefore making the Megaman 9 & 10 music packs legal, right?

It is just music.

Well, I'm glad I didn't make any music packs. Then again, I rarely listen to music outside of the game unless I'm playing single player. It gets to be very inconvenient at times during multiplayer. Especially when you can't find the song you wanted and people start killing you. Even more frustrating in Roboenza mode.

I agree completely.

You can also "bind"

Say you want to listen to Cutman's theme in multiplayer, but when you type it in peeps start killing you.

To prepare yourself beforehand, you can do something in single player like...

Open console

Type in (with second pair of quotes, but not the first) "Bind C "Changemus cutmus""

And voila, just press it and enjoy.

Or, to save yourself a key, type it in pre-joining/match. If you wish to replay, console, hit the up arrow, enter.

That takes longer, Korb.

Just pressing the button mid-game is faster than opening console, pressing up, then enter.

You're talking about buyable OST... then, i don't have to worry about that.

Why? I want to release a RKS (Rosenkreuzstilette) Music pack and then i found this topic. I get a little worried about that because RKS is a buyable doujin game, but when i am seeing the earlier posts here (especially the google shopping one) ,i decide to search about buyable OST's of this game (and kirby game is buyable, megaman game is buyable, meh...)...

Google: Nothing
Google Shop: Nothing
Erka:es (Original website from the game): NOTHING!

So im thinking the OST IT'S FREE, the game not, and you can comprobe that on google shop. so i'm going to release an music pack of this rockingmusic from an AWESOME doujin based on megaman, with the best music evaar! and i am planning to release a music pack from RKS freudenstachel too, when the game is fully totally released.

OR IF I AM WRONG, TELL ME! (and i can evit a very big problem )

Now Galaxy, if it is buyable, you check for copyright.

Just letting you know before you release it, JUST IN CASE.

And any other packs that may have buyable OSTs.

The MMNetwork is commonly promoted on CapcomUnity, so if Capcom had issues with this, they would have shut them down a while ago.

Well, im seeing about buyable OST of this game and i dont find nothing related to this. (and i am translating as crazy the original page of the game, none...).

Obviously i'm going to give credits to the original owner (Erka:es), as same i'm not going to claim this OST as mine. so it's totally legal .

But in case i find it buyable, i'm going to search about copyright. And if i can't use the OST, i,m going to erase the topic.

EDIT: i found something interesting...
http://www.rockmanpm.com/?p=music/rosenkreuzstilette
Rockman PM is an official page promoted too by capcom. If the OST is buyable, then at least Erka:es would shut down that page a long ago. but the page is intact, so i have another thing to prove that the soundtrack is FREE.

and i can personally attest that if capcom has a problem with something on MMnetwork, they WILL stop it. (had to retract an interview i did with them around the time of the Chiptuned Rock Man CD release)

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.
