Like I said, CP doesn't need audiogames.net anymore because it has its own fanbase (English Skype group with over 200 participants and many other non-English communities) so this is kinda like a radio station saying that they won't play a particular song anymore if the artist doesn't change its message, which would change the whole song and probably isn't worth it considering streaming services outweigh radio these days anyways.

then, i'm 100% sure that manamon has some coppy writed songs, making it paid wont proof anything, if you're gunna think of CP than put manamon in mind

no, it is not a slap, because that escence was made intentionally, pragma is a mario party fan. it is part of the game's escence since it's creation, because it was meant to be like that

Meatbag, you have still not proven your stance. If Aaron Baker was using copyrighted material illegally then simply charging money for the game is a crime and you are accusing him of doing so.

i'm not aquzeing anyone, I sed to keap manamon in mind, not remove it, and eavin if I sed is true I cant proof my self since I dont know about the song names, and how is making a game paid a crime? that does'nt make sense...

I could keep talking about that, but I feel that my english skills are not enough to express what I want to say properly now, and were going nowhere, so lets, again, come back to the post's original topic, whitch at this moment, if I'm understanding correctly, is that people decided to do the sound work anyway

This is true. Whether the work is stopped or continued, I feel this topic has given the community a lot to think about.

Carter has already come in here saying that it might be worthwhile to consider reporting CP to Nintendo. This, again, does not mean any decision is being made, so don't take it as such, but I am not the only one who cares about this. I just happen to be the loudest.

But you have yourself to thank for this, not me. You toss this game in our faces every time any other copyright issue comes up. You and others, of course; you aren't alone. So in the interest of minimizing hypocrisy, it makes sense that something has to be done. Because if we do something, we're horrible for removing CP or threatening it or whatever. And if we don't, then we're horrible hypocrites who are using personal bias to make decisions. It's lose-lose. Isn't that fun?

oh yeah what about Jim Kitchen, ? all of the peaple who playd it agree's with me, its filld with coppy writed sounds, and also youtubers when play/stream it try's there best to make it play as les music as pocible

Back for two more things then I'll fly out for good. Liam's forum needs some love anyways:

1. There are 761 games in the AG data base as of now (counting the web based games along with audio games.)

2. If you're gonna go after Crazy Party, go after Mush-Z for Alter Aeon as well.
Yall know there's Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy Music in there right?
Not even sure why yall even have a DB entry for it now that I think of it...

I would love to read what the devs of the major AG companies would say if they saw this "craziness" (pun intended.)

Okay, off I go again... Good luck!

Well then, this is a nice mess we have all found Ourselves in.

You know how sometimes we pounce on a particular breach of copyright right away, while others slide under the radar for awhile? This goes for games and copyrighted assets, VM stuff, audio description, etc. If we see it, we do something about it, but we are not making an active effort to comb through absolutely everything to retroactively update it.

That's what has been happening, and will continue to happen.

If you want to alert us to known issues of pirated assets, you are forcing those examples into the spotlight. In other words, you are 1. making our lives harder (which is fine, by the way) and 2. also alerting us to potential copyright and piracy-related transgressions.

Basically, for every game or asset that's gone unexamined before now that you bring to us, you will be partially responsible when and if we have to stop supporting it. You'll try and blame it on us, but the reality is that if you hadn't gone and dug it up, we might not have bothered processing it. Take Jim Kitchen's stuff, for example; the man has died, and there is no way that he can update his own work, so there is no chance of him being in any way able to comply with a request to update his audio assets.

Nidza07, you want to make us look like horrible people for processing hundreds of audio games or whatnot, but if you do what you say you're going to, then it will be you who shares equal responsibility. After all, the forum has historically taken a "don't ask, don't tell" stance on such things, particularly in free titles. If you don't tell us about it, or it isn't super obvious, then we probably don't care yet, and if bad stuff ends up happening (as truly unlikely as that is, I admit) there is plausible deniability. We did not know that resource x had copyrighted assets in it because nobody told us and it is beyond the scope of a small handful of people to process every single game in such a huge database.

I'm going to say this with no bark on it, so to speak.

If someone reading this legitimately wants to help us clean up copyright issues, that's cool. It's a huge task, it's not something I enjoy doing, but if we want to maintain rule 3, it's something we can't just indefinitely ignore.

However, in your case, Nidza07, as well as at least one other person I could name but for now will not, you're clearly not doing this because you want to help the community. You're basically saying that if a game you like gets trashed, then other games should get trashed as well. Not because you actually believe it should happen, but because you can't stand that your game of choice contains literally hundreds of pirated assets and stands so clearly in the spotlight. It's not good will, it's vengeance. And vengeance is no way to try and assist a community. I know a temper tantrum when I see it, bro, and this "I'm going to report everything, see how you like that" definitely counts, because you don't agree with copyright and you don't agree with our support of rule 3.
Again, you're trying to bluff. I just want it out here, understood loud and clear, that if you start this process, you're partially responsible for it. If you force us to escalate, then no one is going to pass the buck and blame us.

Because the alternative is a free-for-all where copyright is just a suggestion, and owner rights really don't matter unless someone arbitrarily decides they matter. And no, we are not going back to that.

So if you want to up the ante, go ahead. But I, for one, won't feel a need to take all the blame for what happens as a result, because every new thing you force us to deal with, instead of letting us stumble onto it on our own, is one more thing the community may lose, in part because of a dev who used copyrighted assets and in part because of you, who couldn't leave an admittedly imperfect system alone and had to try and play for all or nothing.

A quick edit, because I just thought of this: even if someone tried to report Jim Kitchen's games, I doubt that would go anywhere. They're just sort of floating around, and the creator is dead. Even if a company got hold of this and didn't like what he did, they're going to have a really difficult time prosecuting a dead man, and knowing this, I don't see them wanting to bother. CP and KitchensInc are in totally different ballparks. And no, that doesn't make using copyrighted sounds okay, but it also doesn't mean they're totally equal either.
