Do you have the artist's expressed permission to use that image as an avatar? Otherwise you are committing copyright infringement. So are all the scans people, including me, post. Just saying.

No but I personally took the screenshot and edited it. I get your point but we don’t allow linking to download the otherwise purchaseable soundtrack to the game, which was what this was about.

Hadn’t seen those actually.

Fan edits are a bit different fwiw. Loops and so forth. I’d personally leave those alone. Straight rips of the actual soundtrack are not. Slippery slope but it’s where I’m comfortable planting a flag on it.

They're all rips.

Not my site but it’s the way I’ve handled those for well over a decade. Ask @Mr. Wah what his opinion is. His site so I’ll defer to him

Personally, I'm kind of wondering what that implies for threads like the VG music thread. Pretty much every post in that thread is of music, that can be purchased elsewhere, illegally uploaded to Youtube, right?..

I was just clarifying that they're rips. Also, DOAO is available for download on this site. That's straight up piracy, isn't it?

That’s also a fair point. I’ll see what Mr. Wah has to say about it. I hadn’t ventured into that thread much.

Grape, that one I’m not sure about since the game isn’t available anymore. Isn’t it only playable on private servers now?

@Juihau uploads to YT are different tho. In that same vein couldn't video clips of videogames be illegal since like music that's copyright? I don't think that's illegal unless they provide you with torrent download links

That gets into Fair Use which I won’t touch lol. I did just post a quick update after discussing with the staff.

For those that didn't see CyberEvil's most recent post, and since I'm tagged in here I'll comment. No direct linking to otherwise legally purchasable new content downloads.

For example, the DOA5 OST is available on Amazon so we don't condone linking to rips of it. For older game soundtracks and manuals that aren't easily purchasable as new, we generally allow it as long as it isn't egregious. If we feel it's egregious we will let you know but you shouldn't have to worry about being penalized for that notification.

YouTube and other supported VOD services we allow for embedding, as it's up to that service to handle any copyright claim.

Alright. Thank you for clarifying.

It’s available on physical media on the US Amazon site. Amazon is having issues presently due to Prime Day.
