Re: Permissions List and Information v8

More music perms: Artist 'kanemiko' gives us limited perms! Just make sure we aren't utilizing lossless audio (so sticking with 192kpbs MP3 is fine)

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Can I use your song for my map?

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Permission info in C418's homepage. The page only mentions video services, but if it also applies to FFR then we can use non-Minecraft songs as well.

Songs by linear ring after October 20th, 2021 cannot be used. This doesn't mean everything before that is allowed. They mention that permissions already granted won't be taken away, but there probably isn't the list of such permissions, so consider this a full denial.

Also here's the updated list of permissions not in the main post:

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

I got ahold of Pitchshifter through their FB group and they gave permission for the "Sprint Finish" demo as well as the "None for All..." EP, as their other releases are owned by major labels.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

I compose chiptunes from time to time. If somebody ever wants to step one of them, you guys have blanket permission to do so.

Considering that they will allow music for streaming, did not disallow derivatives such-as games, rhythm, AMV's, etc., AND specifically say "you have to put in some creative work", means they are ok with said derivative.

These C418 permissions are OK.

Google translates that 2nd permission (the reject) as:

Quote:

(Notice) Hello, this is linear ring. In the future, songs that have been released or will be released after October 20, 2021 are prohibited from being used in rhythm games that allow users to customize their charts. Songs previously permitted may continue to be used.

So, stuff prior to the date can still be used. If that changes in the future, we will update permission to match, and songs already in-game will stay in-game until requested takedown via DMCA.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Also a generous reminder that if you happen to get permission from someone to use their work and post it in this thread, please link to some of the places where we can find their content.

Helps a lot for stepauthors trying to find their content. A couple links, like their Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or YouTube works well.

This is my updated soundcloud page:

I think the issue is that we don't know whether they were previously permitted. If there is a proof of explicit approval for those songs, that could work. enchanted love would be allowed from BOF (2020) permission for example.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Yep, you parsed that correctly. Just wanted to point out the author hinting that they've provided permission elsewhere that could also be adopted here, but it would need to be scouted first and find if it's a generalized permission or specific to a certain rhythm game.

Should clarify that this means limited. Only content with a buy link / on their Bandcamp is available. You cannot just grab an mp3 rip from YouTube and use that. Otherwise, nice permission get.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Wanted to try and clear up some stuff on Camellia permissions, as it seems to come up every so often and tends to be tricky to verify on the judge side.

Camellia's song use policy details which songs are available to use. I've copy-pasted the policy below as it was on the edit date of this post.

Code:

Song use

Guideline about use of my song



(Last update: Nov 11, 2020)



In all cases, use for purposes against the law, against public order and morals, religious use, political use, or use to hate, disparage or be offensive to myslef or a third party (including other possible ways) are not allowed.

In addition, I may not be able to allow permission or respond to any songs released even in my name for reasons such as not currently owning the rights of the song.



All use of the music is at your own risk. I'm not responsible for any damage, problems caused by your use of the music and will not be involved in any way.



(1) In the case of you are a corporation / a company

If you wish to use my song as a corporation / a company, no matter how you use it, please contact me and confirm at the following email address:

cametek[at]gmail.com



(1a) In the case of you are an educational institution or a volunteer organization / a company for volunteer

You can use my songs as well as individuals. If you can, it would be helpful if you could confirm once:

cametek[at]gmail.com

Please note that this is intended primarily, but not exclusively, for educational institutions related to music.



(2) In the case of you are an individual (not corporation / company) who want to use my music in a format that does not involve sending the music itself as a file (e.g., BGMs for stream, BGMs in video, etc.)

You are allowed to use the song without my certain permission if either of the followings. In this case, I don't give permission individually. Please understand that.:

- It is included in this playlist.

- It is included in album or E.P. that has serial code (it can be confirmed in the list of albums) beginning with "CTCD", but is not licensed from other organizations or companies

- Completely original music that has been uploaded to the YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/Kamelcamellia) that is not originally written for a game (including rhythm game), organization, or company (e.g., https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Q-ow8-BipA, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjQmZBvi3WE)

Particularly, for YouTube or Twitch (etc), if you want to use the song as a background music for videos or stream, it does not matter if it is monetized or not. However, please note that it may be registered in Content ID in YouTube.

If the song you want to use is a remix, the original song may have been come from other sources, or it may be an unofficial remix that has not been licensed by the original author. In such cases, I will not be able to give my permission.



Please credit me if possible.



List of albums: https://cametek.jp/release.html

List of permitted songs (Last updated Nov 11, 2020, may not include new songs):https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaN19gIKi5ZrjNT-KAuFeB82fmykcF8bK

(Thanks to woops who brought the original stream playable playlist)



(3) Individuals who wish to use the music itself as a file that is downloadable, extractable, or users can easily get the song data itself

Conditions vary depending on the method of use.



(3a) If you want to distribute it as an unofficial custom map / chart for a rhythm game (Osu!, Geometry Dash, A Dance of Fire and Ice, Beat Saber, etc.)

You can use the music without permission under the same conditions as (2) above.

In this case, no charts / maps can be sold for a fee (free distribution only), except following:

- Mapping / making a chart or playing it in a monetized stream or video

- Distributing a chart or play data / recorded video on the site which has ads

In any case, I have no permission or involvement other than the use of my music.



(3b) If you want to distribute the music as an official chart / official music for a rhythm game (in short, if you're a game developer)

(3c) If you want to use a song as a bgm that is included in a program / a game or its directory

Please contact me at the following email address:

cametek[at]gmail.com



(4) If you want to remix/arrange my song and release it

In principle, basically I don't give official permission to release remix / arrangement, but it is possible to release it under the same conditions as (2).

It includes cover (with your instruments, voice, singing etc.) and recreation / transcription for "good purpose", including joke, meme, education, practice, etc.

In that case, please limit your release to platforms such as YouTube, SoundCloud, Nico Nico Douga, Twitter, bilibili etc.

Free download of audio data such as mp3, wav, aiff, flac etc., of the remix is also available.

For Bandcamp, you can use the same conditions as above only if the price is set to 0 (and Name your price).

If you would like to sell the remix / arrangement or provide them to stream services such as iTunes, Apple Music, Spotify, etc., or sell recorded media such as CDs, vinyls or any kind of physical copies, please contact me at the following email address:

cametek[at]gmail.com



(5) Other uses

Please contact us at the following email address:

cametek[at]gmail.com

In short, all songs from an album with the "CTCD" code are good to use.
-We can't really know which songs have been licensed from other companies or games so the working assumption is that all music from CTCD albums is ok.

There may be some other songs Camellia releases on their YouTube which are not used or licensed in another game that may be good to use. In general they might be found on this playlist. This may not be the most current or complete such list.

A free download link is not proof of permission.

Finally, as a reminder of the submission rules, you must provide proof of permission for every submission.
-For CTCD songs, you can provide an album code or name. (Judges might use this sheet I made to verify such permission)
-For any other song, you must provide a direct link to Camellia officially granting permission. If it's on the above linked playlist, link the playlist.

If neither of the above cases applies, FFR does not have permission to use that song.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Surprised no one tapped into Give Heart Records permissions yet. I kinda thought we'd have a lot of anime options on the table for this upcoming OT.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Posting here so that it can be tracked: we already have blanket permission from Sakuzyo, orangentle, and the Flashbulb (not just the alphabasic label), despite what the v8 post and FFR Wiki says. Confirmed by gold stinger and bmah.

brb stepping a Sakuzyo song real quick and replacing it with one of my OT submissions

Re: Permissions List and Information v8

Not sure if this is the right way to do this but I want to grant permission for my music project. I did in the past (idk 15 years ago?) but I don't see it on the list. This can include any of my past releases and any private unreleased tracks I post in the Audio and Music Production forum in the future.

The music project is Icarus Moth which can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7qfc...QdWmqHBaNPmMjw

With some additional tracks that aren't distributed found here: https://soundcloud.com/icarusmoth

FFR is a huge reason why I pursued music full time, even if no one ever touches these tracks I have to show my appreciation <3

Let me know if I need to submit permission via other means than forum post

Shoutout Deamerai for helping me get my acc back.
