Translated Terms of Usage of Japanese blogs

slimmmeiske2 · 2014-05-30T22:27:42+0900

From time to time, topics show up asking if this Japanese site states that their resources can be used commercially, or they're looking for the author's name, so they can credit them properly. However, sometimes their terms are complex enough that google translate isn't able to do his job. That's why I figured it might be a good idea to translate their terms to English. In case you are looking for the terms of a site not mentioned here, feel free to comment and link the site. I will try and translate them as quickly as possible. If you want a speedy answer it's best to PM me. FAQQ: Is it possible you haven't translated [Z]? A: Yes. I've done over 100+ sites now, but I'm nowhere near done I'm afraid. ;.; Just comment here or PM me (in case you want a faster reply). Q: What are these spoilers in your translation posts? I can't read them! A: And you shouldn't have to They're the original terms copied over from the translated site/blog. This is proof in case the site/blog decides at a later date to change their terms or if they decide to close down/disappear forever. Q: I can't find the resources on the site./The first post says this site has [X], but I can only find [Y]. A: Feel free to PM me and I'll point them out for you~ Q: The terms mention I should credit them, but doesn't really state how... A: There's a number of ways you could go. The safest way would be to use the author's name, site's name and site's URL when crediting. However, there's nothing wrong by just crediting the site or author. It's really up to you in the end. Q: Does optional mean I shouldn't credit them? A: On the contrary, it just means that legally you're not required to do so. I find it common decency though, to give credit to these artists/scripters; you'll probably have some resources where you'll be required to credit anyway. Q: Could you check if has gotten back to you about commercial usage? A: Of course! Feel free to PM or comment in this thread. Since I use different methods for different sites, it's hard to keep up with it.

I found a lot of neat tiles for MV here https://comshou.wixsite.com/com-sho

I can't find the author's name, though or if it is even one person.

Does converting resources from one format from another considered as "editing"?

Mmm, I personally don't.
It sometimes happens that those who don't allow editing, do mention they allow changing the file format/size/name.

Oh, ok...
I was going to convert some Garden of Purgatory music and add loop labels to them.
Not sure if it would be allowed though. I tried contacting them, but they seem... dead.
