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.

Hi, @slimmmeiske2. Could you translate the terms of this site: http://mao.sub.jp/material_main.htm.

For Crescent Moon Arpeggio:

slimmmeiske2 said:
You are also allowed to franken the resources as long as you don't combine it with parts from other websites.
Does that mean I would be allowed to modify the character's facial expressions?

Updated the links on here, but since the site has English terms right now, I won't be updating those anymore.

@TakeHomeTheCup @hp4000 I'll get to your requests soon, sorry for the wait.

@TakeHomeTheCup Regarding Crescent Moon Arpeggio, yes you can modify the facial expressions, but you can't take part of a face by another artist/the RTP and use that on one of Crescent Moon's faces.

I think it's just about not changing the colors of the pictures.

We're heading into a busy time of the year, so no worries! Take as much time as you need! Thanks for all your great work over these past years! :)

Basically it states once again that you are not allowed to recolour their resources, as that goes against their terms.
I'll get to the other site later.

@hp4000 Thanks for understanding :)

Note: the following terms are only for these packs: Modern Generator, Sangokushi, Parallax resource pack, One Year Anniversary and 1 million memorials.
Note2: If you have the Steam version of MV these should have been added as DLC.

I can't recall if I asked, or not. I also found this site for music https://cyber-rainforce.net/2018/01/10/rule/ Do you think that you could translate their terms of use? Rather, or not they allow commercial use confuses me. Sorry if you have this one already. I didn't see it here. So i thought I might ask.

I thought you might want to add this one to your list, because it has some really cute battlers:

"It appeared from a swamp" http://kb147.web.fc2.com/index.html
I might be mistaken, but it looks like their username is Hello Hippo.

It looks like they allow both commercial and non-commercial usage.

This one has some good graphical resources, apparently for VX and Ace: http://xxwahrschicksalxx.web.fc2.com/top.html (I'm not sure about their commercial/noncommerical usage, though.)
