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.

Hey, so I've been searching that wiki up and down for actual terms, but as far as I can see there aren't any. Also, since anyone can add to it, there's a lot of resources by different artists on it (just take a quick look at the faces and you'll notice the very different styles). I would advise against using any of these resources, unless you can find them somewhere else with actual credits (and terms).

Are these resources allowed in commercial games?
Yes and also no. (T/N: The terms state that the resources can be used in paid products or products you pay a fee for, but the terms also state you can’t use it in “商業作品”, which is usually translated as commercial products. To me this sounds like they’re trying to say that small-time devs/doujins can use it, but businesses cannot. I’ll try and ask for a clarification, but their site hasn’t been active in a few years, so I highly doubt I’ll get a response.)

Slim I have some scripts on my harddrive that have no terms, and the site is dead. Using wayback machine I recovered this:

◆他サイト様の改変素材は改変元の規約にも従うこと
◆他の場所に上げたものは、そこに書いたことを守っていただければ使用可
◆二次配布禁止（SSへの使用は可）
◆加工はお好きなように
◆加工後の配布も禁止

◆スクリプト素材について(素材ページの規約と一緒ですが一応)

Does this mean commercial = yes or no?

@slimmmeiske2
I found this site called "White Screw Shop" that seems to have material for both Wolf RPG Editor and RPG Maker 2003 (I'm interested in the material for RM2K3). I'm wondering if the terms of use can be translated.

http://hi79.web.fc2.com/material/frame-material.html

Furthermore, since this is material for RM2K3 it would be helpful if anyone knew if there's any rips mixed into all the material or not? I *think* "White Screw Shop" is legit (they're selling material on both BOOTH and DLsite, but who knows... (I'd like to know though).

Here is a link to the webside:
https://circleofnine.amebaownd.com/pages/2170169/page_201808092043

I can't figure out if it's okay for commercial use without Gacha, if commercial use is prohibited in generel, or if I have to ask for permission.

Also sorry if you already did this webside; I could'nt find it though.

Hey all, sorry for the long wait for those last translations. I'm currently trying to play catchup with something else, but when that's done I'll work through the list here.

@coucassi You're not allowed to use these commercially if you're a company, nor in gacha games. You also first need permission from the author if you want to use these in a commercial game.
I hope that clears up your question. :)
