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.

So I see that some of these says "only for small-scale" or pretty much "small" in the commercial game section. I'm just wondering but what exactly is "small" ? Like do you guys have some examples ? (sorry I just want know because I am creating a commercial game and I do not want to get in trouble). Thanks! :3

That's something you would have to discuss with each author really. I just translate what they wrote.

Would it be possible, please, for you to translate the TOS of this site? http://yms.main.jp/page1/rule.html

It might be that you have already done it, but google translate for the name of the artist didn't throw up anything helpful.

Thanks.

Thank you so much for this. Getting these translated is the only way I can feel confident about using the resources.

Thank you, both of you. :)

I'm looking for some "new" sites to translate at the moment. (Going through your lists, Granny :3 Btw, are all the links from your signature gone? I can't click any, except the upper one.)

So I just noticed POPODOT's gone. Their sister site run by T30 is still however online, so I'll be translating that one soon.

And Janai/"Not" is back, it seems :D Which means I can finally contact him about commercial usage. Woohoo!

Thanks for doing all of that! And for noticing my signature got messed up!

Good thing I back it up! I assume the work on the site messed with it? In any event it should be back in working order now.

@Deb: It's been like that for a while, but I thought it was on my end to be honest ^^; Good thing it's fixed :3

I've gone through all and contacted everyone I still had to contact about commercial usage and checked on those that I've contacted before. Unfortunately I haven't gotten any reply and I'm also unable to contact JUNKHUNT. They have a mailform on the site, but it does not accept any of my mail addresses, so I can't send anything :(

I've found this site a long time ago : http://mart.kitunebi.com/index.html

I Don't really understand the terms of usage using google translate.

i'm curious if i can use the music there outside of rpg maker...
slimmmeiske2

#177 Mar 6, 2015, 11:30 AM Source

Yes, you can. Most music sites allow their music to be used in any maker/engine/video.

I'll put up the detailed terms later.
