Post by: Zantetsuken on September 26, 2012, 08:22:47 pm
Amazing work, as always! Also, big ups to Garuda for shelling out his hard-earned money for this great contribution! :D

So let me see if I've got this right. Garuda pays to have these sprites made and then it is uploaded so everyone can get them?

That doesn't seem very fair to the guy who paid if thats the case.

That's a commission.

Then Garuda wanted to share them with all. What's wrong with it? It was his decision.

It's exactly has you said: I paid for the sprites to be free for everyone.

And I hope to see 100 different kind of Gouken made for Mugen.

What's the meaning to have the sprites and keep them all for me?
This is a community: we have to share if we want to grow!

If your happy to pay all that money out then I suppose it's your decision.

I thought it was against the rules to make stuff for profit though in Mugen.

Infringes copyright.

No it's not against the rules. It's just we prefer it's not done with copyrighted stuff. Preference, not rule.

Also, these are right now, just sprites.

Quite nice sprites and i hope someone does something with them. Something GOOD please.
Title: Re: Understand, understand, the concept of fanart (and bad grammar)
Post by: Zantetsuken on September 27, 2012, 10:39:57 am
Gouken is copyrighted by Capcom.

The way I see it a bunch of sprites of Gouken were made and sold.

Gouken belongs to Capcom hence copyright infringement.

I read a while back that Capcom agreed that Mugen works could be distributed as fanart as long as no money changed hands. The second money changes they are infringing on copyright laws breaking rules and potentially the law.

If thats true why dont you complain that too all the Artist's who does commissions of just illustration work by selling of copy righted characters on a piece of paper im sure no one making a fuss about em?
 who cares someone paid to get these done cause honestly i dont hear anyone complain about it. this conversation should been dropped when Garuda told u it was okay  for anyone to use these sprites
fan art can be anything from=PIXEL art,Music,Illustration or even more..

not even a big deal at all.

Title: Re: Understand, understand, the concept of fanart (and bad grammar)
Post by: Zantetsuken on September 27, 2012, 10:56:31 am
I'm just going by what Capcom's official stance was on this.

Because this was often a point of discussion, I emailed Capcom and SNK Playmore early in 2007 for what their take on the legality of fan-made, non-profit games (like M.U.G.E.N) was with respect to their intellectual properties.  Initially, SNKP said that any use of IPs without written consent was prohibited--regardless of whether someone would profit or not from it.  I announced this reply to the community and SNKP was treated to a flurry of responses from angered Mugenites.  SNKP gave "permission" to the M.U.G.E.N community to let chaos reign to release derivative works to the public with the stipulation that no profit will be generated.  Capcom's response was kind of generic and just reused their response they give for fanart.

Despite the fact that we loosely have "permission" to release non-profit, copyright derivative works from these companies, as a community, we don't care about the tired discussion about how M.U.G.E.N is violating copyrights and such.  In any case, we honor the companies' request to keep copyright derivate works free of charge in M.U.G.E.N.  This includes disallowing certain links in the forum that violates this and facilitating the shutdown of eBay auctions selling M.U.G.E.N games.

That pretty much clears it up.

That only applies if it's a full game or digital code.  These are sprites, which are around the same area as fan artwork, which Capcom acknowledges and even puts in official games.  Should be alright.

If money wasn't changing hands it would be fine but money is changing hands so copyright is infringed according to that post copied from this very site.

Which is only well and done if you are distributing it freely. Your charging which infringes copyright.

If you contact Capcom and ask them they'll tell you to stop charging as your making money from their property which you'll find is illegal.

Post by: Just No Point on September 27, 2012, 01:16:57 pm
Cash was exchanged for the time it took to make the sprites. Not for "Gouken". You can ask for anything to be commissioned. I can ask for Fenny Baker from my comic to be made and it'd cost me $100. She's original. When I went to conventions I charged $5 to draw a picture. Sometimes the pictures were of copyrighted works. Again, I was merely charging people for the time it took to draw. I didn't charge because someone wanted a picture of Naruto. Tattoos are the same way. Original work or copyrighted you are paying for the work to be done. If he charged everyone for each instance they wanted to download the sprites then that'd be making profit from Gouken. But that's not what's happening.

So yes you are breaking the law.

Also, we will not object to such use as long as it is not obscene, defamatory, libelous, offensive or slanderous towards Capcom, our products, or employees, or any third party and does not violate any intellectual property right or a person's right of publicity or privacy. This policy is in no way meant to be interpreted as creating an agreement or grant of license from Capcom to you. We reserve the right to withdraw our permission should this prove necessary.

God, he's not selling this to everybody, like selling T-Shirts. Garuda pay for CvS Abstract to do something for him. He's paying for the job. The sprites themselves are free. Anybody can grab them now, and CvS Abstract won't get money for them.

We talked about this in another thread. I don't know if it was you or another person. But knowing you, it's easy to understand you'll never get it. And if you hate this place so much, as I can see in your comments, why stay here?

Don't hate the place.

I just don't want the guy getting shot in the ass for copyright infringement.

Do you want me to ask someone else. I think the email from Capcom clearly states that he shouldn't be taking money for using their work.

You don't want the guy to be shot in the ass? Like you really care!!!

Leave the problems to us, me and CvS, if problem will ever show up. But I bet your next, silly move will be emailg some Capcom guy pointing him to this tread...

Did you read Iced post? If so did you understand it? If not I think Iced will gladly explain it in a simpler way, like "an idiot guide to..."

but the sprite arent Profitable at all, these aint a school project or something im selling,
That like people selling ps3 on ebay and gettin money for selling a ps3 console to a buyer... u dont hear people complaining about copy righted things or even pay people putting capcom games on ebay n selling it to the buyer's


Its like im selling my pixel skills to get money, But im not making millions off of it. so what the deal

its clearly say if u selling their profits,But no one doing that. That like garuda asking me to Draw a gouken on  T shirt as a commission n he will pay me for it. it not a business of me making millions off of their copy righted work.

How many time have capcom broken laws with these wack as DLC in sfxtk with model of characters already build in the disc?

What aint fair for the simple fact capcom is hungry greedy company who can give a rat ass what the people want.

look how a fail sfxtk was?

No it's not alterations of the rules. Explain why he can't be paid for the work he does? If it's Fenny or Gouken it doesn't matter. He's still doing the work.

Artists do this ALL THE TIME. You can even be paid commission to make a spiderman comic and put it on the net for free. That's how commissions have always worked long before they became a thing in MUGEN

You'd find out that after asking everyone on here about the breaking the rules and asking Capcom myself you'll find out I was right all along?

Only 1 way to find out I suppose.

Please don't forget to tell Capcom I have also paid for Haggar to be sprites!

I'm going from what I read in the Mugen rules 5 years ago, what I reread a couple of months ago.

There's the hole in your logic. It ISN'T Capcom's work. The keyword here is, work. Cvs was the one who did the work, and he was paid for his work.

Seriously, do you think Capcom is going to reward you or something? Because if you have nothing to gain, your fight is pointless. And don't give me any "moral high ground" crap.

Zantetsuken, are you so FUCKING STUPID you can't understand the STRAIGHT ANSWERS people are giving to you !?

The sprites were never sold. Garuda paid CVSNB as a commission for making fanart. The sprites are free to use.
You know absolutely nothing of fanart and what it is to be an artist in general. Go on Deviantart and look at all the commissions that are done there. If you like an artist, you go ask him to draw Goku from Dragon Ball VS Luffy from One Piece, you give him 10$, he makes the art and puts it on Deviantart. There's no problem with this. There is no "copyright infringement". This is what's been done for years now. Artists are just asking for some money for the time they spend, it's not making money on the back of the copyright owner.

I can't believe you're being serious with all your questions and denial of getting an answer, when everybody is telling you the same fucking thing.

Zan, CVSNB is doing an art commissions for the sake of earning a few extra bucks. NOT TOO HARD to do. Just because they're capcom characters does not mean CVSNB is being a bootlegging sneak about it. Its an ART COMMISSION. a Simple form of Pixel art, IN short: FANART.
Comic artists at DeviantArt do this ALL THE TIME.

Well, I had to split this off from the actual sprite release topic because of idiocy.

@Zantetsuken: do not post in the Gouken sprite thread again. You're already on thin ice.

Also, your question was answered multiple times. You've been getting insulted too BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LISTENING. But I'll try explaining this to you without any insults.

Gouken's sprites are a kind of commission, which fans and artists have been doing regardless of medium, fandom, or what have you. Go to any comic convention with artists and you can pay them to sketch any character you want. You can go on DeviantArt and commision an artist to do the same thing. And there are countless other sites and places and even mediums artists can work in when doing commissions.

And nobody, outside of a few overzealous people (like Tim Buckley of Ctrl+Alt+Del but who cares about that guy he sucks), really cares about it. Fan art commissions generally are protected under Fair Use but not always. But in this case, it would be.

So yeah, nothing bad is going on, calm down and stop being dumb.

You know absolutely nothing of fanart and what it is to be an artist in general. Go on Deviantart and look at all the commissions that are done there. If you like an artist, you go ask him to draw Goku from Dragon Ball VS Luffy from One Piece, you give him 10$, he makes the art and puts it on Deviantart. There's no problem with this. There is no "copyright infringement". This is what's been done for years now. Artists are just asking for some money for the time they spend, it's not making money on the back of the copyright owner.

Because it seems you turn blind sometimes, every time you make a statement that shows you don't get it I will quote Cybaster post which is better than mine but still explains the same. That way perhaps you will start to understand what we're saying. Perhaps...

Again, claiming that Capcom is stealing ideas is an absolutely terrible argument to make, even if you know you are off-topic. You really need to not say that again. It gives fuel to people who want to throw shit like Zantetsuken is doing. It's also wrong and the legal equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot.

Capcom doesn't steal ideas, because that's illegal. Sure, they've based characters on other companies' characters, but they make them different enough to avoid legal problems. And that situation is completely unrelated to the fan art thing!

No one is charging for Gouken. Cvsnb was charging for his time and effort spent spriting. He just happened to be spriting a character Capcom owns. That's it.

You're right, it appears you're talking a different language than us. Look, this is really simple. What Garuda payed was CvsAbstract for creating something he wanted. What he's paying for is for the job. The results of that job, as long as they're free or kept private, shouldn't go against any copyright infrigement. Because this is considered to be fanart. If Garuda tried to sell those sprites, then you would perhaps have a reason to do that (but I highly doubt Capcom would care about this too). But that's not what's happening.

God, if you're complaining about this, then you may as well just take down Deviantart, because that's how it works too for commissions done there.

Garuda you don't need to worry about Capcom suing anyone. Not only is it a huge waste of their time and money, they don't really have any legal basis to do so.

Zantetsuken is just being a dumbass who changed his argument after everyone yelled at him to stop being dumb when he first posted. Remember? He originally didn't give a shit about poor, innocent Capcom; instead, he thought that the sprites being released was unfair to whoever paid for them. It was only after he was humiliated that he rephrased his argument.

That's fair enough. The only problem I have is when I see money charged for fanart, sprites etc when I clearly see that companies such as Capcom, SNK etc say that this work can only be legally distributed free of charge because said companies still own them.

Then I read a lot of bullshit being flung around that money only changes hands due to the time spent on the work and not the actual work itself.

Sounds to me like people blatantly ignore the rules on these things and then spend pages and pages trying to justify themselves while throwing in a handful of empty insults.

I haven't flamed anyone, just read the rules and pointed out the few that people have forgotten about or choose to ignore because it benefits their wallets.

this guy zantetsuken (who i thought was perma-banned) used to complain about the mugen community being dead and how everyone was so mean to each other or something like that.

NOW he is complaining that a pair of people are investing time, effort and money (not so sure about that last one anymore) to not only sprite a character not available in pixel art (gouki edits don't count) but to also freely distribute it among the entire community so everyone can make their own version of it

this guy must really hate fun

Sup Zantetsuken?

Do you've a problem with Garuda commissioning CvS for Gouken?
I have no problem with the commission just charging for the commission.
Well, CvS did the work... Are you suggesting Garuda pay Capcom...?
Is that what you're imposing?

Capcom owns Gouken, Capcom can charge for Gouken.
CVS owns his spritework, sooo it makes sense for him to charge for his sprites, correct...?

Nobody else can because Capcom owns the copyright.
Actually...
There are PLENTY of commissioned fan works out there that didn't pay Capcom for recreating/using their characters.
IIRC, Capcom and many other gaming companies even said it's Ok to use THEIR sprites for Mugen. 
IIRC, It was viewed as Fanart.

If it's Ok to use Capcom's sprites freely, then I'm sure it's Ok for Garuda to commision CVS to create "fanart" for mugen.

Just No Point answered this directly to you TWICE. Plain and clear. Garuda didn't pay for Gouken's sprites. He paid for CVS Abstract's time and effort. It really doesn't matter what Abstract sprited. Whether it was a Capcom char, SNKP, Akira, Namco, original, etc. He's being paid for his talent and ability to make the sprites, along with time put in to make them. That's it. You seem to want attention or something. Along with some form of jealously and envy going on. Whatever the case may be, it's really sad that you lack basic comprehension.... You should eat more fish. I hear it increases brain functionality.

No, he paid him 0.001$ per mouse click. Each click produced a pixel of a certain colour on Paint, which happened to look like Gouken in the end.
In the end, Garuda just paid for the time CVSNB spent clicking to make pixels on a blank file. :haw:

Ok, at this point I have to tell everybody the truth:

I didn't pay CvS for Gouken.

It was all set up so people would follow my example and commission him some art/sprites.

Now please stop this nonsense: since no money is involved there isn't problem, right Zan?

;)

Obvious trolling.


The real truth is: CvS paid me to ask him tomake Gouken.

I read in the rules that it is against Mugen rules to do things for money due to property such as Gouken belonging to Capcom.

While I myself am a bit uncomfortable talking about the idea of comissions, let us assume that Zan is right and we are infringing on Capcom's IP by having comissions. He's already emailed Capcom, who could then decide to sue. Or better yet, if its widespread enough, Capcom could revoke their previous stance on MUGEN and completely disallow it altogether. Zan will have single-handedly fucked over the entire MUGEN community for his short-sightedness, only this time it won't be like that one April Fools prank we did.

Granted thats only the worst case scenario, but it's a foolish move on Zan's part if seriously did not take that possibility into consideration. Unless he did and was hoping for that outcome for some stupid reason.

Yeah, when the first emails were sent to Capcom and SNK, SNK started to say no (because the guy responding didn't know what Mugen was apparently) and something went, eh, "wrong". They backtracked after that :P

The only thing I could see Capcom doing is pulling a Nintendo or Square Enix and pulling an already made and playable Gouken off the net because it takes away from their sales or whatever reasons Nintendo gave for the Zelda game. Even then it'd be more likely only for a full game and Capcom doesn't have a track record of that anyway.


None the less that would still NOT have anything to do with this commission. The sprites could still be free to use and more commissions could still be made.

Hey fuckass.

Learn the word comission and learn the word Fanart.
Then stop bothering people, Unlike others im directly assuming you are trolling people since I dont believe you are retarded

If original sprite artists want to be comissioned now and then to make things thats up to them, I and everyone here have zero issues with any of it unless anyone is charging for mugen characters to be sold.
You crying around serves nothing in forwarding the community and I am not amused at you making people try to explain to you what should be obvious to anyone.

- the tech support guy likely decided he didn't know enough about the situation, and maybe even about the legal implications, so he redirected the info to the legal dept
- if they can't see what it is at a glance, at most the legal dept will ask CvStA what's going on and tell him to stop selling sprites
- if CvStA just tells them the sprites are not being sold, they're free and fanart, that he was just paid for the commission, this will be dropped faster than [insert random funny comparison]

I was going to bring up the possibility of it being a hoax, but I wasn't sure if you were talking about OoT2D or something else. The only other fan-related Zelda thing that actually was shut down by Nintendo was that fan-film a year or two back (iirc, it had something to do with them gaining too much popularity or showing it at public screenings or something to that extent).

As far as squareenix goes, I dont recall anything FF related being taken down, unless you're thinking of Chrono Trigger in which case, as Byakko said, they did shut down Chrono Ressurection, as well as Crimson Echoes (a ROM hack of CT).

- if CvStA just tells them the sprites are not being sold, they're free and fanart, that he was just paid for the commission, this will be dropped faster than [insert random funny comparison]
In this regards, I hope CVS can write properly enough to Capcom if this were to occur. His English tends to be "not terribly fantastic".

:cawg: So much awesome in this post. Just too much, Cy!
But... I just hacked his account, that's really the mail he sent. :ninja:

The email JNP quoted looks amazingly fake BTW.
I was thinking that as well.

Jin is being made now. Does he contact Capcom because the sprites are being traced from Capcom's game? Or does he contact Namco? This is a lot of work. I think he needs a team to help him.

Does he not find it strange that not ONE single person is agreeing with him? At least in the days of "You're stealing sprites from Capcom so we can steal your sprites" it made sense. Other people could relate. The closest I found was searching for the Zelda project and someone said the project should be shut down cause they were asking for donations. People explained it to him and.... WOW he got it and apologized!

Your really not doing yourself any favours their. If I wasn't insulted then I'd never have asked Capcom's stance on people selling their property.
Awww... They hurt you feelings. :'(

I hope, for your sake, that email isn't fake...

I'm not really one for saying stuff like this, but this guy seriously needs to be banned from here and all MUGEN sites. IDK what a troll/trolling means, but w/e the case may be, he's basically attacking the MUGEN community and progression of MUGEN as a whole. If he did contact Capcom, he's giving them false implications. What seems to be out of pure spite and envy. That I can not condone, his ignorance, if he is in fact ignorant to begin with. There should be no more discussion with this guy. I understand and respect the staff's lenience, but enough is enough.

Like I said.

I asked on here if it was fair for Garuda to pay for them sprites when they were free for everyone else. Then I realised the content shouldn't have been charged for anyway as Gouken is owned by Capcom to which I never received a straight answer for and after been insulted I searched for a contact for Capcom to ask them.

As you guys were adamant that no rules or copyright laws had been broken I assumed you'd be fine with me asking then you turned it into this shitfest.

If nothing comes of it then why worry?

You wasn't insulted until you refused to acknowledge what was said to you though. I clearly answered you without any insulting. After you kept going on with it people started to insult you. Unless you think it's an insult to not have the same mentality and rationale you have.

This passive aggressive approach isn't fooling anyone. You were given a proper explanation with no insults.

None of this would have ever happened had you not carried on with your disillusion of what has taken place with the comission of Gouken's sprites. You really need to be banned, end of story.

I think the correct one is that you can own a ROM if said ROM was made from the legal copy you have, and as long as it's not released to the public. Not sure about that, though.

Depends on country. If said ROM was obtained directly from the legal copy (and not from the internet) then yes, it can be legal.

Also, iirc, downloading a ROM/music in sweden isn't illegal but distributing it is (unless I'm mixing up my countries). Compare that to what the US does.

Not according to the instruction manuals from Nintendo anymore :P

Though that doesn't mean they are right legally

Nintendo's always been big on antipiracy. They're actually right, at least in the US. Google "Atari v. JS&A" for more info.

At the rate I'm going, along with RE6 droppin' on Tuesday, and Halo 4 droppin' in November... Sagat may not even make it out this year lol. I won't even try to get anyone's hopes up and say Gouken would come anytime soon. Though, an already compiled SFF would definitely push production up. That's why I said I'll wait for Sean to whip it up, since he's going to put Gouken in CvW. It won't be anytime soon, sorry TrueMicah... And it won't be after Sagat, sorry CAN. It's a good chance it could happen sometime next year though. Gonna have my hands full juggling between coding and playing RE6/Halo 4. Just gotta remember to do a little something everyday on my chars. Eventually, they'll make their way into a MUGEN near you. ;) IDK who's gonna be after Sagat honestly...

I doubt Sean will be done with Skullo by the time I'm finish Sagat.... But, he might! He's been making some great progress and developed a rythym for Skullo's patterns and all. I gotta contact Dampir and Froz soon about my secret project....:ninja: Along with seeing how things are going with Felo_Llop's C. Viper.

I've always considered Nintendo vs Tengen to be more prolific (having to do with the Tetris license and all)

Atari v JS&A:

Quote
JS&A manufactured a "game backup" device that allowed users to dump their Atari ROMs onto a blank cartridge. JS&A argued that the archival rule allowed for this. The court disagreed, noting that ROM media was not subject to the same volatility as magnetic media (for which the law was created). Thus, not being so relatively vulnerable, ROMs were not applicable under section 17 USC 117(a)(2).

Brought it up since it addressed the legality of backing up legal copies for archival or other purposes, and the US courts said no, which more or less reflects Nintendo's stance.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

I have contacted the legal department and they will contact the person responsible for those sprites.

Regards,

Carlos

HoF because:
-derailing the thread for something that everyone is able to understand, yet he refused to;
-derailing during derailing.

Yes, that's possible.

Oh well, this reminds me of SeanAltly vs Sky87 (whatever his number his, I don't care).

The tread at MI is still there? Because I get a 404.

If you look closely at the link posted earlier, you'll see Iced edited the link to say MFG lawyers got to it (hence the 404). From which you can guess it's not an excellent idea to repost it.

I didn't notice it. I'm probably not going to bother taking my post down until the link goes down again. Thanks for the explanation, though.

Hey, how about he go join Peter Foster's Anti-Mugen Guild? LOL he must be lonely over there after all.

i personally think he needs to be banned from everything everywhere. He will try to report anyone to the original creators god help Deviant art if he joins there .

also I hear Navana joined over there :P.

Post by: Xan on September 29, 2012, 12:01:54 am
He'd probably be the only person fit for it aside from poor Peter at this point. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I dunno, Navana did a huge ass apology saying sorry to various members/admins

I wouldn't say he's anything like Peter tier though.

Guys this is done. He's banned, we don't need to talk about him further. Just forget about him.

Well, da maverik threatened to report him for child porn, I think the topic is still alive.

Maverik did what? I'm sorry, take a couple steps back there, [E]. What are you talking about?
Title: Re: Understand, understand, the concept of fanart (and bad grammar)
Post by: Bastard Mami on September 29, 2012, 12:19:51 am
See the mi topic, someone bad mouthed maverik in there, but instead of getting angry, maverik checked what had happened with zantsomething and got mad at him instead.
Title: Re: Understand, understand, the concept of fanart (and bad grammar)

Even Maverik hates this guy? Man, he's good at riling people up.

That's Cybaster. MAVERIK is JACK_THE_SHITTER, because he's obsessed with feces.

also he said this
Zantetsuken said:
I didn't threaten anything. It has been explained that what he was doing was legit. The only way I was threatening you is if it wasn't.
so I guess he's finally accepted what we've spent 10 pages trying to convince him. Too bad it's too late for him.

EDIT: or maybe he's not, I dunno it's hard to understand him

I thought he was threatening to report "nonexistent" child porn?

Who knows what exists or doesn't exist. He may be misunformed. The spoon is not real. Or maybe it is.

Stop posting here.

I personally didn't find this funny at all and doubt i'd find it funny later down the line when you consider the ramifications of what he has potentially done. I would lock it, but people don't like that (go fucking figure) and people don't like things getting trashed either.

So lets see some restraint and you can ALL let this topic just die huh?

MB.

I think people took the OP with too much seriousness, like the OP took the fanart work too seriously.
