"I'm still alive" "He says he's still alive" "Well, he's dying!"

it's kinda weird this site still exists right?

Not that it exists. But that it is still... moderately active.

One of my delisted YT videos (Live A Live OST) was posted on a porn site lmao.

The more pertinent question is how did you find it? Do you often peruse porn sites for their OST collections?

I ended my relationship with Discord over the summer because of the username changes; I want to give them another chance at the end of the month, but is Nitro still worth it?

No. Nitro has never been worth it?

Current mood: Just ate a pinecone

I use qs insteqd of qs

Summer Movie Wager is just a battle for 2nd place any given year imho

Too bad you're never part of that battle.

Pokemon just revealed the SV DLC OST and it consists entirely of stolen fan-music from YouTube. How is this legal? And the musitians can't even fight it in court because they're poor hobbyists fighting a billion dollar corporation.

Well the wording on the legal page says
Distribution in any form and any channels now known or in the future of derivative works based on the copyrighted property trademarks, service marks, trade names and other proprietary property (Fan Art) of The Pokémon Company International, Inc., its affiliates and licensors (Pokémon) constitutes a royalty-free, non-exclusive, irrevocable, transferable, sub-licensable, worldwide license from the Fan Art's creator to Pokémon to use, transmit, copy, modify, and display Fan Art (and its derivatives) for any purpose.
so what they are actually saying is that anyone creating fan art grants the pokemon company a license to use their (copyrighted) stuff for any purpose. They aren't claiming they made or own what you made. Just that by using their assets you also consented to having the stuff you made be licensed by the pokemon company. (royalty-free)

Of course it is also true, like you are saying, that these things are a bit like EULAs in that they might not actually be that enforceable.

I guess the second part of what I quoted is actually pretty terrible and should in fact make it so that no one should make pokemon fan art ever :D
No further consideration or compensation of any kind will be given for any Fan Art. Fan Art creator gives up any claims that the use of the Fan Art violates any of their rights, including moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary rights publicity rights, rights to credit for material or ideas or any other right, including the right to approve the way such material is used. In no uncertain terms, does Pokémon's use of Fan Art constitute a grant to Fan Art's creator to use the Pokémon intellectual property or Fan Art beyond a personal, noncommercial home use.

But Nintendo are notoriously awful aren't they.

In fact, Game Freak are legally entitled to do so:

These are rules written by big corporations to claim ownership of art they didn't make. Are these rules legal ?

Fan art in general is a breach of copyright but I guess the copyright holder can be gracious enough to allow people to make fan art as the pokemon company has done there. It's perfectly legal and easier than having to give specific permission to everyone who asks to make something derivative of the stuff you own.
