"To make your music easier to share, please upload your music to a location where it can easily be streamed, such as YouTube or OC ReMix."

I don't think they know how hosted music works on here. Also, is that the promotion that they're looking to include music from this competition for? If so, are we supposed to submit tracks to it, or are they going to take tracks at their leisure, or...? That whole bit is still a little on the vague side of things.

I was about to post about this same thing having just seen the link today. I imagine Darke could ask whoever he was in contact with earlier. I'm really curious about this whole deal.

I probably would have been more interested in asking about details if I hadn't got knocked out in round one like a little bitch, but I'm surprised y'all didn't get more info.. hmmm... maybe there was no info... This is very intriguing and I hope it works out for da best.

All I know is that I read their "terms and conditions", and it's a pretty standard scam/f**k you agreement. If they touch anything I've made related to this competition without my written consent I have every right to start a lawsuit for all original content I've created. I would at the very least expect some royalties or some sort of fee for using my music. They are a huge company after all. I don't mind a few people on the internet downloading my music for free for their enjoyment, but I'm not going to be exploited as an artist.

Furthermore, the only incentive for submitting your music to Capcom is letting them include it in their "celebration activities". So what does this mean? A couple of guys from Capcom are going to get drunk and play your music, and then basically do whatever they want with it from that point on? Nowhere does it even say they'll credit you publicly with your work.

Yeah, Thank God for guys like you GLL, I never even read T&C. I just hit "Accept". :P

they won't use anything unless you submit it.

That being said, i'm submitting both of my tracks I did.

There were some issues that Capcom's legal department had with the competition (specifically our OC ReMixers only restriction), so that's why they went with an open submission format. We won't be sending any music to Capcom on anyone's behalf; you'll be responsible for sending them your music through that form.

For my part, I want to apologize. When Capcom contacted us about music, Larry and I decided that whatever we'd be sending them, we'd need to have a baseline for quality, and the simplest way to do that was to limit the competition to OC ReMixers. No hate on newbies, but a lot of the time in these competitions, the newbie tracks don't cut it. If we'd known that Capcom just wanted basically everyone to send them anything and everything, we wouldn't have restricted it. We just had some miscommunication, which resulted in Capcom's decision to go ahead with this.

I personally like running these competitions and encouraging newbies involved because it's a good way to develop skills. Future competitions by me won't ever have an "OC ReMixer-only" restriction.

You're assuming a lot of bad shit about Capcom, which isn't really warranted. I mean, honestly, "get drunk and play your music?" Come on. The "celebration activities" they're talking about are things they're going to be doing with the fanbase to celebrate SF's 25th anniversary. If you don't want to submit your music because you disagree with what is a pretty standard licensing agreement for derivative works, that's fine, but please don't sit there and badmouth the community guys over at Capcom. They're good dudes and they're not out to screw anyone over.

Anyway that's all I'm going to say about that, and that's all I want to see about that in the thread. Let's just get back to discussing the competition itself.

Eh... I dunno... it's remixes of music from their own company anyway. What am I gonna do? Try to sell it? Nope.

I certainly don't fault anybody who doesn't feel comfortable with this. It's totally each person's own call (though I personally assumed we'd lose any rights the very moment we entered anyway). But I just don't feel like it's that big a deal given the whole context of what we're dealing with.

EDIT: Oh wow, there were several other comments that appeared when I clicked submit. This was mostly in response to GLL for the record who again is free to feel however he wants about the whole thing. No skin off my back.

Well I submitted my song, as If I would ever make money from it. I can understand where you're coming from GLL but this is one of those very exclusive things I guess. I would never expected to be able to sell mine, but maybe I just suck a load of burro. It really sucks that it went down this way but eh what can ya do. CAPCOM. Ugh I almost typed COMCAST. Lol.

Ok so in the end, songs from this compo won't be submitted by darke and we have to send them ourselves using that website Brandon linked to?
