Wanna see GAMES. not just dudebro sports games. E3 coming up though, right?

Physical CD is here! Again, all of the links to recap: Loudr.fm (pay $10 or more, various file types including .FLAC): http://bit.ly/tabloudr iTunes: http://bit.ly/tabitunes Physical CD distributed by Fangamer: http://bit.ly/tabmes Thanks for the support on this. These guys are crazy good and I had a lot of fun recording, mixing, and mastering their album. 'Preciate it!

Loved it. Already seen it twice! Lotta fun. Love the side kid (kick). Probably the most laughs for me in this one out of the three films. I love everything y'all put into the spoiler tags. I thought they were all awesome. Sorry you didn't like the first spoiler tag, uhhh6677, but that made it awesome for me.

Allegedly, the album in its entirety will be streaming on iTunes today.

Yes, Loudr has FLAC! Physical CD is coming just as soon as humanly possible. I will update the moment it's up. Thanks for your interest!

Oh I know MOST artists really enjoy hearing arrangements by fans. But a lot of times - especially in video game music - the artist doesn't own their own music so they don't have a say in what happens to it from a legal standpoint. Crazy sometimes this world of ours being.

blammo hell yeah it does. But! Does he own it? Oy.

That was a poor collection of thoughts on my part which is why I ended with "bah." I'm sorry. Yes, you're right that derivative work is eligible for fair use. Any implication to the contrary on my part was wrong. I apologize. I was thinking back to the original statement to which I wanted to refute. Now that I'm more awake, I see that orlouge82 was right in that what I said was important to the fair use factors. So let me start over. Based on my legal advising and study of copyright law, in the matter of Kruai remixing Zedd and releasing it for free, I would not consider Kruai's arrangement "fair use." Referring to the Copyright Law: 1.) Kraui state that the arrangement is not for profit, but it is not for educational purposes. 2.) The nature of the copyrighted work is to be sold for profit. The arrangement is available for free. 3.) The work in question uses a substantial amount of the copyrighted work. 4.) The market for copyrighted work is affected because I can download the free remix instead of paying for the copyrighted work. If I were a judge in this "case," I would not allow for "fair use" as a defense. An excellent study for Fair Use is Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music, Inc. And that's only the "fair use" argument. I hope I've made myself more clear and I apologize for any faulty information.

I am not the ultimate authority on anything. No one is. If you're going to use a video game music remix Web site's forum as a substitute for proper legal advice, you deserve whatever you get. Fine. "Based on my legal advising and study of copyright law," will proceed my ridiculous opinions as of late from here on. Okay. And yes, "fair use" will ultimately be decided by the court on a case by case basis, but if you want to know my opinion, I'd be happy to give it to you based on my legal advising and study of copyright law. blam

hahah no you wouldn't. It's not fair use. It's not using the original finished work. You're more often than not creating a derivative work. And there are usually two copyrights in the first place. Bah. This is a lot more complicated than most take it for. If you want to get into it, we can. You can also search the myriad of threads that have popped up on this issue over the years on this board. Just ignore any posts where people start with, "I think," or "maybe." I think we answered OP's question.

Joypad's not just for games.

If you don't have a license, you can't do a remix. Even if you did have a license for the remix, you have to get a separate license for video. "Adding to it" and "not profiting off it" has nothing to do with the fact that you're arranging and releasing someone else's property without consent. That's the problem here. Don't fight it. You won't win. Get a license? Better chance. I recommend Joypad Records for licensing.

Added iTunes link to first post.

Thank you, Arrow. I will post the iTunes link here as soon as I have it!

William Reyes and Tim Yarbrough, guitarists of The OneUps, have created a guitar duo they call The Altered Beasts. Mustin Enterprises, LLC., has just released their debut album, "Transfiguration." Featuring popular selections from games such as Super Mario 64, Metroid Prime, EarthBound, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and more, there's sure to be something you will enjoy. This album is licensed and is available on Loudr.fm (click cover above) and iTunes at: http://bit.ly/tabitunes. It will also be available in physical CD format exclusively from Fangamer.net in a few days. The boys had a CD release party last night. Here is a snippet of their EarthBound arrangement: Here is their video for Super Mario Bros. 2: I hope you enjoy it! The boys worked hard on this arrangements. I did the recording, mixing, mastering, and executively produced the record. My favorite is the Bossa Nova Sub-Castle. So nice. What's yours?

YES!! THE DARKNESS IS COMING!! Sign me up! Love the first game so much. I don't play a ton of games anymore but I will play this!

Kefka. All the way. I laughed since his first appearance in the story at Figaro. All the way to his final lines before the final battle. Truly psychotic and wonderful.

Thanks for the support! And you know I've got metal those joints.

Okay, but I'm here every day. And thank you.

zomg I'm so old

Brushfire, Treat others as you would like to be treated. This song is older, but this version has additional parts, is a clean edit, is remixed, is remastered, has artwork, and is licensed through Joypad Records. I thought people who enjoy my music would enjoy hearing it. Brandon, thank you for coming to my defense in part. I am an active member of this forum and this community and did not see a problem posting this as many other people post their for sale and for free releases in this forum. If I am wrong about that please let me know.

I'm so ready.

I don't think I've ever agreed more. Can we end this thread now? I think it's dumb.

Good stuff here, people. Don't pass this up.
