    My plan is simple:
    - Make some VGM remixes.
    - Upload them to OC Remix (obviously because I like VGM AND for free promotion reasons).

    I don't know if you read how things work on OCR but you cannot upload your tracks *like that* on the website. Also, OCR is dedicated to promote VGM, not to promote artists for free (some exceptions happen, with veteran remixers who turned pro for instance). I invite you to check out the "About" section.

    Is this legal if I just do this?
    How does this work here on OC Remix?

    For ex. YouTube doesn't like covers/remixes/etc that doesn't have permission,
    I will get flags on my videos and any kind of alert messages from music publishers or maybe from Nintendo or whatever.
    Does this work differently on OC Remix?

    (But I just want to do for the love of VGM, and of course it is automatically a free promotion thing too,
    but I wouldn't make any music if I wouldn't share them to people.)

    So should I even bother with remixes at all, without permission, but giving them out for free?

    OCR isn't too different from YouTube or any other platforms since they're all on the Internet: they're bound to IP law and such. Then, some websites have different policies and rules: OCR has its own Content Policy. Staff members would be more suited to answer on those points.

    You can still upload remixes to YouTube (as a lot of people are doing). Where it becomes problematic for that platform would be if you monetize your videos: only then would companies try to get the video removed. If you share your remixes for free, I don't see the problem.

  2. Update: I got a message from Brandon. He wants to take the FF3 project off OCR, for various reasons. The album isn't cancelled but Brandon wants to move its management and release outside OCR. You can get in touch with him here: brandonestr@gmail.com. (Please note I'm just reporting what he told/asked me to do, and that I may or may not support this decision, thank you.)

  3. I caught up on this after my week vacation. It's a very interesting video. However, I'm not totally agreeing on the fact the MCU music is forgettable. Themes from Iron Man 3, The Avengers, Ant-Man, Age of Ultron, and Guardians of the Galaxy sounds as memorable as other films' to me (like Star Wars of Harry Potter). Older movies' music was played during concerts or on compilations or used on several movies (as a saga). The MCU is more recent than all those movies and only has two trilogies completed by now – Iron Man and Captain America (ended this year with Civil War): it's not set in people's mind.

    Of course, there's the problem that there are several composers contributing and not using previous scores (for instance, Elfman had to rework Tyler's score for AoU and added Silvestri's "Avengers Theme" which Tyler didn't use at all). On the other hand, when a composer returns (Tyler, Jackman), the ten dto reuse themes from a previous movie. Give time to the MCU, it's still growing and I'm sure its music will start growing on people (Bates, Silvestri, Beck are all returning for sequels and people like Giacchino are introduced in the MCU, which sounds very promising).
