I have to agree with that, I would feel more bad if she wouldn't be so rude about credit or speaking to people in general to get permission and the like as in most cases I've seen with her - there wasn't any need for any of her outbursts (such as simply introducing people she had mentioned she had wanted to speak with previously) and I can only say is that I hope if anyone messages her if she's stolen any more of their WiP songs/remixes, or have modified their work then at the very least she could provide some proper credit instead of claiming it as her work as it makes her look quite bad. More-so when she was trying to offer assistance with music for a project I'm working on, and I declined as I'm not going to take music without thoroughly checking through places and/or artists' as she's got a past record of plagiarism.

I can actually confirm that she claims to have made mixes, albums and the like that I know the origin to as I lurk OCR, ReMix:ThaSauce, various Japanese, Chinese arrangement communities and artists'/groups that actually release albums as well - that I've heard her claim as her own, she has actually harassed me and asked me to model (really made me go WTF!) for her "album covers" after seeing some photos of me on The Horror Is Alive dressed as Jill Valentine and then to voice for her as some characters for some sort of "Resident Evil remix X drama album" she told me she was apparently working on. She words things carefully, but when speaking with her privately she claims credit to things that I know she wasn't responsible for as I recognized the artist and could go through my CDs to find some burnt copies of albums that didn't have disc releases, or even on my hard-drive to find the remix with it's original name, the original version. Overall, she's rude and quite a liar and I know that she has also picked up some MIDI remakes that people have made of their favorite VGM, changed the instruments and claimed it as her own among other things. When I brought up some of the artists' she stole from, she quite honestly got pretty pissy and had bit of a rant about how they didn't apparently appreciate her, and she was also pretty avid to avoid discussion of them and OCR and after that she would forever be putting on her Skype status crap about people thinking she's a bitch and so-on and that they just don't understand or appreciate her "talent". If anyone wanted to speak with her in person on the matter, Cindy's Skype is the same as the YouTube account - lightningxlita My apologies, if I had realized the extent of her plagiarism earlier then I would have reported it on OCR long ago! [Edit] She might vanish again, but her names are usually fairly obvious and she tends to subscribe to a couple of friends of mine on YouTube as she likes the parodies we do so it shouldn't be hard to find her again if she makes another account and does it all over again.

Just posting this one as it's one of my favorites and I haven't really heard many video games have music in the same/similar manner as Capcom's Demento/Haunting Ground. =http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRM-JTBVTn4]Demento OST - Something Lacking. Regardless of how many times I listen to the soundtrack, I still notice more things about it. What I love, is that the majority of songs by Seiko Kobuchi on it were mainly made out of dialogue by the voice actors manipulated. Considering how the game is, it got quite a few people. But the soundtrack is beautiful, especially Endless･･･DEMENTO and Endless Zero.

A watermarking system or something of the manner as you've mentioned wouldn't exactly be hard for them to do considering the overlays to see what video quality it's in, the site of origin and that annotations can also be put as an overall. More or less it could be an additional section of a video upload to have an approved content watermark somewhere on it that requires specific information from the company or a contact address and/or number to confirm and finalize it before it gets that watermark. *Shrugs* I don't know, there's a fair amount of good verification processes that could be implemented but they just haven't been in regards to things such as YouTube. Sadly so, I do wish that something of the manner was implemented sooner than later as it does disappoint me when it comes to the troubles to organize, have approval and prove that approval to avoid having marks on accounts or things taken down.

Yes, the copyright regarding it is bit interesting as it's been copyrighted as the artist with the company's name included in brackets within half of the bits of information regarding it and the other is simply with the company - but the ones with simply the company have also had completely incorrect information oddly enough. I have tried to find out more, it's a little bit tricky but even the main composer agreed that things may be done without them being aware of it in regards to the music so I've tried my best regarding getting proper permission for it and that's so far what has happened. More or less after seeing how much they've been porting things or stating that things are being targeted at a wider range more or less for a better profit margin - I figured it would be best to ask since they're rather focused on the profit and some things could cause them to lose it. Such as at the time I had also repeatedly reported copyrighted material being profited from and it's been blatantly ripped from concept art, music, voice acting and the like and from what I've seen no response or action was done when I had requested if there was say, an e-mail address of a staff member to contact regarding such copyright violations and/or to request for permission. Though with what you've said, that's sad but true considering that the system on YouTube leaves a fair amount of questions unanswered until some sort of notice appears on the account regarding it. Which is quite a shame on the overall seeing as more or less if there was general response to public requests/reports and the like between the staff and the people then it would clear some issues up before it happens due to some troll flagging something on YouTube simply because they can. Anyway, thank you both for your opinion on this topic. ^^

I do realize that, I have spoken with a few staff from the company and the general sort of feeling is that they don't really seem to care for the game and/or merchandise for it in question sadly. So, with the other remaining composer who is still with the company responding rarely with comments that are more or less unsure I figured I would ask the more active ones involved on the project if they in their time with the company felt it would be alright considering the general approach to the game with the lack of marketing and that more or less the Japanese, American official pages for it are broken in parts and clearly abandoned. More or less, I've asked the staff repeatedly and asked other staff not involved with the development if they could give some sort of general direction as to whom I would need to specifically contact at the company to which the general response is - e-mail/messages have been read, ignored, replied with they can't say/are unsure or they feel it should be fine. So sadly, that's been the best I've been able to get out of the company I'm afraid.

My apologies for this, but as a long-time lurker on here I do respect everyone's thoughts on here and just thought I'd ask you this if it's alright... In your opinion, would it have been a fair decision if he had sent messages or requests to the composers and/or companies to be allowed to upload them for reference purposes? Just thought I'd ask as personally - I've been speaking to a few composers and/or official arrangers to get their permission to have it online for the sake of it to: 1) Be an online reference due to the main soundtrack in particularly being of a low print amount and no longer in print. 2) All involved in the soundtrack enjoy hearing that people like the music for it and due to the lack of quantity/general availability of it to have it online for fans of the game OR of the composers/arrangers work to enjoy as Capcom barely bothered with promotional work for it or the game in general and the chance of any re-releases are extremely unlikely to happen. During the discussion when I asked the main composer if it would be fine to upload the tracks in the full-forum, if it would be permitted as long as I included all of the information, copyright free-use section and links to where it is found in pre-owned stock pages on Play-Asia, CDJapan and the like pointed out in English and Japanese via annotations - to which I provided an example by using the first track and the response was "Awesome!" - considering how humble and nice on the overall they all are I took it as permission being granted and uploaded it. If SilvaGunner had done something similar in regards to the music, would it be the same opinion on that matter regarding video game music uploads? Or, would I also be one who should know better as I've taken the time to ask permission before proceeding?

Silent Edge, as a lurker on here (and one that hasn't found much to say the entire time I've lurked here) - I have to say, I'm impressed with it being your first piece with FruityLoops Studio! Just try and follow through with what Gario has mentioned, and I'm sure this will turn into a lovely remix so, do dream. Also, I love the rain effect and that you chose a harp (regardless of sample and production issues). I'm looking forward to hearing improvements on this!
