You're on Patreon with this game. And there could be the big problem. You get paid for the game or the work on the game. But you're selling something. And that's when it get's illegal. My concern is that you get banned from Patreon for using music from copyright protected material. Patreon is located in the USA, so you have to make sure to not violate the copyrights from the US. And I know, that most animes published in US and EU are copyright protected, the complete video AND AUDIO.
Just do yourself a favor, remove music from copyright protected medias and use free ones. Otherwise you will still use STOLEN audios. According to US and EU laws.
1. Patreon is a platform that works as a mediator, between the content creator and the person who likes said content and wants it to continue, so they voluntarily decide to donate money for it.
2. Patreon makes a profit, which he makes from me for using his services.
3. Patreon is not interested in what I do or don't do, Patreon receives orders from Paypal, yes, a company that resides in the United States that was created by Elon Musk.
4. Paypal does not review what Patreon content creators do, they don't care. Because the bases and conditions are already established, that is why Patreon is the one who enforces them, warns you and can delete your page within its platform.
5. So, they don't even review, and best of all, it's not necessary since I'm not breaking any law, term or condition.
6. 90% of anime is created in Asia. Foreign countries acquire the license, which allows them to distribute or reproduce the anime in their country, or to double it in their language, as well as to censor or remove certain things, which are all in agreement with the company or creator from whom I buy the license.
6. That you have a license, does not mean that you are the owner of the work or project, it does not even work as buy shares on the stock exchange. A license is a right of use. If someone wants to buy copyright, it is something that is very expensive, but once they buy it, it is when the terms and conditions change or may change depending on the country. This is for example what may happen to Tencent (Chinese company) and its intention to buy a large part of the companies (shares) that reside in Japan.
7. I don't need to buy usage rights. I give you an example: If I, as you call me, a thief, download or get the original song of any anime or famous project, and upload the song to YouTube monetizing the video, that would be infringing the copyright. Why?
Because you put advertising on the video, the song is not yours, you don't have a license, you are generating profits because by the way you monetize the video.
8. My project is not monetized, within the game you do not find any advertising. I do not ask for money. Simply, if you like what I do and can support me by volunteering on Patreon, great.
9. In summary, I am using third-party material (in this case, music and the Ilussion engine) adding my content, which is merely a dialogue, not even creating wallpapers is original or exclusively my property, because the Ilussion engine does not it's mine. The project is not for sale, nobody finances me, nobody pays me to do it. I do it if I want to, and if tomorrow I get out of bed and decide not to continue because someone calls me a thief, I do it, and I don't continue it, it's that simple, because I'm not in a relationship of dependency with anyone and I'm not under any circumstances. type of contract that forces me to work or create content with a time limit.
For this reason, no one can initiate legal action against me. For this reason, if any anime company takes my story tomorrow and turns it into an anime and generates profits, I cannot initiate legal action either. What's more, I wouldn't even care, on the contrary, I would be super happy.
10. If you are so concerned, you talk to me privately and you argue the reason for your concern and I will answer you. Now, tell me twice they thief in this public thread, I doubt that it really serves anything other than to harm me. Copyright laws on third party material, my research, I have already done. I live researching before doing something. I have a lot of things to worry about and keep getting informed. Copyright is not one of them. That many people call me a thief, because one or two people dared to say it here, yes, it worries me, because it makes me sad, for a reason that I already explained before.
It is really sad that someone devalues what one does with love and effort, such as spending a lot of time looking for good music for the right moment, listening and listening to exhaustion, and then testing in the game. We return to the same, don't you like it? But it is perfect, for tastes the colors, I can like dogs and you can like cats, you can like music, you can't like music.
Now that you call me a thief, it's a complete lack of respect.
