Author Topic: Why Are We Posting Full Songs? (Read 4726 times)

��{ Awoken } · February 26, 2007, 07:12:22 PM

I Just want to raise the concern to Badspot, and everyone else.

I see everyone is uploading full length songs... Why, may I ask? If someone had this on their server and you didn't have it, would you sit though the download? Probably not, so why even bother uploading full length songs?

As you can see Badspot has no music file over 100KB (aside from "After School Special" which is 625KB). And all is of loopable playback in Blockland. Reason? Well keeps it small, and doesn't take up much room for the BL download. My point? Keep it small for download sake, keep it simple for length sake, keep is easy to listen to.

Also, I doubt Badspot has this in the forum rules, but if you're posting full length songs, available to download by another (even non-members,) that is piracy my children. It's one thing to have pieces of a song for use of a game (thats not a hug piracy issue,) but full length songs is another thing. Especially when these forums are for the retail edition of Blockland, and is being hit by a lot of guest users. It only takes one person to ruin the fun.

Thanks you, and have a

I'm taking the time to loops well, and in the process of making a pack of 7.

EDIT: I Now have 13 songs that loop decently. I will post in a couple hours.

I'm working on a techno/trance/dance whatever you wanna call it pack myself.

Hard to loop that stuff :P It's just too hard to pick a part of the song to loop, it's all too good.

Small or processed (even beyond recognition) pieces of most commercial songs are as illegal to distribute as full songs.

Not that anyone cares, but people have been sued over samples shorter than the even shortest posted here. People get sued over sampling just a snare drum and using it in their songs...

I dont really mind big songs, I dont plan on using any of them if i host a server except for maybe the mad world ones =P I'm just downloading them anyway incase other people decide to use them

Step 1: Games reserves the right to ban you from playing Blockland online at any time for any reason and without notice.

And I think you are confused between piracy and sharing, and I highly doubt Eric will be held accountable for someone else adding full songs into their music folder. I would consider it like garry's mod. Garry would be locked up if he were held accountable for every players actions in the game.

Lets just be realistic here.

He's going to be in trouble if he lets people keep posting copyrighted music on his forums though.

I'm not being confused. Just raising a concern of a problem that could get out of control real fast.

On a lighter note, Badspot uses GoDaddy.com :) and it a Virginia Tech man.

I totally agree
