The same reason how undub patches were posted many times over in the DS and PSP sections.I'm curious how these undub patches don't violate the forum rules since they contain copy-written data from the japanese version of the game. Not trying to troll, just looking for clarification on how this works exactly.
Well... You know... Technically anything produced as part of the game's release data is copyright, and therefore illegal to share without permission of the copyright holder...Oh for crying out loud , this is hacking forum so don't be too stiff about this copyright stuff.
As long as it isn't the whole rom or systerm code, resoure from game doesn't count.
I know, but that doesn't stop it from being the truth, sadly. If you recall, the guys that made the English patch of Final Fantasy Type-0 had to share it via torrents mostly as well, and even got a C&D for doing it, though it was way too late for that to make a difference, lol.By that logic we should stop posting anything here.
You're being a strict ass for the sake of being an ass.
So I would have to ask for copyright before I post a picture from the game I played?Well... You know... Technically anything produced as part of the game's release data is copyright, and therefore illegal to share without permission of the copyright holder...
Fair-use of image data, recorded by yourself, is to my knowledge, an exception made to said law in order to allow for free speech. However, the moment you try to make money off of that image, fair-use is canceled and you then are at the mercy of copyright law.So I would have to ask for copyright before I post a picture from the game I played?

Sounds more to me like you're just being an ass, probably jealous.
I was actually gonna say "Good job" but you've been coming off as an ass in your last few posts, so I'll refrain.Sounds more to me like you're just being an ass, probably jealous.
Jealous? I'll just ignore that for the sake of civility. Besides, I've been working on a personal translation of Hatsune Miku - Project Mirai 2, which is partly done and I'm testing parts of it right now. If I was against this from happening, I wouldn't be doing that. I haven't attempted to insulted you, nor do I intend to. As I said, I'm after disillusionment, not cancellation.Sounds more to me like you're just being an ass, probably jealous.
I'm really looking forward to your fan-translation project.Jealous? I'll just ignore that for the sake of civility.

If you're interested though, here's an image from the start of my translation project:

Funny enough i remember when crazy japanese publishers already did send mass c&d for posting pictures at some point. Can't remember whether it was related to games or m&a.
Just song names in PV mode and internal, non-ingame-viewable data has been translated so far, though I plan to start working on unpacking the proprietary files holding the menu graphics as soon as I can figure out their structures. I luckily have a few Japanese friends willing to help me with translation, I just need to get at the files first. If anyone's willing to help me with that, please, PM me, I could use the help.
But anyway, enough hijacking your thread. Back on topic, I much appreciate you putting time into these releases, and have no intention of stopping you, neither express or implied. Just know that this will most likely be scrutinized shortly, so it's best to have a backup plan for hosting and releases.
Not really interested in Miku or rhythm games in general (other than Theatrhythm), but good job. Hopefully you'll be able to translate the whole thing.
As for what I said, I simply cannot understand what exactly is wrong with this seeing as there's projects like did posted all over the DS and PSP sections of this forum. It's completely useless without owning the original rom as OrangeFlavored said, and what's more modding is within fair use rights. So is using the content from same IP license (such as Japanese voices from JP release for the US version). That's how Star Wars Jedi Academy modding thrives to this day, they make plenty of copyrighted content but as long as they release it for free and only for the game then it's legal. You think corporate websites like FileFront would allow it if it wasn't the case? If the IP owner doesn't like it, they can always send a C&D as it's within their right, but nothing more than that.
If anything, I see people being way too paranoid over these things. Either due to lack of knowing the law or simple lack of common sense.
Well, I'm, of course, not the final say here by any means. As this site's servers are located in France right now, legality should probably be cross-referenced with France's laws on copyrighted content. I'm not really too worried about it myself, just think we should have a mod confirm before we get too cozy sharing huge chunks of games on the forum. I'd like to know as well, seeing as I do plan to release a patcher for Mirai 2 once at least the basic stuff is done, if I can. Anyway, it never hurts to ask in these situations. Better than arguing over copyright law I guess.Not really interested in Miku or rhythm games in general (other than Theatrhythm), but good job. Hopefully you'll be able to translate the whole thing.
