general

Cuz nobody plays mariokart so no reason to pick up switch atm

Planning on getting splatoon and Mario kart so maybe?

wELL THEN

Caps

Alex is back at it again

more DMCAs and doubled down on Turner broadcasting

oh really

where is this info

lel

i'm just reading stories

Sidalpha tb and leonard are talking about it on twitter

here is a good chain

wait tb is talking about ffx blitzball?

what

what the fuck are you on karp

Challenge him to a marioparty duel

Man, if they make a good mario party for switch

They should just for the purpose of selling additional consoles

tb metioned bliztball

Since you know the switch is gonna get thrown across the room

so i'm assuming he's talking about the ffx minigame

That is completely irrelivant to what we were talking about karp

What are we talkin aboutv

?

Are you not following the Alex Mauer thing?

i was reading total biscuits twitters

Who's he?

...

Not tb

oh

TLDR version, Alex Mauer, a composer who under a work for hire contract made music for a game called star mazer. Later, she decided that she was not paid enough, and started DMCAing videos all over youtube for starmazer. A bunch of shit went down, she sent a cease and desist to turner broadcasting, and sent a bunch of death threats to people making videos/ the attorny who is representing the company that made star mazer

then nvm

That sounds not very legal

its note

not

here is the initial video

this guy recieved several death threats

Alex does not own the music (under contract, the studio who hired her does), but she released the soundtrack on bandcamp for 1000 dollars, also illegal

This person is actually mentally deranged

Normally, I would agree though

🤔 true

but alex might actually be insane enough to do it

But anyways

me and porygon have been following this

not sure if anyone else cared

I kinda want to make a bunch of videos using this music now

I mean, that is stealing from imagos, the studio who made the game

since she does not own the music at all

Ya but it would prob annoy her since she is looking for stuff using her music

You would have to title the video star mazer for her to see it

she is doing it manually

Oh best part, she is fucking over Imagos, she DMCAd the game on steam, and it is still down

and not avaliable for sale

I mean id title it "Star Mazer Soundtrack" and then just have memes

so they are loosing money on that

star mazer doesn't seem that interetsing though

so nothing of value was lost

Dont actually even use the music so she couldnt pull it down

It is a bullet hell

They did that

Just Jebaited

then she claimed the other sounds were also hers

and DMCAd again

They did replace all music

if it was the binding of issac was taken down or something i actually care about

with a new composer

fuck off karp

I care because this is a bad practice

that hurts games

Would I ever play star mazer

no

it won't stop happening

just gotta get use to it

corruption is impossible to stop

Fuck off with your nhilistic defeatism

Absurdistic Apathy is the true path

How about just some systems in place for 1 person to not be able to take down tons of videos ResidentSleeper

well
