Of course it's wrong. However, the issue here is not as huge and serious as the lot of you make it out to be. It's not a case of "Fuck you I'm stealing your music" or anything like that. If you've been paying attention, the guy is truly sorry, and essentially is halting the selling of a game he already finished and his other game as well because of this. There's no way creating the music rivals the effort the entire game requires in this case, no matter what you may think.

When you say "some moronic programmer", it really hurts because it projects that you can seriously only see one side of this. It's not exactly plagiarism, either. He was fairly credited, although not notified that he was selling a game with his music in it, which he might not have realized was an offense to begin with.

Of course musician's rights are as important as any other. But this is KgZ's fight, not yours. Spamming on videos does not fix anything.

I like your Etude No. 4, by the way.

I haven't tried this game yet, but it looks pretty hard for only easy mode :p

Ok, here's my view on how things can be settled. The creator of this game can credit the creator of the music he used first off. Then, since the license KgZ was granted was only through non commercial distribution, the creator of this game should give KgZ a slight percentage of royalty made from this game, considering he is actually making money off of this.

Fair enough, I can respect that. But if the programmer is really sorry, he's going to need to compensate KgZ in some way. Plagiarism or not, he did break the license of the music, as it is specifically noncommercial.

It sends a message that somehow the music production community's rights are less important than those of some moronic programmer. We can't allow plagiarism to go on unchecked or all of our rights will be infringed upon. He's making money off of someone else's work, does that not seem wrong to you at all?

[Vulcapyro]

"If he asked and told me in some what shape or form I would have had no problem, even though he was selling the game."

But he didn't. Boo hoo. What are you going to do now, harass him like the fucking mafia until be breaks?

The truth is, this is a great game and this guy does some great work. Are you all going to let it go to waste because some music was ripped? Are you going to attempt to prevent him from making new games because of this? What kind of impact does this have on you, exactly?
