Hey everybody, thought you might like the Katawa Shoujo soundtrack in .mp3 format.
http://rapidshare.com/files/231158951/Katawa_Shoujo_Soundtrack.rar

ENJOY.

No matter who says what to do, or why they say to do it, if it's within my legal rights and I have said I'll do something then I WILL do it.

[Anonymous No.]

Meh... how about posting all the sprites, instead?

[Anonymous No.]

yea i posted the RS link and a free converter on the katawa shoujo forums but my post got edited

It's actually not within your rights to distribute anything based or a modified version of the game. I'm not saying I care, considering /rs/ = piracy, I'm just pointing that out.

What's wrong with OGG Vorbis, anyway?

Ogg files don't work with a lot of media players. Or iPods, apparently, and we all know how many of those are out and about.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565118
OP here. That would be nice; I'd especially like an Emi spritesheet. Unfortunately, I just downloaded the ogg files off of /rs/ myself; I haven't got any way to get anything out of the game.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565120

not a big deal, use this http://download.cnet.com/Free-Mp3-Wma-Ogg-Converter/3000-2140_4-10793572.html

free converter, no limits on it, thats what i used, BTW this is >>2565084

I still have the RS files so if the one currently up gets taken down for some reason or another i'll just reup it

[Anonymous No.]

why must delta be such a faggot about this?

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565111
You realize converting a lossy format to mp3 will never make it better, right? ogg -> mp3 will always decrease quality. Or keep the same quality with an increased filesize.

Converting a lossy format to another lossy format is retarded, the only reason why anyone should even be thinking of doing this is because you want to listen to this on an mp3 player that doesn't support ogg. But really, you want to listen to KS music on your iPod? Good lord.

Like I said, I don't care, but his DURR IT'S MY RIGHTS, FUKKEN OBAMA IS PART OF THE JEWISH CONSPIRACY TO BAN GUNS AND DESTROY THE USA speech is retarded. If you want to upload pirated stuff, go ahead, just don't claim you're doing the moral and legal thing.

OK, people from #katawa-shoujo will probably guess who this is, so here is how I view it.

- You can extract data for personal use.
- You can extract data for use within fair use (joke shoops, etc...)
- You can distribute the entire game as-is.
- You can distribute scripts to extract the content (might fall foul of the DCMA or some bullshit?, but the archived format doesn't really count as DRM).
- You can NOT distribute the game modified (with data extracted).
- You can NOT distribute the game content partially, this would be classed as a derivative.

Now, they are actually being pretty accomodating about this, all things considered, they just don't like people talking about it on the IRC channel/forums. Yes, they do get touchy, but that's the way it is.

>>2565137

To support the argument, copyright laws, especially in the US, tend to heavily favor originator's intent. In fact, the grounds for "fair use" are both massively limited and massively /vague/ under current copyright laws.

What it boils down to is that if the creator(s) are willing to sue over intellectual property, all they really need to do is point out where a copy has been made. The defendant will then have to prove that there was /explicit/ intent made by the originator(s) to allow the use of their work for non-personal purposes.

There are a lot of grounds for abuse there, of course, but that doesn't mean that the OP's right. Merely that the KS staff probably doesn't give two shits either way.

[Anonymous No.]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF wrong text field.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565153
But this doesn't follow their neckbeard license, like >>2565144 said. So it is copyright infringement, also known as piracy.

[Sakura !!sCKns1iPkwx No.]

Didn't the Doujin artist Raita come up with the characters and name of the game? How would the KS staff have any rights to it?

KS has a CC license. Which means you're free to rip it and share it, as long as you keep the credits intact.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565172

That concept has been effectively public domain for some time, and the work is so loosely based and far progressed from the original, not to mention the original being made in a Doujinn, which is work on someone else's charachters in itself, along with the fact no profit is being made pretty much nullifies that.

I think it might have more to do with the OP wanting to make a relatively controversial statement in order to keep this thread bumped without doing any work.

[Anonymous No.]

Who fucking gives a shit if we pirate a game, we do this everyday.
Hell, it's not like they PLAN to make money off it anyway.

[Anonymous No.]

The devs don't give a flying fuck if you extract stuff from the game. They just don't want you doing it on their forums/IRC.

This doesn't seem hard to understand, nor a big ask.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565173

You realize that there's a few dozen variations on the totally copylefted version of a Creative Commons license, right? The license for KS specifically states NO FUCKING DERIVATIVES MOTHERFUCKER.

But, again, it's not as if they'll defend their IP.

[Anonymous No.]

>>2565202

exactly, after i posted it i realized how fucking retarded i was.

[Kenji !c/I.dmFW.A No.]

Distributing the OST separately from the game is piracy.

That said, who the fuck cares? The devs don't, other then that they don't want to see it happen on the official forums.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

GNAA/Lunix was created by Linus Torvalds in 1991. He originally called his operating system "The People's Great Computer Operating System", but this was changed to GNAA/Lunix at the request of Ricardo Stallmanovski, who thought a more inconspicuous name would be more beneficial to the proletariat. After it was released to the public, the Elitist Superstructure secretly had Torvalds killed by one of their ninja assasins and replaced him with an remote controlled android. They then began inserting subliminal communist propaganda into the Lunix kernel which eventually made many communists join the Lunix development team.

When GNAA/Lunix eventually attained widespread popularity, Torvalds is quoted as saying the following, "It was all just a joke, I mean, I didn't actually expect people to like it, or for it to catch on. Why would I try to make something better than Windows?"

Affiliates of the Elitist Superstructure joined the development effort to develop device drivers for USB Mittens.
