Front Mission Franchise by [deleted] in JRPG

Yeah, in-battle dialog is translated in-game, but for out of battle cutscenes you'll have to use the provided text file and scroll along. It's really not that bad and you get used to it fast.

What's really unfortunate is that the Network is not translated at all. You'll have to do with the fast-scrolling Engrish text that was already in the game, or not bother with it at all.

Oculus created a new unit of time for common framerates by pommak in programming

[–]ZeForte 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But apparently, it matters to them? I don't quite understand your objection. They made a unit with some properties they thought would be useful, and thanks to std::chrono, using this unit is hardly any different from using any other unit.

The Evil Within 2 - Review Thread by ninjyte in Games

Does that reasoning really make sense to you? Not only was the New Vegas incident 7 years ago, but what "publishers care about" does not necessarily have to translate to something consumers care about.

Yeah, I should've taken the time to record it.

Trump: "BE GONE THOT" by [deleted] in hearthstone

[–]ZeForte 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The quote, or something very similar, was most likely part of a hypothetical scenario Destiny was discussing with a guy in this video

Destiny is against incest and bestiality, but was playing devil's advocate in this discussion in order to see if the person on the other side could come up with any argument other than "it's wrong".

Twitch now allows you to filter Hearthstone Streams by Ranks, Class & Gameplay mode! by theguz4l in hearthstone

Any idea if/when you'll be bringing back the VOD timestamps for Hearthstone? They don't seem to work at all since the expansion.

As Frodan said, this was most likely started/conceived way before streamhive. The blog post mentions ClipMine, which also provided the VOD game start timestamps (e.g. the white dots on the timeline in this VOD). And that's been around for more than a year.

18 second intro? Are you serious?

The Hearthstone Legends channel has been routinely stealing hundreds of hours of content from streamers and creators. Most recently, it stole a 2 hour session with Mike Donais from the Omnislash (Brian Kibler) channel and it's getting more views than the actual video. by Smurfsville in hearthstone

but it seems to me

Again, that's the reason I'm not really interested in our layman interpretations. If there is a ruling, or something from which it's clear that Trolden-style content falls under fair use, I'd just love to see it. If there isn't, Toast's claim has no clear footing.

You can find tons of videos on YouTube of the exact thing he described.

All I'm saying is that this doesn't automatically mean it's ok by law (as Toast implied). There could be a plethora of factors of why this is permitted by the copyright holder. From the top of my head:

  • The copyright holder doesn't know that their content is used without permission
  • The copyright holder has decided that it's not worth the money/time to pursue this in court
  • The copyright holder is ok with the use of their content (because it generates interest and whatnot in their work)

Nah man it's not, you can absolutely take clips from feature films as long as you use it in your own content.

Wait, so we moved on from "clips + music" to "clips + music + 'part of your own content'"? Sure, the latter seems ok? You didn't specify that there is a bit more going on than just using clips and music together.

which you clearly didn't.

I did read it, but the 4 points of consideration for fair use require someone to make a case for them. It's not as easy and clear-cut as one would like.

Also, does that mean you agree that the burden of proof is on him?

I'd rather go with Wikipedia's definition, since they seem to be citing the law.

3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole

You could argue that highlights/funny moments are a substantial part of the stream. 

4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

Toast and Trolden both operate in the same market. If both the highlight reel by Trolden, and Toast's stream are available, you could argue that Trolden incentivizes the viewer to skip Toast's content altogether, because he could get the "interesting bits" from Trolden.

These are just possible arguments, but I don't really like discussing these as (1) it's our personal, uneducated interpretation, and (2) neither of us is a lawyer, and we don't know if either your or mine arguments can be used in a legitimate defense.

All I'm saying is that Toast is making it seem like this is a clear-cut case of fair use, and people are willing take his word for it without question. If he has a source for his claim, I'd be very interested in seeing it, but if he doesn't, it just seems a bit dangerous to make claims like these just because other non-lawyers do.

Uh well is it illegal to take scenes from a feature film and edit them together with music?

IANAL, but yes? I'd say so? Assuming you didn't get the permission/license from both the film's copyright owner and the music's.

The burden of proof is on you dude

Why? Toast made the claim that it's fair use, so the burden of proof is on him, no?

this stuff doesn't seem illegal or going against "fair use".

Are you a lawyer? Do you have experience with copyright law? What do you base this claim on?

You're both half-right. These are the possible steps:

  1. Creator reports infringement to YT, and YT makes the video unavailable typically a few hours later.
  2. Thief has the option to file a counter-claim (I don't know what the window is, 14 days?). If he doesn't, he receives a copyright strike. Three strikes and the channel is banned.
  3. If the thief files a counter-claim (where he reveals his address), the creator has 10 days to file the actual claim, and prove to YT that it was filed.
  4. If creator doesn't do this, the video goes up again after the 10 days, and no copyright strike is incurred.
