WHEN YOU LEARN TOUHOU MUSIC IS ROYALTY FREE

The story behind this is that one day while randomly watching memes on Youtube I stumbled across a fire Emblem meme video called "Awaken My Dedue" by OfficialJugg which had really cool background music from 2:50 - 3:14. I checked the description hoping that there were links to the music used, and sure enough, there was! The video is question is called "Shihori - Day Breaker" and features the song I liked from the video. I added it to my playlist and moved on with my life.

Later on, I decided to use the theme in one of my future games as the theme of the true final boss, and just hoped either the song was royalty free or was obscure enough to not be noticed. However, just today I decided randomly to search for other versions of the song on Youtube. I couldn't find any other similar results when I searched up "Day Breaker Song," leading me only to some obscure rock song and My Little Pony AMVs.

However, going into the comments, I found one particular gem: "I just found out this is a touhou song. The other name for this song is sepetet for the dead princess." - Leslie Siflutez. Upon searching for the actual name of the song, I found a LOT more remixes. However, most of them had a different beat and temo from the "Remix" that was "Shihori Day Breaker," so I couldn't use any of them for my game, including the 8 Bit ones (my game is in a 8 bit style) and the original since it has lyrics.

However, I remembered something I heard online that all Touhou content, including it's excellent music and all it's characters, are 100% allowed by the creator to be used however you like as long as you also let other people use the characters and music for free as well. That's why 99% of Touhou are fan-games. The creator just lets the devs have free reign over his creations and he doesn't care.

This is why in a perfect world, copyright wouldn't exist. The only reason it exists is pure greed, and since in a perfect world everything would be free and people would only make and supply goods and services because they like doing it, copyright is overall pointless and only serves to benefit corporations while hurting the general populace who aren't skilled enough to make their own stuff.

Anyways, since all Touhou content is open-source, I am 100% free to use that song, especially my future remix that I commission, in any of my games, even if said game is commercial. Anyways, enjoy the meme!

Sorry about that post about AKsprites. That was a long time ago, and was mostly based on misconceptions and fear. (but most of my fears came true anyways lol) I was just upset that since I don't have a job, I can't really subscribe to any subscription services myself as I don't have a reliable source on income and I doubt my parents would pay for a RPG Maker art subscription instead of something like Netflix or Disney Plus, despite being $10 more expensive. It's really only $1 a month for tons of high quality battlers, and the first 1000 battlers are still free, so I'm not complaining. It's just because of my situation that I can't afford it, and people should be rewarded for their hard work if they decide to do so. Also, about the "no copyright in a perfect world" thing. Yes, in the current world we live in, copyright cannot just be abolished as people would just abuse it, but I do agree with you that it does have to be amended. However, in a perfect world MONEY WOULD NOT BE NEEDED TO SURVIVE. No one would do anything bad or be motivated by pure greed, envy, or any of the other seven sins. Everything would be provided for and people would do things for other people solely out of the goodness of their heart. Money wouldn't be an issue. They would be no more disease, annoying bugs, stupidity, corruption, greed, hate, natural disasters, pain, or evil. Communism attempted to accomplish this by giving almost complete power to the government in order to "provide for the people," but was heavily flawed due to the nature of humanity being motivated by the seven sins, leading inevitably to corruption. That's why the American political system, while flawed, is the best we can do by splitting the power between multiple branches of government and allowing the people to choose their leaders but also not giving TOO much power to the people because then the radicals will take control and there would be chaos and anarchy with the stupid people taking over and bringing ruin to the world. A balance between the people and the government is needed to supply the needs of the inherently corrupt human race, as well as a balance between the two political spectrum, taking ideas from both sides in order to find the truth. #EnlightenedCentrist

Edit: I can't believe people keep bringing up drama from over a year ago. It's already over and done with. People's views can change a lot in a year, even a day, so it's not fair to judge things people did a long time ago unless it's REALLY bad (IE Assault) or they still hold the same views all those years later. What are you trying to do? Cancel me? I don't even have 500 total downloads! (that last part was a joke)

@Marrend I'm not saying erasing money would solve all the world's problems. In this world, money is necessary to maintain balance and provide incentive for good behavior, though sadly many people earn far to little money for the effort they make and some people earn a ridiculous amount of money for literally doing nothing. (Like female twitch streamers and their army of simps giving them $1000 a month for free. Makes me really jealous for more reasons than one.) Thus, if money just disappeared,there would be chaos. That's why money could no longer be an issue ONLY in a world free from all evil. Money isn't the root of all evil, though it is an aspect that leads people to embracing greed as you can do anything with enough money but you will never be satisfied no matter how much you earn. Thus is the nature of human existence.

Edit: Wow. This was really turned from an innocent meme thread into a philosophical debate about the nature of human existence. Can someone please close this before this gets out of hand? Thanks.

Edit 2: Also Unity, PLEASE don't link to a thread that's 1: over a year old and 2: No longer aligns with my views and was manly posed as a knee-jerk reaction to AKsprites making his new assets paid and me making the conclusion that Yanfly would soon do the same. And hey, I ended up being 100% right in my warning! And no one listened to me! Fun times... (sorry for being sarcastic lol just making a joke)

I wasn't trying to spread my beliefs. I just wanted to let you know the context of my post, and then got sidetracked on something completely unrelated, which I tend to do far too often.

@JosephSeraph You seem like a very nice person, so thanks for clarifying. Same with you Unity. Also, the thing about me being "Right" was that the whole offending post in question was meant to be a PSA telling people to download Yanfly's stuff before they become paid. But then I became sidetracked saying stuff like Yanfly or AKsprites shouldn't make their things paid for petty, selfish reasons. (That I'm broke and don't have a job) Though I still think that Yanfly making all his plugins paid and quitting right when a new maker was about to come out was a really crappy move, but hey it's his decision, I won't judge. If he wants to make RPG Maker MZ fail due to the lack of plugins, that's his choice.

However, recently @Marrend had been being really passive aggressive to me both on here and the official RPG Maker forums. I don't really know what's going on with that person. I really hope it isn't about that drama in november. I thought I already finished that up!
