The creative digital arts are not in the public domain, you'll have to wait. |

optimus, so the work involved in demos doesnt worth a cent, while the work of collecting demos has a right to be payed for ?
strange...
someone makes material for the scene - considered free stuff
someone collects material already done - considered payable stuff
hmm ?!? strange... |

optimus, as for your 2nd post
the problem is not with asking permission. if you collect demos on a dvd, and release it for free u dont need for ask for permission, but things become different when you charge money for it. |

This is the E-mail I got from them months ago:
"
hello,
please help me! sorry, but only this e-mail i had found and
i don't know if it is good.
--------------------------------------------------------
we made a DVD of the best Commodore Plus4 demos in 2005,
and it was quite successful so we decided to make a new
one from the best COMMODORE64 demos.
The only things missing from it are some commentaries to
the demos.
SPHAERISTERIUM
we'd like to ask you to write commentaries as your demo(s)
was/were selected to be part of this collection.
Please let us know as soon as possible if you want to
join this project. (PLEASE JOIN !!!)
If you are interested in the C+4 DVD, log on to
http://plus4.emucamp.com/features.php?id=9
for more information.
we thought yours subtitles should include information
about technical details or members of the group but the
main point is to make it interesting. OF COURSE YOUR
COMMENTS SHOULD BE IN ENGLISH.
If you need the timeline for timing your comments please
write an e-mail to me and I will send it to you with
details on how many lines should write.
Thank You very much, and please answer me ASAP!

I never answered it, and never forwarded it. Still! according to the DVD cover there are subtitles to the demo created by the creators of the demo?!?
As some sort of comfort I can say that I'm lucky we didn't have a starfield effect because those doesn't compress very well in MPG2... :D |

I don't know about the others but have to say that the idear of demos as avi is a bit disturbing. Because as u said Oswald the demos were coded and swapped for free. Ok it would be nice they ask permission, but don't u think it would it's nice when u can get a nice archive on dvd which was prepared with care? As Optims said some people can't download such a tremendos archieve. |

a, the dvd has about 16 demos recorded into video.
b, if you download the disk images this takes about 5 meg.
c, this is not a tremendous archive
b, if I spend _LONG_ months of work to entertain the scene for FREE, why is it ok for someone else to ask money for collecting that free work ?
Do you really DONT SEE thats there's no difference in doing a demo and doing a dvd ? If I would spread my demos on a DVD it would be okay for asking money for it, if I spread it on the net it is not okay?
You're falling in the trap thinking, that if someone's work is in a REAL material, it is ok ask money for, and if someone's work is just a file on the net, then it should be no money asked for. |
