[3/20] S/mileage 13th single "Tabidachi no Haru ga Kita"

[Moh]

omg I even like the b-side, WHAT IS GOING ON?

[Amped]

Thanks for the Radio Preview. Uploaded it to youtube

thats nice that you're thanking me, but did you even use my rip? if you did, did you use my rip and then edit the stuff out? i leave the introductions in the rip for a reason

[LiamMusume]

Oh sorry! Want me to reupload it with the introductions?

[Amped]

nevermind. just don't edit my rips.

[LiamMusume]

I am really sorry, I won't edit them out anymore

[Starra]

It's really not that big of a deal tbh.

The intro/outro proves that it's a radio rip and not simply pirated. Moreover, the intro/outro helps to give credit to the specific station and program that ran the preview, as well as to the members of S/mileage who appeared on the program. And finally, in Amped's case, I'm pretty sure that he wants it to be clear that it's his clip being used. He made the effort to download the program, pull out the clip, and post it for the rest of us. Editing it even further and then reposting it somewhere else makes it seem like an entirely new clip, regardless of whether LiamMusume thanked him for it.

So yeah, it's a big deal.

I'm sure LiamMusume didn't mean any harm by it. Let's just move on.

I like Doshiyou a lot more than S/mileage's last few c/ws.

[Celedam]

That was for Starra, not LiamMusume.

And frankly, I'm surprised that Sohee would agree with Starra, considering how upset Sohee gets (and rightly so) when other people steal her translations.

It's not that hard to download a radio show, rip the song and upload it. Depending on your Internet speed, it takes maybe 10 minutes.

If credit is given I really don't see the issue. Besides, piracy is piracy anyway. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally never download radio rips. I listen to them once, then wait until the single/album is released to download it because generally radio rips aren't decent quality (which isn't anyone's fault).

Also, before anyone says anything, I can't afford to buy stuff at the moment. It's expensive to ship things over here, and I'd much rather spend the little money I do have on, say, food. If I ever get rich (lol yeah right), I'm gonna buy the shit out of H!P releases. I want to own everything. I just... can't right now.
