Using unobtainable VX Ace busts

[CrazyCrab]

Hi everyone,

Umm, this is a bit of a tricky question... someone put up the ''preorder'' busts up as he wanted to share them with everyone (Vx Ace) Seeing how they're impossible to get anymore, is getting them that way illegal? People are saying it's cool, but I want to make sure for IGMC. On one hand, I bought Vx Ace so I ''should'' have access to Vx Ace content... on the other hand I didn't buy the preorder version. That said other games / programs offer the pre order package separately later on and if it was available for purchase then it surely would be illegal to get it this way, but it's not.

Well, I'm confused. Any ideas? I was hoping to use them in IGMC, they look really neat.

Thanks!

I'm interested in this too.

These busts are pretty good.

Technically, you did have to purchase these to have rights to use them. Staff have also recently brought up that anything pulled out of circulation (ie, if the original/official site of a bunch of resources were to close down), then asking for them here would not be allowed. Given those, I'd assume you may just be out of luck here.

I'm interested in this too, because if they say no, then there will be a domino effect on pulled resources. The reason I say this is *every* bust set I've ever seen released for the RTP uses those busts, and many of them claim free to use commercially and non-commercially.

If staff says no, I think grandamadeb will need to update her busts lists and pull many links (as last time I looked, they linked to these busts), just for starters.

Yeah, thats how I feel too. I've seen a lot of neat busts out there, even some semi-official ones (as in resource staff) who use these as a base. So, well, being able to use those and not these is a bit of a weird situation to say the least.

Alternatively just put them up for sale as a late DLC. I'll buy them day one. Do put them up before friday though. ^^'

I'll look into it and let you know tomorrow or Wednesday (yes, I know there's a deadline, but the decision isn't mine alone).

Ok, great. Thank you The problem is that many busts that are ''commercial use allowed'' use these as a foundation, so a general rule sticked somewhere on the forums would be very helpful.
