So let me get this straight?

Scott's been taking down FNAF related songs?



Alright I figured I hear from the Horse's mouth since he is a well groomed stallion of superior breeding and comes to this spot for a drink of water. It's a mighty fine drinking hole and this equine has good tastes.



Scott's a horse now... naw I'm just kidding, it's actually true that Scott mutated into a rabbit upon exposed to a reality virus from a parallel universe that's probably ruled by the rat king, but no one but Scott can tell because of a 4 Dimensional Quantum Barrier surrounding his body like a Reality Distortion Field That's not important right now.



What is, is that... wait he's taking down Fan Songs?



I'm pretty sure that falls under fair use. It's not like they ripped the game's soundtrack saying "THESE ARE THE HITS!", it's music with completely original instrumentals with lyrics based on events from the game. (and even if they did.... FNAF World is the only one with original music... The Toreador March, Pop Goes The Weasel, Grandfather's Clock, London Bridges are all public domain. The other musics were either licensed by a company that specifically works with Indie Developers and Filmmakers.. I know because I learned about them when they asked to put ads up on my "Chipper And Sons" Let's Play or they're public domain sound effects from a public domain source (Like. Mangle's Static)



Are you telling me Crush 40 needs to pay up for doing "Sonic Youth", or that Three Doors Down needs to pay DC over "Kryptonite", perhaps Scrubs is in violation because their themesong is "I'm No Superman" or am I missing something?



The key to any successful franchise is good relations with the fanbase and that means not punishing the fans for liking a product. You're normally a pretty good egg Scott, a very humble man who is not an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. I just wanted to make sure everything's okay and that you hadn't gone completely insane and turned into a Hollywood Suit And Tie. (Believe me, I think way too highly of you as a developer for me to ever wanna see that)





-Just Throwing It Out There For The Record-



If I made a game set in the Old West with Steampunk Animal Enertainers with a villain responsible for them being irate themed off the colors Purple and Gold and called it "Five Nights At Steven's", "High Noon At Steven's" and put that ♥♥♥♥ on Steam and Wii-U for 5 bucks... oh yeah, I owe you some cash in that regard



However if I had filed off the serial numbers well enough and called it "Highnoon Horror" or "Sasparilla Steampunk Synths"..... you could sue me about as well as Capcom could have sued the developers of "The Ring:Terror's Realm", "Deep Fear", or "Carrier" because they're similar to Resident or as well as Rockstar could have sued the creators of "Saint's Row", "The Godfather:The Game", or as well as the guy who made Space Invaders sued over "Galaga" "Life Force" "Demon Wars" "Action 52" "1993 Space Machine" "Radical Roach" "Star Fox"..... every "Fly a ship and gun down anything that shows up on screen."



And finally, Oddworld Inhabitants would be kidding itself if it tried to sue over "Pikmin" or "Overlord" or any game ever with an escourt mission that includes "Wait" and "Follow Me" commands (like Resident Evil 4). Even if it did patent the "GameSpeak" system, all they meant was that issuing commands to teammates couldn't legally be called "GameSpeak"



Technically Chuck E. Cheese could have sued you (Defamation, considering the Nathan Dunlap case in which five people were murdered at a Chuck E. Cheese... well four and one wounded survivor... they may even have a case with "Slander and Libel" on top of it if they thought the parallels were a little too close.) for making a game that basically paints their entire business model as being dangerous to children and opening them up to predators. Yet they didn't... because you can argue "Fair Use" and "Parody"... much like the people who wrote the songs can if you sued them in court.



(Seriously, if Hasbro can't sue successfully sue "Living Tombstone" over "Discord", "Luna", "Rainbow Factory", "Loyalty", "The ♥♥♥♥♥ Bard" or "Good Ol' Days".... there's no way in hell you're doing it over "Got No Time", "Die In A Fire", or "It's Been So Long"... "Five Nights At Freddy's" (his first song), there's some leeway on because it shares a title.)



I mean it's not like they sang "Bear Necessities" or "Let It Go" and put it on an Album entitled "Walt Disney Classics As Sung By!" or went "Pay me 5 bucks, and you can listen to me sing 'Giggle At The Ghosties!'".... even then I'm not sure what the legal rules are on covers.



Oh and if anyone made a fangame about my Wild West "FNAF Game", I could only ask that they credit me in addition to you, as if I took a picture of this post then I automatically have proof the idea originated with me.



If they took the idea I listed and tried to sell it, me and Scott would be calling each other on the phone in order to make sure we didn't wear the same thing to the Plantiff Table because that would just make us look tacky.
