It's bin troubling me....The reson why i ask this is becouse. I submited an Anime story to gonzo entertainment They were interested. but then they asked me something odd through e-mail.......They wanted to know if i knew any sites that are letting people DL music from anime series they released both from JP abd america..When i asked why they said they lost 13-20% of there profets from people DL free music. THis other site i go to however i pay 20$ every 2 months for the music. Im not a tatle tail or anything this is just under my coireosity ....... So basicly what im asking is.........uuummmmmmmm Is this site authorized for people to DL music from Bandai,Gonzo,Funimation Etc? ...........A question like this could get me banded right? |

1) Questions don't get you banned. I can't imagine a question (unless asked in a _very_ stupid manner, like swearing a lot) that could get you banned. 2) The music that is hosted on Gendou is not licensed, for if it were, Gendou.com would not host it. Music from InuYasha, for example, is licensed, and therefore cannot be held here. From my understanding (and I'll probably believe anything to the contrary) everything here is legal to download. |

Staight from the terms of use, "All mp3 files are for evaluation purposes only. Music downloaded from this website must be deleted after 24 hours. This website is here to provide samples of songs, not to replace the need to buy CDs. If you like the song, support the artist and buy the CD! I have made an effort to include author and album information for this reason. Music on this website shall be removed once it comes to my attention that it has been licensed in the United States." It's not legal to keep songs you download for more than 24 hours, plain and simple. As for licensing, all anime music on this site is licensed in one or more countries. If it's licensed in the US gendou will pull it down, mainly 'cause the US is anal about it's own licensed music. It doesn't care about other peoples' though. Just like you aren't able to host pornographic material in a publically accessable website in the US, but set up the server in Canada or someplace else and you're in the loophole. I seriously doubt there's a guy sitting in the NSA looking for this site saying, "Just you wait my pretty, I'll get you and your songs too." Doubtful, especially with things such as limewire which account for aproximatly $1-2miilion in downloads a month. To be perfectly honest, 13-20% is a good ammount if you make $6billion a year, but somehow I only see the anime music department bringing about $1miilion in the US. I do however own 12 anime CD's, and have 276 downloads(but only ~150 songs, ~125 retries). I support my local brick-and-mortar as well as my not-so-local anime composers. I usually will only download songs that I can't find, or only want a single not a whole CD. That's just me. I think what I said is right, not sure though. If I am wrong, sorry to mislead you guys. |

Ouch.............................................................................. § 501. Infringement of copyright3 (a) Anyone who violates any of the exclusive rights of the copyright owner as provided by sections 106 through 122 or of the author as provided in section 106A(a), or who imports copies or phonorecords into the United States in violation of section 602, is an infringer of the copyright or right of the author, as the case may be. For purposes of this chapter (other than section 506), any reference to copyright shall be deemed to include the rights conferred by section 106A(a). As used in this subsection, the term "anyone" includes any State, any instrumentality of a State, and any officer or employee of a State or instrumentality of a State acting in his or her official capacity. Any State, and any such instrumentality, officer, or employee, shall be subject to the provisions of this title in the same manner and to the same extent as any nongovernmental entity. (b) The legal or beneficial owner of an exclusive right under a copyright is entitled, subject to the requirements of section 411, to institute an action for any infringement of that particular right committed while he or she is the owner of it. The court may require such owner to serve written notice of the action with a copy of the complaint upon any person shown, by the records of the Copyright Office or otherwise, to have or claim an interest in the copyright, and shall require that such notice be served upon any person whose interest is likely to be affected by a decision in the case. The court may require the joinder, and shall permit the intervention, of any person having or claiming an interest in the copyright. (c) For any secondary transmission by a cable system that embodies a performance or a display of a work which is actionable as an act of infringement under subsection (c) of section 111, a television broadcast station holding a copyright or other license to transmit or perform the same version of that work shall, for purposes of subsection (b) of this section, be treated as a legal or beneficial owner if such secondary transmission occurs within the local service area of that television station. (d) For any secondary transmission by a cable system that is actionable as an act of infringement pursuant to section 111(c)(3), the following shall also have standing to sue: (i) the primary transmitter whose transmission has been altered by the cable system; and (ii) any broadcast station within whose local service area the secondary transmission occurs. (e) With respect to any secondary transmission that is made by a satellite carrier of a performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission and is actionable as an act of infringement under section 119(a)(5), a network station holding a copyright or other license to transmit or perform the same version of that work shall, for purposes of subsection (b) of this section, be treated as a legal or beneficial owner if such secondary transmission occurs within the local service area of that station. (f)(1) With respect to any secondary transmission that is made by a satellite carrier of a performance or display of a work embodied in a primary transmission and is actionable as an act of infringement under section 122, a television broadcast station holding a copyright or other license to transmit or perform the same version of that work shall, for purposes of subsection (b) of this section, be treated as a legal or beneficial owner if such secondary transmission occurs within the local market of that station. (2) A television broadcast station may file a civil action against any satellite carrier that has refused to carry television broadcast signals, as required under section 122(a)(2), to enforce that television broadcast station's rights under section 338(a) of the Communications Act of 1934. § 502. Remedies for infringement: Injunctions (a) Any court having jurisdiction of a civil action arising under this title may, subject to the provisions of section 1498 of title 28, grant temporary and final injunctions on such terms as it may deem reasonable to prevent or restrain infringement of a copyright. (b) Any such injunction may be served anywhere in the United States on the person enjoined; it shall be operative throughout the United States and shall be enforceable, by proceedings in contempt or otherwise, by any United States court having jurisdiction of that person. The clerk of the court granting the injunction shall, when requested by any other court in which enforcement of the injunction is sought, transmit promptly to the other court a certified copy of all the papers in the case on file in such clerk's office. § 503. Remedies for infringement: Impounding and disposition of infringing articles (a) At any time while an action under this title is pending, the court may order the impounding, on such terms as it may deem reasonable, of all copies or phonorecords claimed to have been made or used in violation of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, and of all plates, molds, matrices, masters, tapes, film negatives, or other articles by means of which such copies or phonorecords may be reproduced. (b) As part of a final judgment or decree, the court may order the destruction or other reasonable disposition of all copies or phonorecords found to have been made or used in violation of the copyright owner's exclusive rights, and of all plates, molds, matrices, masters, tapes, film negatives, or other articles by means of which such copies or phonorecords may be reproduced. § 506. Criminal offenses5 (a) Criminal Infringement. - Any person who infringes a copyright willfully either - (1) for purposes of commercial advantage or private financial gain, or (2) by the reproduction or distribution, including by electronic means, during any 180-day period, of 1 or more copies or phonorecords of 1 or more copyrighted works, which have a total retail value of more than $1,000, shall be punished as provided under section 2319 of title 18, United States Code. For purposes of this subsection, evidence of reproduction or distribution of a copyrighted work, by itself, shall not be sufficient to establish willful infringement. (b) Forfeiture and Destruction. - When any person is convicted of any violation of subsection (a), the court in its judgment of conviction shall, in addition to the penalty therein prescribed, order the forfeiture and destruction or other disposition of all infringing copies or phonorecords and all implements, devices, or equipment used in the manufacture of such infringing copies or phonorecords. (c) Fraudulent Copyright Notice. - Any person who, with fraudulent intent, places on any article a notice of copyright or words of the same purport that such person knows to be false, or who, with fraudulent intent, publicly distributes or imports for public distribution any article bearing such notice or words that such person knows to be false, shall be fined not more than $2,500. (d) Fraudulent Removal of Copyright Notice. - Any person who, with fraudulent intent, removes or alters any notice of copyright appearing on a copy of a copyrighted work shall be fined not more than $2,500. (e) False Representation. - Any person who knowingly makes a false representation of a material fact in the application for copyright registration provided for by section 409, or in any written statement filed in connection with the application, shall be fined not more than $2,500. (f) Rights of Attribution and Integrity. - Nothing in this section applies to infringement of the rights conferred by section 106A(a). But if you realy make them mad get ready for a $150,000 law-suit Big ouch............... But i dont think this site commeted any of these crimes right? And no one is paying attention to what im saying............What I mean is does this site have permission from the authers who made it to go on this site? I know the U.S lissensed the anime but that wasn't the question. |
