Dear Cory and Curtis Brandstetter... · 12:06pm May 17th, 2013
You are forbidden from using my music in your game, and as security to make sure you don't call my music your own, I am uploading them to Soundcloud so you cannot do this. Not to mention I have the FL Studio projects themselves, and you only have crappy mp3s, so you'd be pretty stupid to try anything in the first place. I am watching your game blog. This (my not letting you use them or my not making any future ones) wouldn't have happened if you hadn't cut me from the Skype groups to do with development of said game. Now I will not make any songs for you.
Posting this here to deter any plagiarism thoughts you guys may be having, seeing as what you did has caused you guys to lose all my trust (you know, cutting me from the game development without even telling me, just a 'Such-and-such removed you from the conversation' message from Skype. Nicely done, very polite). Here's the game's Tumblr (so others see what this is about), and here's my Soundcloud and proof. Good day.
Sincerely, DaemoN67.
EDIT: For everyone else, what was happening was the two mentioned in title got me involved in making a pony video game. I was going to make some background music, and the group of four others and I talked over Skype in a total of two groups that I was in with them. I sent a couple of songs, then Curtis kicked me out of both the groups without even saying goodbye, so I'm posting this because I am peeved and I don't want them stealing my music. Cory went as far as to remove me as a contact as well, but the other two (I don't mean Curtis) haven't wronged me yet, and will go unnamed.
wat?

A few people banded together to make a poni game, and I was gonna make a few songs for the soundtrack of said game. They got a couple of songs out of me (albeit not quite suitable for BGM), then cut me out of the Skype groups based around the development of the game. I'm posting this so they don't steal my music.

Not in the mood.
1086841 Okay.
It's a shame they decided to cut you off, they are actually pretty good songs.
Not for plain ol' listening, but as something in the background? Perfect. They have enough energy in them for the player to notice them, but they wouldn't be powerful enough to completely steal the player's attention.
This is one of the things that irk me the most.
Well that was a jerk move on their part, easy to see why your pissed.
1086932 He sexually harassed one of our co workers. That was why we removed him.
1086776 We wont steal your music. We banned you because you said some sexually explicit things to one of our co workers.
1087058 oh dear. So that's the reason.
1087119 yep Curtis was supposed to tell him but he didn't. Deamo if you reading this I apologize on Curtis's behalf for failing to let you know. WE promise not to use your music.
1086776 They can still give you credit, but if that's the problem then it is possible to call copyright claims and have the game taken down. I'm not really sure how it works but yeah. I don't recommend doing what I say though.
1087210 we aren't using any of his music. WE are using another artist. also we banned him from the project because he sexually harassed one of our co workers.
1087341
I wouldn't say it was harassment... seeing as we were both laughing...
1088019 He told me otherwise.
1088039
Then he's fucking stupid.
If he didn't like what we were talking about (and it really seemed as if he didn't mind, and the way we were both talking didn't seem to me like I was harassing him), he could have said 'stop, too far' or something.
1088045 then why did he complain to us. From what I am seeing here is that we didn't really get the whole picture. I am sorry if i did anything rash I will definitely talk to Curtis about this.
1088050
After that, we talked about religion, then RC cars. Note the part where he DIDN'T say "I'm uncomfortable with this, please stop" or something of the like.
1088064 Thanks I will be sure to show Curtis this. Hopefully he will unblock you from the chat
1088071
I am uninterested in helping with your game now.
1088077 I wasn't talking about the game chat I was talking about the social chat.
1088084
Because I totally want to talk with you guys.
1088090 Look is there any way we can fix this mess that was created.
1088094
Well, see, I am... how do you say it... ? Pissed at you all? Yeah, that's it. And putting me back in the chat is hardly the way to make up for FancyPants saying I was harassing him, and whichever one of you removing me from the project without checking the chat OR EVEN FUCKING TELLING ME I WAS DROPPED.
1088102 Deamon, They messed up, and I can understand you wanting to not work with them anymore, but you're straying VERY far from the nature of being a brony.
1088151
I love and tolerate, but I have trouble forgiving.
1088155 Well, tolerate the fuck out of them. There is no reason to be mad at any one but Curtis right now.
1088094 Cory, do you have the chat logs of Fancy telling Curtis that he felt harassed?
1088094
From your game blog.
It was in the one chat. And it wasn't private. It was the one that you all were in.
Again, he never asked me to stop.
1088157
1088169
It. Was. In. The. Public. Chat. You can all see it.
1088177
1088179
He. Never. Asked. Me. To. Stop.
And how the hell am I scary?
1088163 1088169 Okay, what I'm seeing here from that chat log, is not Fancy saying ANYTHING about sexual harassment.
Unless I'm reading this wrong, then the only problem was between Deamon and Fancy.
There was no sexual harassment claim, not reason for a removal, not even a reason for any one to be mad/angry/have their jimmies rustled, besides Fancy and Deamon.
1088183 look he told us that he really felt uncomfortable. The reason why he never said it to you outright was because he was just trying to be polite.
1088188 man I really goofed. Again sorry if I did anything rash
1088189
ಠ_ಠ
Then that's his own silly fault for being too polite to tell me he was uncomfortable.
1088199 I'm talking with 1088188 right now
I'm going to fix this
1088199 Look I tried my best to resolve the issue and it came crashing and burning right in front of me. I am sorry ok.
