Regarding the Ruby Quest Album...
13 years ago
Well the album is (technicly) finished and is ready to be post around in it's intirety. Now I have a sort of dilehma on my hands and I was hoping that you guys could help me out.
You see from the beginning of making this album I was wanting to put it on band camp (a site from whcih people can sell their albums). The incintive being that when purchased, the album comes with five bonus songs. Well, as I started to post these things onto here and youtube, I am not sure if that's an entirely good Idea. You see, since these can be just downloaded pretty easily for free, I don't think anyone would really want to by it, even though it comes with seven extras. And also, if I did put it on band camp, would there be anything I'd have to do to the songs themselves in order for them to sell? Like make them all .wma files or something? There's also the issue of legality since not only is the music based off of
the_weaver's work and then the album art is
rachel1987's work. I'll have to ask both of them for an okay.
So what do you lot think? Should I sell it, or should it just stay the way it is?

I would recommend against it though, because of the fact you're using art by someone else.
There's always the option to say "Hey, you could always donate if you like..." ;)
So yes. That is my two cents.
I'd still recommend talking to the person who created the artwork though, regardless of whether you use it commercially...
