How will this be enforced in more vague cases? For example a member of the BNG or QAT can just set a donation goal on stream, and then when he reaches the goal he will make a map from a song that will be chosen from a poll that is voted on by followers. Does this still count as doing a commission as it is technically not done directly and would be unknown without proper context?

No but the can't publicly advertise their commissions thus will be getting a lot less requests
An obligation to say (in map desc or something) if the map was a commission or not would be nice. Lying about that kind of thing now has serious consequences and ahould have a harsh penalty.squirrelpascals wrote:
I also think the uncertainty of wether or not a map is commissioned should be addressed.
Other than that awesome change! Hope this gets extended to more of the community in the future

I seriously can't believe it and am truly shocked. So this is what the mapping community has come to? Thats what happens when people get drunk on their fame.
Is this confirmation that BN's/QAT's are part of the osu! team? Because for the longest time they have simply been seen as regular community members with some privileges.osu!team wrote:
To this end, we have decided that all members of any osu! team involved in the ranking process (e.g. Beatmap Nominators, Quality Assurance Team, etc) will be explicitly forbidden from undertaking or participating in paid modding, ranking OR beatmapping commissions while they retain their role on the team.
Are there any differences between this rule and regular map submission rules? Just asking because you guys are specifically talking about commissions now.osu!team wrote:
So it comes down to this: we ask that all individuals who undertake commissioned work to do so tastefully, with utmost respect given to the license/rights-holders of any works involved in the creation of a beatmap - this includes obtaining proper licensing/clearance for all media/art/etc involved.
Main reason I'm asking is because this rule basically says that as a rule we should have permission to use content involved.Community Rules wrote:
1. Make sure you have permission to use any content involved in your beatmap. This includes songs, videos, hit sounds, graphics, and any other content that isn't your own creation. If you are unsure of where to find content that is free to use, we have a growing library of tracks available at the Featured Artist listing, all 100% licensed for use in osu!.
If only all people there were thinking like you, that would be a good step backward that would prevent this game from self destruction.Come[Back]Home wrote:

Simple. You're infringing copyright thus violating the ToS, but it's not osu! stuff fault or obligation to check every your submission because they believe in your fair use of the service. In general osu! is protected by DMCA, you're kindly protected by osu! stuff by removing your uploads that was claimed with DMCA. In any case of huge leak in this chain you will be taking all legal implications, but keep in mind that probability meteorite will fall on your house is higher.Monstrata wrote:
Personally, I will cease all mapping commissions officially. But my concerns are now less about commissions and more about simply uploading maps in general. I'm not trying to shade the osu!team, I really think these are legitimate issues we need to consider now more than ever. I've even heard Larto quit osu because he feared legal ramifications due to mapping popular songs.
Yes, but according to the DMCA limitations:Sieg wrote:

On the topic- I hope this will end with nicely asking people to remove any notes about commissions on their socials rather than checking legal permissions.
osu! is only free of blame if it is not aware of infringing activity. Otherwise, if it is aware of such infringing activity, it has an obligation to remove this material.17 U.S. Code § 512 - Limitations on liability relating to material online wrote:
(c) Information Residing on Systems or Networks At Direction of Users.—
(1)In general.—A service provider shall not be liable for monetary relief, or, except as provided in subsection (j), for injunctive or other equitable relief, for infringement of copyright by reason of the storage at the direction of a user of material that resides on a system or network controlled or operated by or for the service provider, if the service provider—
(A)
(i) does not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing;
(ii) in the absence of such actual knowledge, is not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent; or
(iii) upon obtaining such knowledge or awareness, acts expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material;
(B) does not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to the infringing activity, in a case in which the service provider has the right and ability to control such activity; and
(C) upon notification of claimed infringement as described in paragraph (3), responds expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity.
Replace "Mapping" with "Painting" or "Drawing" or "Art" in general.Cherry Blossom wrote:

This question still ringing on my head. How is it possible to know its for commission? Should we become spy?Princess Kisses wrote:
