About this FAQ > > o WHAT IS THIS FAQ FOR? > > This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is a companion to a set of FAQs > for the rec.arts.anime.music newsgroup and anime music in general. > It is intended to be a reference of basic information about the news > group, e.g. the kinds of topics that are intended. As a set, the > FAQs are intended as a reasonably accessible reference to basic > information about the news group, rec.arts.anime.music, and topics > that are frequently encountered as a fan progresses from novice to > "expert". They are posted once a month in rec.arts.anime.music. > > They are not by any means comprehensive, and are subject to the > changes of the times. Items that could do with more input are > tagged with "editor's note" and a note, delimited by '[' and ']'. > If you have any suggestions, corrections, or submissions, please > send them to me or post them in rec.arts.anime.music. > > This FAQ (Welcome to rec.arts.anime.music) provides general > information regarding the newsgroup rec.arts.anime.music, but > primarily regarding what are or aren't considered appropriate > topics for postings. See the other anime music FAQs for > music related information and glossary of terms typically > used in the newsgroup. > > o WHAT IS THE HISTORY OF THIS FAQ? > > This rec.arts.anime.music FAQ was originally created and maintained > by Steve Pearl, the moderator of rec.arts.anime.info, who saw the > need for introductory FAQs for many of the rec.arts.anime news groups > as they were being created in 1996. He maintained them until the > fall of 1998. > > In January of 2001, maintainance of this FAQ was assumed by the > current maintainer, and after significant revisions and updates, > regular posting resumed in March, 2001. Steve's entries are > attributed by [SP], or [SP,RI] where I've made significant changes. > > In May of 2003, the FAQ was split into two documents, one for > information about the newsgroup (this one) titled "Welcome to > REC.ARTS.ANIME.MUSIC" and one for anime music information titled > "Anime Music FAQ for REC.ARTS.ANIME.MUSIC".

In principle, discussions should be limited to > anime-related music, i.e. anime-related j-pop. But during the > discussions that resulted in creating this group, it was > acknowledged there was no Big-8 forum specific to J-pop, and that > given the choice between the ultra-general rec.music.misc and the > japanese orientation of rec.arts.anime.music, the latter would > probably be the prefered location. However, soc.culture.japan > explicitly allows discussion of J-pop, thus discussions of > J-pop in general should really be taken there if at all possible. > If there is ever a J-pop news group outside of rec.arts.anime, > the anime limitation should be be taken more seriously. > > o CAN I POST SOUND FILES TO REC.ARTS.ANIME.MUSIC? > > You shouldn't. Keep in mind that this is a discussion group. > Binaries, such as sound files, do not constitute discussion > (though they may be the subject of discussion). Furthermore, > there is a general policy for rec.* groups that binaries not be > posted in them. That applies to all rec.arts.anime news groups > except possibly rec.arts.anime.creative (consult the guidelines > there). If you need to distribute a sound file, either post to > one of the alt.binaries.sounds.* groups, or, better yet, put it > up on an FTP or web site, and then post the address in > rec.arts.anime.music. The same applies to image and video > files, as well as most files that are not human readable (e.g. > postscript is text, but it isn't human readable). > > Some possible alt.binaries.sounds.* groups you could use are: > > alt.binaries.sounds.anime > alt.binaries.sounds.jpop > alt.binaries.sounds.midi MIDI music files > alt.binaries.sounds.mods .MOD, .S3M, etc, music files > alt.binaries.sounds.cartoons Sound files related to animated features > alt.binaries.sounds.movies Movie-related sound files > alt.binaries.sounds.music > alt.binaries.sounds.tv Sound files from TV series > [SP,RI] > > Note: Not everyone gets these news groups, so don't be surprised > if you can't find it. > > o SO IT'S OK TO TALK ABOUT SOUND FILES AND TRADING THEM? > > Keep in mind that trading of sound files is usually a violation > of copyright laws, and some folks that read this news group view > this also as ethically inappropriate (it's piracy). You may not > want to advertise your trading activities in rec.arts.anime.music > if you do not want the criticism. > > Also, it has been pointed out that some law enforcement agencies > use the same newgroup servers as us ordinary folks. That means > whatever piracy/bootlegging postings we see, they can see. > > However, if you want to talk about sound files that you made for > yourself only (e.g. what your best compilation CD would be), > then you can probably chatter away with little criticism (you > may even be worshipped as the god of compilations). > > o HOW ABOUT MUSIC VIDEO OR COVER IMAGE FILES? > > As mentioned regarding sound files, the same policy and recommendations > for sound files applies to video and image files. It applies to all > types of files that can't be read by people as straight text. For > example, Postscript files are text files, but they can't be viewed > properly by simply reading the content. Many folks also consider HTML > as inappropriate for the same reason. But there is no question about > digitized audio/visual files, posting them is against policy. The only > types of "binaries" considered acceptable are small (a few lines worth) > PGP and similar encryption key/ID signatures. So no samples of your > music video handiwork, no images of CD covers for others to translate, > in this news group. > > o HOW DO I CREATE/POST SOUND FILES? > > How to post sound files is beyond the scope of this FAQ > (and rec.arts.anime.music). One of the alt.binaries.sounds > news groups might have an FAQ with this. > > o CAN I POST FOR SALE/FOR TRADE/AUCTION MESSAGES? > > You really shouldn't. The news group rec.arts.anime.marketplace > exists for just that purpose, and the general news group policy > is that if a group exists for a certain kind of posting, it > shouldn't be posted elsewhere. Furthermore, such postings aren't > really in the discussion category. Finally, surveys indicate > the majority of rec.arts.anime.* readers don't want them in any of > the groups except in rec.arts.anime.marketplace. > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > A.
