I say do what the international copyright laws say to do: ask the
copyright owner for the use. ;)
I don't personally believe that Falcom would allow it. I don't really
think any other would allow it, either. Yeah, TelNet isn't making money
on Valis so why would they care if you translate Valis 4 to English?
Well probably because they AREN'T MAKING ANY MONEY on hardly anything,
surely not the way they were ten years ago. Please note that the caps I
inserted there were to make a point, not because I'm peeved or
anything, and I am bringing this up because of the way you responded to
Zeograd, who I believe was only trying to point out how you cannot say
anything about how another person or entity may wish to legally and
financially protect their property without asking. said person or
entity. I think he's as hip to a good idea as you or I, but if it isn't
public domain then we cannot presume exemption from culpability or even
escape from notice.
