Hello everybody, welcome to yet another update.

While still brainstorming quite a lot recently in various projects, I've been also partly involved in this little thing here which had... pretty interesting consequences.

Well, what struck me more in that whole carnage was when I mentioned the existence of my old, perpetually inactive account KKSlider60. Like I've suddenly awakened the hidden depths of a collective consciousness buried beneath the moniker of "Newgrounds" at the mere calling of a closed chapter in my musical endeavor.

So without further ado, I felt like dedicating this newspost to that starting point I left here on our pale blue dot in favor of this one year old experience, to clear any previous doubts about a relic of identity.

Yes, I'm the same guy. Thank you very much.

Reasons are explained in the old account, following thanksies and free popsicles for everyone.

I'd like to spend some very terse words about the licensing concerning any track released here on Newgrounds, not just on this Forgotten Dawn channel.

The license is called Creative Commons and there are many variations of the same pie that allow producers to better target and protect their material. Here on Newgrounds, the applied license is CC 3.0 (Non-Commercial, Attribution, Share-Alike) which means in layman's terms that you can use the song of choice for your project AS LONG as you give credit to the respective author, and your final product must be NON PROFITABLE. Furthermore, you're free to share, remix and redistribute the chosen song however you wish.

Worth of mention is the fact that you don't need the author's permission for using his/her song...

...but it would still be nice to know, 'cause you know, it's still free and it takes literally 2 minutes to write a PM and say "Hey, can I use this in my absolutely amazing non-profit grand piece of craftsmanship?", which I will reply "Why sure, jolly gentleman!" coupled with a resounding pat on your shoulder.

Moreover, it doesn't matter if you make a single penny or a billion USD by selling my CC 3.0-licensed song, as well as it doesn't matter who you are, if the President of the United States or #1 Nice Guy in the World. By principle, you shouldn't. Full stop.

My, what a long post. So what have we learned in all of this?

That it's nice to read something once in a while.
