People actually took money to map something? Really makes you look different at those persons. Mapping is supposed to be for the fun part, and not for money or fame. 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.<\/blockquote>\n\nWhile I agree with the ruling, I can't help but be bothered by posts like this. Taking money for doing something you are good at and enjoy is not only normal, it is something practically every content creator does. It's not just people who draw art, all kinds of content creators take money for the work and effort they put into a piece of content in some form or other, be it through Patreon, Youtube ads, Twitch subs, or anything else.\n\nWhat really impresses me about the ruling is that it does not outright ban commissions, it bans making money off of the backs of others' works. This is good, because this is how it works in most places as well. Unless you fall under Fair Use you need the artist's permission in some form or other in order to make money off of their work.\n\nMy point is, while I'm sure there's very shady things to take commission for, saying \"Mapping is supposed to be for the fun part, and not for money or fame.\" is horribly lopsided considering the amount of effort some mappers put into their maps. If someone is willing to pay them for it, and they don't abuse either the system or other artist's work in the process, there is nothing wrong with them accepting that payment.\n\nOne good use case I could see for this would be an up and coming artist paying a very popular mapper to map their song so it could gain attention. This is a form of ment and would be perfectly fair imo.\n\nAnd don't forget that while this is a free game, osu!er is practically the same as Patreon. Mappers are content creators for osu just like programmers are, so I don't see why one form is appalling while the other isn't.\n\nJust my 2c.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n [Shiny]<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 153 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed June 2014<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n [Shiny]<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:12:54+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n This won't stop the ranking mafia at all, but a first step (at least to try to) like this is always welcome.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n Last edited by [Shiny]<\/a> 2018-12-12T18:15:02+00:00<\/time>, edited 1 time in total.\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n Remyria<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 364 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed June 2012<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Remyria<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:15:25+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n nice<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n elke_<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 62 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed June 2018<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n elke_<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:29:29+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n Thank you so, so much for this.<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n \n hypercyte<\/a>\n\n \n Elite Mapper\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 741 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed October 2016<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n hypercyte<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:30:59+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n nice<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n My ranked maps \/ GDs<\/a><\/strong> || MyAnimeList<\/a> || BN Log<\/a> || Discord Server<\/a> || Twitter<\/a><\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Nikolai<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 584 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed December 2014<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Nikolai<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:35:51+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n lmao<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n jeanbernard8865<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 600 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed December 2014<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n jeanbernard8865<\/a>\n\n \n 2018-12-12T18:36:00+00:00<\/time>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n why<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n \n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n Bakuretsue<\/a>\n\n \n \n \n \n \n <\/span>\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n 67 posts\n <\/a>\n <\/div>\n\n \n ed October 2017<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n \n 172j73
