Yet another fan's thoughts about The Silver Lining

[kindofdoon]

Perhaps they could release the soundtrack for every episode as they come out.

For the demo, all the sound files were located in the program files, but for the release of Episode 1, all the data was contained in some file called "data.tsl" or something. Curses!

Why let that stop you? You could just

Let's be clear on something here: everybody will get a chance at the soundtrack, but we don't allow our property to be distributed by third parties.  We're expected to keep as much control as possible over the distribution of TSL assets, so if we find that people are distributing the game (or any of the game's code, music, etc.) without our permission then the user responsible will face action up to being banned from these forums.  Just because we're distributing the game for free doesn't mean we're giving blanket permission to pirate any part of it.

just beeing banned? that doesn't sounds severe

It's about as severe as we can get, but hopefully it'll act as a good deterrent.  Being kicked out of such a fine community simply because you persist in breaking the rules of that community?  It's quite easy to not get banned, just have fun, be respectful, and follow the rules.

Of course not. Even if I could get it (never said that I could), I wouldn't go sending it to anyone.

[wilco64256]

Right - if you're just playing around with it on your own that's totally fine (if you're playing with the files by yourself and not saying anything about it we wouldn't know anyway), it's just necessary for us to do what we can to keep people from actually distributing modifications.

As long as you guys release the soundtrack eventually, I'll be copacetic. I would probably prefer the soundtrack after all the episodes are released anyway.
