Please make some carts in the future though, why not with some of your own tunes!]]>AFAIK he only owns the image - I don't think he was the one that created the meme and/or put the song on top
That is correct, I just took a moment to reeducate myself.
It still strikes me funny to think about how that all turned out, and remember what I was up to at the time.
]]>Wasn't some zelda dubstep remix comp one of bandcamp's top selling releases?
Selling covers is risky unless you're like a bar band. I doubt Nintendo would bat an eye, but who knows.
I'm talking about the hundreds of people selling Nintendo related plushes, posters, paintings, etc. around the world

There is a part of me thinking Torres is a douche canoe for appropriating a song that wasn't his, even if he did send it to worldwide fame, but we can't have other people making money off of a pop tart cat, can we?

Anyway this guy is trying to make money off of a copyrighted character and hoping nobody notices. How is this apples and oranges?

]]>Yes. That's my plan. I actually had a Zelda compilation in mind after the nyan cart, but I'd likely get the same reaction right? (I actually have several nsf covers of n64 zelda songs done.)
At least I was wise enough to leave all my NROM board unassembled, so I can utilize the remainder for a future project.
So I will continue on my cart EP. Should have enough memory for about 4 or 5 tunes. I could possibly get something like 7-8 if I refrain from using the noise channel to make my drums all Hi-Fi sounding, as I did in my nyan.nsf

]]>In principle, he seems to be okay with stuff like this but he probably wishes he'd have sold more copies of his CD. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005BUPTPU/
