Game Music Themes distributes materials consisting of derivative works of copyrighted music. We believe that Fair Use allows us to do this because:
The purpose of the materials, which may be downloaded for free, is to educate people on how to play the music found in some video games.
The original copyrighted works are pieces of music from which we are not directly copying any part; we listen to them and write down their notes, creating
never-before-seen sheet music so as they can be played on an instrument.
As far as we are aware, our arrangements are different from the few ones that are commercially available, which we encourage our visitors to buy. No one
is going to give as a present a bunch of printed sheets from this site. In fact, we believe that websites like Game Music Themes are driving and increasing demand for
official products related to game audio.
If our materials have any effect upon the market of the original product then it must be a positive one, since we are directing the attention of the
public to this great music, sparking musical curiosity in the way on the younger segment of the population.
Still, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any of these materials infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a
notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing
(see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to

Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider (Game Music Themes) to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address;

owner, its agent, or the law; that the information in the notification is accurate; and, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right
that is allegedly infringed.
