This is something SS and Blah need to work out with Chudah. No need for anyone else to even get involved.

Quoted for absolute truth.
I can understand why Chudah would have the intention to close her site - I know I would do the same if I spent countless hours coding a database that had 400 soundtrack listings, complete with tracklists and scans, and all of it was stolen by another website. What I DON'T understand is why Chudah decided NOT to contact SS or Blah, but rather, publically announce the closure of her site and create a drama shitstorm. She could have kept the website open while she would then email GFA coordinators and if we didn't reply or we weren't reasonable, then she would have all reason to close down. But this is not the case.
It's unfortunate that some people aren't willing to work things out privately and instead start drama just to see what happens (looking at you, Zane).
But then there's the other side of the issue - Chudah's work is indeed copyrighted according to disclaimers posted on the pages of the site (I am assuming she ripped most of the album scans and translated most of the tracklistings herself. Correct me if I'm wrong). I think it was a serious mistake on our part that we didn't ask Chudah for permission to use her resources. But that's in the past anyway. What matters now is that SS and Blah are going to try to work something out with Chudah.
I hope for the best.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
