Encouraging Scratchers to do illegal things on the SCRATCH WIKI? I don't think so!

Q: Can I use audio I got from YT to MP3 in my Scratch projects?
A: No. Using audio you got from YT to MP3 is illegal and is against YouTube's terms of use, even if you give credit.

To be fair, the Scratch Team doesn't really monitor where a Scratcher gets their audio from. They take the stance that Scratchers themselves have the responsibility to determine whether or not they have the right to use whatever assets are in their project. The idea that Scratchers should not use YT to MP3 converters was mainly spread by Scratchers who discovered this bit in YouTube's Terms of Service. I have never seen a Scratch Team member explicitly discourage others from using such converters (although, conversely, I have never seen them encourage it either).

In my mind, using a YT to MP3 converter carries the exact same risks as if you had found the exact same audio in an existing Scratch project. The worst thing that happens is that you get DMCA'd, at which point you just stop sharing the audio, and then you'd be good to go. I wouldn't really consider someone to be such a bad apple in these cases…

This is my forum signature! On a forum post, it is okay for Scratchers to advertise in their forum signature. The signature is the stuff that shows up below the horizontal line on the post. It will show up on every post I make.

I was a Scratch Team member from May 10th 2019 to October 29th 2021.

We do not allow articles about Scratchers

If anyone was curious why they couldn't edit in quick succession, this is because new rate limits for New Wikians are in place

A Scratch Team member removed them because they broke the community guidelines. They are in the inaccessible dustbin forum. It would be best if you stopped being rude to people.

if you don't allow articles about scratchers, then why do you have a (removed by moderator - please keep it polite) page on Kaj?

are there scratch wiki mods? (mod is short for moderator) if so, what do they do, and if not, why not?

Please calm down. Kaj is different because they are a huge part of Scratch history, we document Scratch's history so we document kaj

The Scratch Wiki is a collaboratively written wiki available for free that provides information about the Scratch programming language, its website, history and phenomena surrounding it.

We do have users with elevated permissions, EWs, Admins and Bureaucrats. I don't think they would always be considered moderators, I guess Bureaucrats and admins kind of moderate as they have the ability to block users, hide edit summaries etc. but we generally don't have too many issues for them to deal with. So to answer your question: Sort of but not really, not like the ST anyway

Man, I hope when you say “Bureaucrats”, you mean it in some scratch term…
