No; Joypad secures rights in order for artists to sell their material, while Bandcamp merely provides a platform for artists to sell and distribute material that, in essence, is of their own property. This release in particular I believe is part of Joypad, or perhaps Loudr.
But in all honestly, as I've said before, a doujin is a doujin regardless of "distributor", so it should be labeled as such. There should be an identifier implemented for whenever fanmade releases happen to be licensed.

I made that entry, but i am not sure this one was also released by Joypad Records.
If not, then it should be categorized as a Doujin. Also, the 3 CDs entry should be a Doujin, because i don't think Joypad Records have nothing to do with CD releases. |

Correct. Joypad only released the digital albums (World 1-2, World 1-2: Encore) on Loudr and other marketplaces.

GermanSeabass, would you happen to know if this one happens to have a catalog number, too? JOY-743, perhaps?
I was told that by someone who bought this, but I don't have any source to confirm it.

I see, it was released through Loudr, then.
Thanks.

I get what you mean, but, as far as Joypad/Loudr goes, by "securing rights", they not only ensure they can sell their material without problems, but also royalties from the sales of whatever album go to the original artist(s).
I agree with you, though; fan arrangements/remixes should be free regardless of anything that could otherwise stimulate a profit. By that same hand, I don't particularly have a problem if they use the "name your own price" provided by Bandcamp, as I've often found myself giving a little after TRULY enjoying what I heard, especially if I end up listening to the whole thing in one sitting. And yes, this doujin thing should be sorted out ASAP. But as far as I've seen, stuff never gets done around here, so... Dream a little dream.

IMO it's simple: unlicensed doujin is doujin. It's been that way since forever, right? The whole doujin scene would forego any scruples about intellectual property rights.
A licensed arrangement, even if by a "fan," is a horse of a different color. If you want to differentiate them from official releases by the rights-holders (like Square Enix releasing an FF OST), that's fine, but they *also* need to be differentiated from unlicensed arrangements. Sounds like vgmdb just needs to categorize doujin arrangements as licensed vs unlicensed. |

Truly, it isn't that hard: everything that is fanmade should be categorized as doujin (orange). If licensing happens to be the case, then have something to identify it, like the word "Licensed" or "Official" or any other derivative next to the "Publishing Format". For instance, either word could be added as an option in the second field of the "Release Type" when adding/editing an album. Like I said before, we shouldn't over-complicate this more than it, apparently, already is.
