[AndOne]

With the rules that we revised this year, youtube links are allowed unless they contains a download link in the description, since youtube doesn't officially allow downloading. Otherwise we'd have to warn everyone who posts a youtube video by the another band for example, that's pretty dumb. Radio edits are not official material if you can't buy them. Very simple, if you can buy it it's not allowed.

There are at least 2 very different versions, but no idea what games they are from version 1 that we got in 2008 has: drums, guitar, rhythm, song song contains the vocals and a few other things, like the shutter sample, that prevents it from being a perfect instrumental, not to mention that the drum track is weirdly mixed anyway. version 2 from 2011 or so has: kick, snare, cymbals, bass, guitar, vocals, extras. the vocals are clean in this one, but the background vocals are in the extras track. I don't understand why the first version is listed since the 2nd one is so much better. At least my version doesn't have the instrumental track you are talking about. It seems to me that someone just added this and it wasn't originally there. I also have a version of Given Up that is not listed here. Similar to OSC, one from 2008 with 5 tracks and from 2011 with 4 tracks

I forgot where I read it but besides the HDMI capture card you also need a device that removes the HDCP encryption from the HDMI signal. These are illegal, not that it matters lol, I saw that you can even buy one on Amazon, no link sorry I'd have to look it up, it just doesn't say in the official description that it's able to do that, that's another $50-60 I think. The encryption in both the VOD and TV is the thing what makes it all a true pain in the ass.
