>>8074822>that's the only way it can exist on the internet without Daniel being sued to hell and back.Daniels original handshake agreement with Notch/Mojang meant he (Daniel) kept the rights to all of the music he did for the game while Notch/Mojang were simply allowed to use the music in-game (and for game promotion) as needed; This is what MS/Mojang then tried to change when they asked him to sign a formal contract that would have given MS/Mojang the exclusive rights to all of the music Daniel made for the game.
Daniel apparently didn't sign that contract and ended up walking away from the whole thing, but he's fortunately not one of those kinds of spiteful people that would have demanded MS/Mojang immediately stop using all of the music (and presumably any sound effects) he owns the rights to, which request could have destoyed the game in a heartbeat; hence why all his existing work is still in the game (presumably under the terms of the original handshake agreement), but MS/Mojang were then forced to start using other artists to make new music and sound effects - music that MS/Mojang own the exclusive rights too.
Because of this red hot mess though, presumably it means Daniel still owns the rights to what would have become Volume Gamma (or Volume 3), in which case there's nothing I can think of, other than maybe some residual PTSD from that whole contract debacle, that would stop Daniel from ever simply renaming the album (and all of the songs) and releasing the whole thing in its own right under different coverart rather than as anything even vaguely related to Minecraft.
