== Celeste assets ==
== Celeste soundtrack ==
{{Q|If it's only embedded & not able to be downloaded I think that's ok. I've seen a few wikis like the undertale one with embedded tracks like that. for bit-rate, whatever feels right to them, 128kbps is probably fine for an embed?|[[Lena Raine]], to [[User:Celeste|Celeste ''(founder of this wiki)'']]}}
[[File:Proof of permission (lena raine).png|150px|thumb|Proof of permission (Celeste OST)]]
Celeste's soundtrack in this wiki is used with permission from Lena Raine. This permission has been granted indirectly, with [[Kevin Regamey]] acting as a middle-person whom contacted Lena Raine on [[User:Celeste|Celeste (admin)]]'s behalf. Proof has been attached in the screenshot shown on your right.
This permission does not extend to any covers of Celeste's soundtrack, or any part of it not used or intended for use in ''Celeste''. So, any covers of Celeste's OST are NOT covered by this permission. Implicitly, this permission refers to the OST, B-Sides OST, Farewell OST and Madeline's Grab Bag, nothing else.
All files for Celeste's OST on this wiki are ''obfuscated'', in order to comply with Lena Raine's wishes. No download link is provided, and won't be provided on demand either. No digital restrictions management is employed, because [[User:Celeste|Celeste (admin)]] believes that DRM is universally wrong; however, this does not give you an excuse for piracy. Celeste's soundtrack is ''not'' licensed under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, any other Creative Commons license, or any other provisions enabling the sharing of such files.
== Fair use media ==
<blockquote>;17 U.S.C. § 107
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 17 U.S.C. § 106 and 17 U.S.C. § 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
:# the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
:# the nature of the copyrighted work;
:# the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
:# the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/17/107.html |title=US CODE: Title 17,107. Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use |publisher=.law.cornell.edu |date=2009-05-20 |accessdate=2011-11-09}}</ref></blockquote>
'''Fair use''' concerns a limited number of cases in which non-free, "all-rights-reserved" media which is not directly related to ''Celeste'' may be uploaded onto the Celeste Wiki and used without the author's prior permission. These files must not be orphaned (must be used on at least one page), and must be used on a page in which the photo is '''relevant''' and '''irreplaceable'''. Fair use does not mean that you may freely upload any file without permission.
