The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
I have a copy that I ripped, and I posted a thread about permission to share it - I doubt it'll happen if they want to sell it, though, and I'm not going to share it out otherwise.
It'd be great if I could share it, though, folks.

We are looking into what we can do. Remember that we have to make sure artists are protected. Just because a song is in a game does not mean that it is free to distribute those tracks. For instance, the credit song is going to be launched in a few months on a cd by that artist along with his other tracks.
It is frustrating to see the game media tangled in all of this licensing garbage.
I hope you guys have this more comprehensively managed beforehand with future releases. Valve and Jonathan Coulton handled this superbly with Still Alive, and the rest of the industry should be following that example.
When you have something as deliberately catchy as Still Alive, or I am Murloc, or You Have to Burn the Rope, or Final Boss (no download available); you should probably plan for fan response.
