Permission is of course not attained if a rights holder doesn't respond, or can't or won't contact you, that is absurd. Of course they don't lose their rights because of that.Liallan wrote:*@N_Faker... If you found a piece of music lying around but did not know who held the copyright or how to get a hold of them, does that give you free permission to do whatever the hell you want with it? Absolutely not. Why is a poster who left 4 years ago different? Because it's not. Why did they lose their rights just because you don't happen to know where they are?
It is the copyright holders' responsibility to enforce their copyright.
Daggerheart has broken no BGA rules, in this regard.
