I know uploading something without permission is illegal but I think I have to refuse to delete them in this moment in time. Mostly because I have some thoughts about all this:

1. Why now? This has been going on for many years now and I cannot understand why it took so long for Fandom to even notice.

2. Is every wiki gonna have to take down their audio files too? Because there are plenty of wikis I go to who have audio files and I haven't seen any of them get a message like this yet, which seems unfair.

3. Is it that bad to share music to those who have no access to iTunes, Spotify and other sites similar to them? All I wanted was for Precure fans to hear the music without having to deal with YouTube's copyright laws and such. And this leads me into that first point: since wiki never seemed to have anything against audio files for many years, I assumed that audio files was the way to go instead of just replacing YouTube videos all the time.

4. What will happen to the wiki if I refuse to delete the audio files? This one is out of curiosity because I honestly just want to give Precure fans as much info on the franchise as I can, and i don't want audio files to effect the wiki in any way.

5. If these audio files must be deleted, then what do you recommend we do so we can give Precure fans access to the music? Because Toei is so strict, we don't have any other ideas on how to help fans.

6. If there is no alternative solution to replace audio files that follows the fair use law, then is there any way I can actually keep the audio files? My brother mentioned buying them and getting permission from the actual people who wrote the music but...that just sounds impossible.

I'm honestly reluctant in deleting the audio files just like that, especially since so many other wikis do it as well. And I don't want to delete our files if the other wikis can get away with it. I don't know if they upload them for the same purposes as I do, but I know I upload them just so those who have no resources to buy them themselves have a way to listen to them. In no way was I meaning to go against fair use.

I hope you understand my point of view on the matter, and I am interested in discussing this so we can come to a conclusion!

About download links, I will hunt down any that has been posted and will delete them!!!!
