PAKUTASO, the only site in Japan that distributes free e-sports materials, announced today, April 13, that it has become a Brave certified site.
What is Brave?
Brave is a popular web browser that is available for free on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and is used by 13.5 million people per month.
Brave has an ad-blocking feature that provides users with a comfortable browsing experience, but in return, web services that operate their sites on ad revenue have a disadvantage on the creators' side: they lose revenue.
If you become a Brave certified site, creators will be rewarded!
Using Brave will result in loss of revenue for creators, loss of content production costs, and loss of quality content for users as well as creators.
However, Brave provides a mechanism for Brave creators to apply for Brave Creator, and if their application is approved, they become Brave Certified Sites and receive tips and rewards (BAT).
Not every website can become a Brave Certified Site.
However, PakuTaso, which distributes free e-sports materials, has now become a Brave Certified Site.
What is PakuTaso, which distributes free e-sports materials?
Free materials are indispensable for content creation, and "PakuTaso" offers approximately 29,000 free materials free of charge.
PAKUTASO is a popular free material site that allows easy downloading without the need for membership registration.
On March 30, 2020, Capcom will begin distributing Capcom-approved e-sports free materials, and is the only site in Japan to offer free e-sports free materials featuring "Street Fighter V Champion Edition", which has been officially approved by the game manufacturer.
In e-sports, both online and offline, it is often necessary to produce images, flyers, posters, and other materials for announcements.
Web creators may also need to use e-sports photos when creating e-sports related contents or websites.
It is possible to use photos taken by yourself, but I think it would be difficult to use from a combination of copyrights, such as when the game screen is reflected in the photo.
However, "PakuTaso" distributes free materials that are officially approved by game manufacturers, and you can use them freely as long as they are within the PakuTaso terms of use.
