Media rights register
This register records why each major family of images, audio, data and third-party material may be published, what attribution is required, and whether advertising is permitted beside it. “Ad-free” is an enforced publication boundary, not an implication that TKB owns the material. Anything without a documented right stays unpublished or on hold.
| Material family | Owner/source | Rights basis and conditions | Advertising status | TKB decision |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TKB original writing, interface code and record cards | Conroy1988, MartyBlyth and identified contributors | Original publisher material; contributor submissions require an explicit licence and editorial review before publication. | Eligible | May appear on eligible editorial pages when all other content on the route also qualifies. |
| CRNY / Daniel Conroy — “Abyssal Drums” | © 2026 Daniel Conroy | Composition and recording are owned by Daniel Conroy and specifically authorised for TKB Gaming and the Crimson Desert Guide. No third-party commercial music is permitted. | Ad-free | Soundscape remains advertising-free by site policy. |
| Crimson Desert official screenshots and Fan Kit | Pearl Abyss | Pearl Abyss Fan Content Guidelines allow community sites and passive advertising, provided the content is free and clearly carries the required unofficial-content notice. | Eligible | Only substantive editorial guide pages may be eligible. Generated records, tools and thin database routes stay ad-free. |
| Crimson Desert community YouTube thumbnails and gameplay frames | Individual video creators plus Pearl Abyss IP | Attribution is not a copyright licence from the creator. No written creator grants are recorded. | Removed | Community-derived portraits were removed from public delivery. Bosses without exact official art show a media-pending state until permission or an official replacement is recorded. |
| Battlefield promotional screenshots | Electronic Arts | EA’s Content Policy allows fan sites and passive banner advertising, requires a non-affiliation statement, and forbids implying endorsement or combining EA branding with TKB branding. | Ad-free | The Battlefield community/history hub is deliberately excluded from advertising because it is brand-heavy and uses remote EA media. |
| ARK released promotional screenshots | Studio Wildcard / Snail Games USA | Studio Wildcard’s Fan Content Guidelines permit use of officially released promotional material. Their listed monetisation methods are video-platform focused, so TKB does not infer a website-ad right. | Ad-free | ARK and DamoDex routes do not load AdSense. |
| ARK Official Community Wiki text, maps and structured records | ARK Wiki contributors; game IP remains with its owners | CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 unless otherwise noted. Attribution, non-commercial use and share-alike conditions apply. | Ad-free | Resource-atlas pages remain advertising-free and retain source/revision attribution. |
| Wikily wild-spawn map records | NX Software / Wikily | Wikily’s terms do not provide a reuse licence for copied map datasets and restrict copying, scraping and commercial reuse. | Withheld | The public wild-dino layer and its downloadable index are disabled. Preserved research cannot be republished unless written permission is obtained or the dataset is independently rebuilt from a lawful source. |
| Eco official Steam storefront screenshots | Strange Loop Games | Stored locally for editorial identification. No explicit passive-ad permission has been recorded from the publisher. | Ad-free | Eco pages remain advertising-free pending explicit permission or replacement with TKB-owned/clearly licensed imagery. |
| DrainSim press-kit images and logo | CodePeas | Official CodePeas press kit, used for editorial coverage with ownership and non-affiliation stated. No broader asset ownership is claimed. | Ad-free | DrainSim guide remains advertising-free unless the publisher’s commercial-use permission is recorded. |
| Pexels photographs | Named Pexels contributors | Pexels licence permits free website and commercial use, modification and advertising, subject to endorsement and sensitive-use restrictions. | Eligible | Source page, author and local file digest remain recorded. |
| Unsplash photographs | Named Unsplash contributors | Unsplash licence grants free commercial and non-commercial use, subject to its anti-resale and competing-library limits. | Eligible | Source page, author and local file digest remain recorded. |
| YouTube walkthroughs | Named video creators | Embedded only from the creator’s published YouTube video. The player is privacy-enhanced and created only after a visitor chooses to load it. | Ad-free | No thumbnail or frame is copied into TKB media without a separate creator licence. |
Publication control
The codebase treats advertising eligibility as an allowlist. Parent community hubs, brand pages, media archives, calculators, installers, privacy pages, error pages and any route containing non-commercial material are excluded. A disclaimer never substitutes for permission. If a source policy changes, the affected family is moved to ad-free or hold before the next publication.
Rights questions, removal requests and evidence of a licence change can be sent to guides@tkb-gaming.scot. TKB Gaming is jointly published and equally owned by Conroy1988 and MartyBlyth.
