BPM Permission Needed?

[behanjc]

If there is a very complicated synced classical file or other complicated file for SM, are we allowed to remake steps but use the same BPM changes for an FFR file. Do we have to get permission from the original simfile artist for their BPM changes, or include their name as a collab?

Nothing has come up yet, but I'm sure there will be cases in the future.

Nope. We don't have to get permission, we don't even have to credit the original simfile author. This has even been done already; hi19hi19's Jurs OP file used the BPM changes from Bursurk Lurk's file from SM.

what he said. just gotta make sure that whoever did the 1st set of changes did them correctly.

Almost on-topic question that sort of fits:

Are we allowed to release a file for SM of the same steps and song as FFR, but different mp3 (hence different BPM/changes)? If not, how much of the steps do we have to change?

I wouldn't push it.

we would appreciate it if you kept your files for FFR private. they'll get played much more in FFR than they would on SM anyway.
