Re: StepMania, now just $29.99
Some, if not all of these are creative commons artists, they definitely can press charges for the improper usage of their music; selling the SM discs like this is most definitely illegal as the music is on public domain without any monetary value.
This is gonna be pretty interesting in the long run.Comment

Re: StepMania, now just $29.99
I'm fairly sure that sm got permission to distribute the music, just like we did with support tokens (maybe comparable).
The thing is, it's not like they're buying the discs from sm.com and then reselling them. There's a different number of songs on there, on the one ddrgame et al. are selling.
But I don't really know the legalities here, just speculation on my part.

"
You must have permission (either written or in email) from the music copyright owner (usually the musician) to use their music for StepMix and present to them the following statement:
"I am requesting permission to use your song __________ in my entry to the StepMix Song Contest. I would like to create game dance steps for your song, allow it to be posted on the StepMania web site (http://www.stepmania.com), and allow it to be used on the non-profit StepMania Complete CD-ROM (http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/StepMania_Complete_CD-ROM) which raises prize money for the StepMix contest. Full details are available at http://www.stepmania.com/wiki/StepMix_2_Contest."
I think I agreed to that
I like how the list repeats people and song names over and over

Re: StepMania, now just $29.99
Except that it has a different number of songs on the disc and since it's a CD they could just be fabricating copies instead of buying and reselling actual copies from sm.com.
I guess it's something that someone at sm.com really has to look into.
That and that agreement is for distribution under "not-for-profit" and this company is clearly profiting from selling it, hence that agreement doesn't apply.Last edited by bluguerrilla; 02-16-2009, 08:03 PM.Comment
