    Clarifying Permission for deceased artists and adding a Pop genre

    So I've been thinking lately...since the former king of pop Michael Jackson recently passed away would it be appropriate to step his music for FFR without requestingthe company's approval? His tragic death has devastated many fans including most of our community and I don't see any reason why we shouldn't include his music in the database, after all he was a great musician...

    Also, I haven't been too sure about this yet but I was wondering if adding a new "Pop" genre might be possible. This might sound crazy but I'd like to hear your opinions on this.

    edit: Let the ranting begin.

      there is a law about this and im not too sure of the details. but i think its something like 50 years after their death it becomes legal or if one of his close relatives allows it (meaning his wife or children, etc).

      edit: or his record label obviously

          you have to request whatever company his music is with to have permission
          good luck on that

                  No, you still have to ask the company because his music are copyright. The default length of copyright is the life of the author plus either 50 or 70 years.

                          Okay, so we already know that stepping his music without consent from the company is out of the question at this time...Now the only mystery remaining is whether or not having a Pop genre in FFR can be debatable.

                          Any thoughts or comments?

                              No. Pop music needs to stay the **** out.

                                          I'm going to go ahead and agree. There are tons of genres that could make great stepcharts, but the people with the skills to do so avoid them. I remember back in the day people said things like "you can't step rock because of unsteady BPM" then immediately turned around and stepped live piano performances.

                                          But that said, the thing that makes pop music pop is the fact that it's popular. If it's popular music of this sort you're looking at, you're going to have a very hard time getting permission for it, and even if you do, it'd be better to put the few successes in misc or something.

                                              what who_cares said you just need to find the right station. I was out driving today and heard all these decently steppable songs in a row so don't hate

                                                  Remove hip hop and replace it by pop otherwise i dont want another genre ill just ignore. Besides what would we put in pop lol.

                                                      I don't think it's because it would make bad stepfiles they are saying no. It's probably because they just don't like pop music.

                                                      Anyways, I don't care really so sure +1.
