Bumping this ahead of James May's post because it's very important to understand.

Kara Comparetto's permission to use her album Final Fantasy at the Piano:

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

I made a thread like 5 years ago where i wanted help with the Treasure Trove Cove song i was stepping, and in that thread i posted the permissions i got from e-mailing Grant Kirkhope and Rare. So we should have permission for Rare's songs or at least the Banjo kazooie/Banjo Tooie songs, but no one ever posted the permission in the permission thread. Here's the thread:

The attachments don't work anymore since attachments aren't allowed anymore, but i still have the e-mails.

Do we have blanket permission to add all Rare songs to FFR?

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

Gruntilda's Final Battle by Grant Kirkhope stepped by Charu is already in-game.

I am unsure if there's a physical screenshot laying around for the permission anymore or if anyone archived the permissions?

But it does seem that there was enough approval from the initial thread to get a song related to the permissions to get a song in-game.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

but the permission isn't in this thread at least as far as i know

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

Gonna read Game Content Usage Rules legal-E's and get back to ya <3

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

okay, thank you very much :)

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

Okay, so.


Considering that Rare contacted you back saying it is ok as long as you follow the Game Content Usage Rules, Based upon latest rendition from January 2015, this is a valid blanket permission for any and all Rare-associated game soundtracks and music owned by Microsoft, granted that FlashFlashRevolution stays non-profit. FFR may still accept donations, and generate income based on assets associated with FFR as long as it's not directly making the money off of the publicity of said song or artist. Since FFR is active in a way where there is more than 2000+ songs that drives its reputation, this shouldn't be an issue.


If for some reason there is ever a separate, approved downloadable version of the game that shy's away from the website and requires downloading the music separately along with the Game Content before playing the game (again, should not be an issue because the downloadable version of FFR has to connect to FFR to load music data) then this disclaimer must be included in the README for any songs regarding ownership via Microsoft:


"[Name of the Microsoft Game] © Microsoft Corporation. [The title of your Item] was created under Microsoft's "Game Content Usage Rules" using assets from [Name of the Microsoft Game], and it is not endorsed by or affiliated with Microsoft."


Outside of that, The legal perspective (but not quote for quote verbatim) is that "Microsoft grants a personal, non-exclusive, non-sublicenseable, non-transferable, revocable, limited license to use and display Game Content and to create derivative works based upon Microsoft-related and owned Game Content, strictly for personal or noncommercial use.


TL;DR this is blanket permission for Rare-related music owned by Microsoft. According to Usage Rules, there is blanket permission for Halo 3 soundtrack as well.
For anything else outside of that, contact the associated developers of the game first. If they tell you that it's all good as long as you follow the Game Content Usage Rules located on xbox.com, then that constitutes blanket permission for their associated works. If you cannot reach the associated developers of the game for some reason, then it falls under the legal perspective (but not quote for quote verbatim) listed above. If the associated developers respond and say no, then it's rejected.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

yay :D thank you very much :) noname219, please add the blanket permission for all Rare songs and for Halo 3 :)

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

As far as I was aware, I recall it was Grant Kirkhope specifically that stated we could use anything he had made within any game he composed in.

I'm unsure about the Rare statement, but hey, if worse comes to worse, we'll just say "oops" and nothing will be lost.

Not that many tracks in Halo 3 I'd imagine would be stepable to be honest with y'all.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

Luv ur friends should be pretty fun.

And we could always use more easy songs for the nubs and scrubs ^_^

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

so... what's rules for this? because we still have renard files coming out do we not (not that I'd complain about losing 4lung or renard lol)

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

we have permission for them, so yes

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

Did 4Lung retract their permission? I didnt see anything indicating that and IMO not allowing their music in for moral reasons would be bizarre given the aforementioned Renard

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

ghost medley said nothing about a permission revoke, just that they wouldn't provide the music anymore. And if there's no permission revoke, then we still have permission. Them revoking permission would have nothing to do with lapfox music unless they also revoke permission.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

From some basic googling/research it looks like 4Lung is involved in some kinks that have led some to conclude she may be a danger to children, and then there are some secondhand reports of her making advances to teenaged minors.

Re: Permissions List and Information v8
 

you know about the renard sleepgrope shit right? perhaps not as egregious but
