Default Re: Legality of simfiles?

I think a simfile can be sold if it only contains stepcharts, graphics (either made by yourself or cropped from pictures with licenses that allow you to sell them) and a README file indicating how to get the mp3 file and how to cut it.

Example: $0.99 to download the simfile for "This Dying Soul": After downloading this simfile, get the second track of Train of Thought by Dream Theater (you can purchase it via iTunes Store.) Rename the mp3 file to "this_dying_soul.mp3" and cut it from 1:23.45 to 3:45.67 by either running the included script file or using your favorite sound editing tool.

I'm not sure whether this is actually legal. I hardly know anything about law stuff
