Lost From The Internet Pack RELEASED!

[ApocalypseAp]

Click to download the pack here!
Or here from the SMO website!

I have a bunch of old files that have never been released in packs, so I figured I'd go through all my non-pack files to see which ones I could find in the smo database, weed those out and be left with a pack of files that would be very difficult or even impossible to track down individually.

There's a lot of variety because it's not any particular style. There's easier files, harder files, goofy files.. you may even recognize some of the names. A few of the files actually are in other packs, but have additional difficulties. All of the step creators that I could figure out have been added to the folder names, if they didn't have them already.

If nothing else, these songs and/or charts could inspire any modern resteps if anyone wished to do so. Give 'em a shot. Some of them are legitimate challenges.

All the way back to 2003. And you won't find these files in any of those old packs.

Man this reminded me about my old collection of singles, and it turns out I had a couple of these. The vast majority of them were from the old FFR Simfile database when that was still around. I bet a lot of people's lost content could come to surface if people browsed through their old SM stuff.

some of these authors would not have wanted their files released without permission

I figured some people might enjoy getting some of their lost files back with this.

Hey thanks for the SMO mirror. I just happened to have a lot of them 'cause these have been through 4 of my computers now since 2003 and I figured they deserved to be out by now since it's been so long. I just needed to go through and double check against other packs and files and such and I did that all today.

I don't presume to speak for other people like that. I just want everyone to enjoy the files.

[MinaciousGrace]

obviously there's practical reality vs principle

I'm merely pointing out that some people would find it distasteful to take the creative works of others and distribute them without permission regardless of intention

actually by packaging up their files and releasing them without consent, that's exactly what you are doing

[MinaciousGrace]

double post for recognition in the face of music copyright post irony

[Dynam0]

I only have 80% of this pack already damn

edit: nvm looking more into this list it's actually like 30% lmao fuc

This whole "releasing material without consent" is a joke btw, these files were certainly released albeit ages ago and I'd be surprised if any were personally sent to apoc with the expectation of them staying "unreleased".

my protest is not for the practical concern but one of principle, obviously no one gives a shit on a practical level

if that seems out of character then fine, but it doesn't mean i don't get to express my opinion

[DigitalS3r4ph]

Nice, I loved Anobody's files. They're really hard to find. He was a major influence on some of my earlier files haha.
