If people want to prevent this from happening, this shouldn't be a viewpoint, but a rule in FFR submission. If gray areas like this are left, then you might end up having to remove bunches of files in the future because you have no official rule or precedent.

For example, if a songwriter gave FFR permission to use their works several years ago, and just now decided that they wanted all of their music to be removed, would you comply? I can imagine you would, and what makes the musical property any different from the property of stepfiles in terms of whether their owners decide if you have the ability to use them anymore or not?

So I'm not quite sure how you will handle this situation regarding the step author who wants a bunch of their files removed honestly. In the future, a rule should be clearly posted in the FFR submission guidelines that any submission to FFR means that a step author is in full agreement to terms such as:

- The owner of the step chart will be alleviated of all rights as to where the file goes, or how it is handled, so long as the file itself is not altered, discredited, or used for any purpose aside from being released as an in-game FFR chart.
- Permission to use this file for it's initial purpose as a chart on FFR will be considered permanent, and removals will only occur in the sole interest of the FFR staff.
