I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
Why do we need artist informal permission to chart their songs when we generate zero profit and don't actually distribute the song?

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
god forbid we listen to something for FREE when there's tons of other sites that allow us to do that already...

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
because some artists change what and how they want their stuff to be distributed on the internet. Getting permissions from the author protects that right for us unless they directly address us to take it down. Otherwise, random people can just come to the website, make a claim that they never allowed this stuff on this website, and threaten lawsuit or cease & desist the entire site of FlashFlashRevolution, because it's being used without their permissions.
A long time ago when FFR was still a child, we didn't have artist permissions, we just put whatever we could get our hands on into the engine, and then stuff like this happened. It barely happens at all anymore now that we have a giant list of permissions. (Check the FFR Song List on the website, the first 1000 or so songs on the engine compared to the rest of the songs in-game, and see how many track numbers are missing in each area.)

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
In my opinion newgrounds songs should be able to be used I mean the audio section was actually intended for flash games. However we must ask permissions for everything unfortunately

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
I'm pretty sure we don't need to ask the artist for permission on Newgrounds. We just do it as a courtesy thing

So, we can use songs on newgrounds? Because I have some really nice gems that are perfect for FFR, but the songs are like 10 years old and the authors have left the site a long time ago. |

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
So long as its filed under CC you should be good. Be sure to make surewhat kind of CC license its filed under as there are different kinds. For example if someone releases a song under CC but has it restricted so that you can't modify the song then you will not be able to cut the song and must step/submit the whole song(this is the case with our black mages permission)

Share Alike:
If you alter, transform, or build upon this image, you may distribute the resulting creation only under a license identical to this one. I guess that is cool, since we don't use the cut songs for commercial purposes either? Last edited by M0nkeyz; 12-7-2014 at 08:32 PM.. |

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
Yeah, all newgrounds songs in their audio section are good to use under CC. I remember asking about that a long time ago and some admin confirmed it

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
was personally thinking of stuff more like this
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/6012 http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/92222 http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/226637 They could make for some interesting files. |

Sometimes I swear the entirety of Newgrounds beats off to the thought of sodomizing Dimrain47.

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
I don't think many songs were even removed, and some of them seem like they're from newer times with permissions, like the 3!OH!3 and All Time Low, and a bunch of Light files as well as one A Black Rose Burial song and one All Shall Perish song.
http://ffr.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Removed_file The only songs I can remember being removed for permissions reasons were Chrono Trigger and Final Fantasy 7 Battle. |

Re: I'm sure this has been asked a million times but
Worth noting that a large chunk of the stuff on hi19's list was actually never public.
I remember playing the password songs way back when I was a stupid 10 year old... How did I find those fun? I also remember that I never could get PWND to work and to this day, I wonder what the song sounded like.
