StepMania, now just $29.99

bluguerrilla · 02-16-2009, 12:48 PM

Probably old news but you can buy it here.

It's also on DDRGame. Their list of artists/songs actually makes sense.

Nothing like selling artists' music without consent, including but very not limited to SGX, Kyle Ward, Family Farce, Vospi, Banya, Machinae Supremacy and DM Ashura.

I wonder if there are Konami artists on that list (probably not but I don't know).

I just saw this and had to share the outrage.

If this is wrong section please move it but it seemed appropriate (Chit-Chat may be more-so).

No, it's entirely illegal.

They're going to get burned so badly for selling this music without consent.

Waaaaay ahead of ya.
Already E-mailed Kyle Ward and Renard. Just AIM'd SGX about it.

Edit: Oh yeah, and Konami has rights to some DM Ashura songs it appears. Also, the ones that are on the CD.

I guess for a similar reason one subscribes to FFR. You can purchase similar CDs from StepMania.com but there's no way that this company has the right to redistribute it, at least naively. The song list isn't even exactly the same so I'm not sure what's going on.

Here's the page on sm.com.

kommisar[os] · 02-16-2009, 03:15 PM

they used the permissions stepmania.com had, which is basically just the stepmixes. stepmanier.com could get sued by da artists and lose quite easily at this point.

[TeRa] · 02-16-2009, 03:18 PM

This is pretty funny.

**Oni-Paranoia** · 02-16-2009, 03:23 PM

I'm just waiting to see a lawsuit. ♥

**TC_Halogen** · 02-16-2009, 03:27 PM

Some, if not all of these are creative commons artists, they definitely can press charges for the improper usage of their music; selling the SM discs like this is most definitely illegal as the music is on public domain without any monetary value.

This is gonna be pretty interesting in the long run.

**GG_Guru** · 02-16-2009, 03:30 PM

I hope this makes it to CNN news.

I'm fairly sure that sm got permission to distribute the music, just like we did with support tokens (maybe comparable).

The thing is, it's not like they're buying the discs from sm.com and then reselling them. There's a different number of songs on there, on the one ddrgame et al. are selling.

But I don't really know the legalities here, just speculation on my part.
