Fett's Vette

[glimdanten]

Hello,

Bit of a newbie question but is it possible to download the simfile (or whatever it is called) for Fett's Vette that is on FFR? That is definetly one of my favorite songs and I have found a couple of simfiles for it around but none are nearly as good as the one on the game. Id really like to be able to practice it on my PSP.

Thank you for all of your help,

Re: Fett's Vette

Yeah, it should be. Go to the Sim File DB or ask and admin or a particular moderator for help.

FFR official simfiles aren't supposed to be public. Meaning you're not supposed to have them.

Re: Fett's Vette

The simfile as it exists in the game is only available in the game. If someone has duplicated it and uploaded it into the simfile database, that's when you let an admin or moderator know, and bannings happen.

why?
what reason is there to ban someone over that? like i understand abusing the uploading system, or uploading a duplicate is something which shouldn't be done. But, why would uploading a file from the FFR client be so bad?

Re: Fett's Vette

It has to do with publicly releasing artists' music. When we get permissions from artists, sometimes they dont' want their music publicly distributed. This is truer of bigger, well-known groups, as opposed to in-house artists.

Re: Fett's Vette

i understand such illegalities, sounds like a silly to worry about songs which ffr already is aloud to use, and not worry so much as to songs that they don't have permission to host. Maybe I'm missing a key factor here, but i don't see the issue.

Re: Fett's Vette

Because the band/label gives FFR permission to use the song. Not you. You do not have permission to use the song, because you aren't FFR. So when people get songs and stepfiles from FFR, they are violating the agreement that FFR made with the band/label.

edit: So FFR, as an entity has made an agreement to the band/label not to leak there songs? so if one, was to exploit the client, and show others how to download the file, that would in turn put FFR in a situation which i assume it wouldn't like to be in, so why have such a binding contract? either way im leaving this thread before i say something stupid to you.

Re: Fett's Vette

seems like a pretty weak argument when you can upload pretty much any song (yes, illegally) to the sims database, including other songs by the same artist

but what do I know

Re: Fett's Vette

I don't think they would care all that much. Its happening like 8x as much on Morpheus and Limewire as it is on some small, under the radar site like this.

I think is okay if you buy the CD. You're just sharing it with everyone else.

small, under the radar site like this.

We used to be this. Not so much anymore.

Re: Fett's Vette

Another reason it isn't allowed is...

To stop people from asking this every day, this might help.

Synth wants FFR originals to stay in FFR because if they got released to the public then people would just put them in StepMania and not want to play FFR anymore because they already got all of FFR's songs in Stepmania, defeating the purpose.

Re: Fett's Vette

Ahh, damn

Well thank you for all your help. Unfortunately FFR tends to lag or bug frequently on my computer (its a crap one), so it makes it very difficult to play not to mention I enjoy being able to play away from my computer with my psp. Kudos to the simfile author that made it, as it is the best version of Fett's Vette I have seen.

Thank you once again,

Re: Fett's Vette

On the topic of illegality of releasing the MP3 for public use:

The song in question used to be available on mc chris's website for free. Part of the album "Life's a Bitch and I'm Her Pimp" I believe it's called, which was also available for free on his website. In fact, part of me wants to say that it's still there on his site somewhere and I'm just failing to find it. Regardless, I don't think he would have any qualms about someone downloading it without paying him for it.

But as was said, the stepfile should not be made publically available for reasons detailed here, as quoted above:

"Synth wants FFR originals to stay in FFR because if they got released to the public then people would just put them in StepMania and not want to play FFR anymore because they already got all of FFR's songs in Stepmania, defeating the purpose."

ps

as it is the best version of Fett's Vette I have seen

You do know it's cut up in the FFR version, right?
