If you're refering to what Vanilla Ice did, you can't expect to copy from a prominent organization and not ask them for permission first. It's just like when these artists sample other artists. They have to ask for permission or they can be sued by the original artist or writer. And then Vanilla Ice went on to make mad money off of that record but from what I understand the Alphas won some of that money in a lawsuit.
As for the high school and misc. step teams doing NPHC steps, there's just no reason for it in my opinion. New steps get made up all the time and what really bugs me is that most of these people don't know whose steps they're doing, the history behind the NPHC orgs, or the history and significance of the art of stepping. For some in NPHCs, stepping is no big deal, but for others it's a huge deal and they regard stepping as one of their beloved traditions and signature steps have been with these orgs for many many years.
Peace.
