May I just ask, if the famous bootleg by @cloudfield of Zedd - Ignite is allowed on NG? Are bootlegs even allowed on Newgrounds? I really wondered what happened to the cool song.

Hey,

There's a guy called FelixSanHaro who's been stealing songs from famous brony people, such as UndreamedPanic, Bank Pain, Aurelleah, and more. One of the most famous song he stole is Night Light :

He uploaded at least 3 albums originally made by UndreamedPanic (Power, Mane Six and Serious Luna)

Bank Pain told me that he also stole these two :

In fact, I'm not even sure if Felix has only one legit song he made by himself...

Question. I know this is old and I realise it's in my favourites but...

  Nyan Nyan (Techno Remix)

The sample is a pitched-up version from the Macross anime, I forget its full name. Those of you who have watched it will know the scene associated with said sample. Considering how much of a tightrope we're walking on, should I remove this or should I just keep it?

I don't think that sample is from an anime. I think it might be from the original Nyan Cat video, run through vocal isolation and EQ'ed, from the sound of it.

Nyan Cat has reached memetic status and is so pervasively sampled, it's hard to know what came from where if you've never seen anything but the Nyan Cat video that surfaced in 2011 and the endless remixes and covers. You can read about its history here; it does mention a legal battle, buuuut that lawsuit concerns the creators of the Nyan Cat character suing Warner Bros for using the character without compensating them, and the creators winning. I don't think anyone is suing over the song associated at present.

@TomFulp, @Exedor, @NekoMika, what do you think? The sample is just the Nyan vocal, which I think is Chinese. What I'm reading across the net seems to be that the artists aren't exercising their copyrights on the works. "Nyan Cat is probably a copyright violation but since the original video author and music author support its continued exhibition it persists." - according to replies on Quora. It's a work that sees a lot of reproduction, as memes often do. I'm on the fence.

If the artist is on a label and @cloudfield didn't get permission from the rights holders to make his remix/bootleg, we can't host it, so no, it isn't allowed. Bootleg remixes are fine so long as they break no other rules. Bootlegs are just remixes that are usually done in a short amount of time, could be unmastered, and generally not as high quality as an official release. It's slang for something an artist just slings out there to say, "Hey, look at what I'm doing. I wasn't anal about this piece and it still showcases some talent!"

I recall seeing this clip ages ago too.

Thanks, introduced me to a new love. You learn something new every day!

Oh, forgot.
I don't really watch spanish videos. (Also, I'm a Geometry Dash player, but doesn't really care about getting scouted or
whatever.)

Not a good idea to steal from an extremely large and popular music youtube channel. You get caught fast.

Didn't bother finding proof for all of them, but most of them admit in the description that it's not their stuff.

Most of them were indeed pretty obvious theft. All gone, but now you owe us some links sir.

@B16, you might know more about this one than I do. Been a little over 2 years. But if it was removed, it could be for any number of things, copyright, duplo music, etc. Stuff doesn't get removed generally unless we need to.

well it is old so I don't think old songs could contain copyrighted music. I would be fine with it if it was removed because of loud music

Actually, lots of older content could have copyrighted music. it was toward the end of last year that we started pulling stuff en mass, and no doubt, we missed things here and there.

"Made using [

don't know why this was gone, haven't listened to the full song so I think later in the song it gets copyright?

people are smart
