If you want to settle down with the PM and post flood, and maybe scale back the sarcasm and Tu Quoque fallacies for a bit ("Someone else did this therefore I can too"). It would be in your benefit to have some patience if you'd like a second opinion. You say you respect me, but you've been quite aggressive in your messaging demanding to be unbanned.

Another mod is welcome to have a look into it, but do keep in mind it's a small team of volunteers who have real life things on the go. They can contact me for some of the stuff you sent if they require it. I'll give it a second look as well, but again, have some patience.

Gods forbid I leave my house to buy groceries and the sky falls down...

At Peregrinus' request I took a look into this, and I do get the impression the Lake Hylia track is yours, as this Skelux fellow mentioned in the video description is a video game hacker rather than a musician. That being said, it sounds _very_ close to the original in terms of the actual notes, so I'd be inclined to categorise that one under MIDI-rip.

As for Lost Woods, that one, to me, sounds like there's quite a bit more going on that a duplication of the original, like your own drum lines and some other instruments that are playing things different from the original. I think we're generally a bit lax on covers where it's obvious that actual effort beyond slapping instruments on a MIDI was put in, so I'd be happy to have that republished.


Latest track: Only a Dusting [Ambient]

Thanks @Mich for the second look.

@cuddlyT: I will freely admit that I made a mistake, and for that I apologize. I've restored Lost Woods and lifted your ban. For the time being, Lake Hylia was mentioned as being too close to the original for comfort. It remains unpublished for the moment.

Addressing the "completely unprofessional" comment: hopefully at this point there is some understanding that we are volunteer moderators, and humans above that. None of us is without mistake, but of the 2200 songs I've removed only two cases (including yours) have been in my error. That's a failure rate of under 0.01%, which I'd say is decent but far from perfect.

Have a good night.

Stolen from The Game & Skrillex.

Stolen from Power Rangers S.P.D.

Stolen form Foster The People.

Stolen from Twenty One Pilots.

Stolen from Kero Kero Bonito.

Not stolen, just not music. Throw a random Disclosure beat on it though, I might dance.

Says in author comments the original artist is named Symbol, which the uploader is not.

I can't name the artist, but I do believe this is stolen. Might want to double check first to be safe.

Just static garbage.

Says in author comments that this is friends music. Not sure how this one works. I'm 50/50 on if this is allowed since it technically isn't his. Figured I'd post to clear it up.

Stolen from XXXTentacion.

Stolen from Lil Skies.

Also stolen from Lil Skies.

No, that was 10 minutes of static. It was not music. No creativity or effort went into it.

Pumped Up Kicks Remix again.

Yes I have. She admitted to buying and using those sample songs as audio memes as a dare, not to copy.

All she said to my PM weeks ago was:
Don't take what I put on clyp seriously.
And then:
Plus those were templates lmao, I didn't "steal" songs. The people who posted that also used it

Not sure if the whole thing is stolen from XXXTentacion, but the vocals were at least ripped.

Stolen from Imagine Dragons.

Based off the author comments, I don't think this user made this.

This is just a lot of noise, I'm posting this one, because I'm not 100% on if this is a yes or no.

This is stolen from Samsung. This was my ringtone and alarm for years. Begone song!

Tracks like this are a tricky subject. It's being discussed in the audio mod forum.
Some rappers actually pay licensing rights to use the beats. Some others just rip the tracks from various sites.
Here's an easy way to recognize unlicensed beats :
Those have a "watermark" during the intro, usually the name of the original makers said on clearly audible words.
Here's a good example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BABa9W2bByM
Notice how you can clearly hear "Cash Money A. P." (original makers of that beat)

That's just really poorly made, but is not pure spam or ear rape, so it doesn't break any rules.
Still you can give those a fa1r v0te ;)

this song has been admitted in its own description that it's 100% composed of samples from geometry dash - which is a violation of copyright - esp. since it's 100% samples from geometrydash.

It's also massive clickbait - currently sitting at #1 on the popular audio chart - and generating a buncha spam russian reviews. This won't end well if it's allowed to remain,..

Yeah, i felt suspicious about it as well. It got most of the attention from his YouTube channel, as he has 60k subs on youtube. It should never have been allowed on this site.

Stolen from iLOVEFRiday.

Stolen from Parappa The Rapper.

Stolen from Imagine Dragons.

Stolen from Desmeon.

Stolen from Reese's Puffs.

Stolen form Eminem.

Vocals ripped from EW&F, and the entire remix ripped from YouTube. Kinda funky, might find it on YT.

Vocals ripped from Ed Sheeran.

Not sure about this one.

Silence.

Stolen from Splatoon.

Author comments say it's taking from Portal. I'm not familiar enough to know if it's a track from the game. For all I know that could be a track from our own Audio Portal.

This account had all its songs removed because they were stolen so they could be used in Geometry Dash, however in-game they can still be downloaded and used somehow. It seems to only happen with this account and I'm not sure what causes it exactly, can someone look into this please?

Not much of a description, says nothing about remixing, stuff like that.

Surprised this hasn't been removed yet, it's just a bunch of GarageBand/Launchpad loops.

This guy seems to be stealing Sonic music.

For the newer one I'm not sure if I found the video it was taken from, but it doesn't say anything about remixing
For the older one it's probably this one:

These are the origional audio clips, this user doesn't seem to have edited them. So i guess they're stolen.


Just another NG user.
