Much as I'd love to, this is a bug of some kind. I can't see the track either on the mod end. No idea what causes these to happen. Please post this and any others you come across in the thread "Audio Portal Chart Bugs", and hopefully one of the programmers can see about a fix.

This is a piano cover, but I'm not sure if the song is copyrighted. Can someone get back to me on that?

Welcome to copyright hell :)

So the account and rendition you posted are legit. The artist wrote their own piano cover of a song which has no piano in it. The song itself (Stealing Sheep - Shut Eye) has a copyright on it, HOWEVER it is a sound recording copyright.

Bit of an education piece on ℗. Circle P. P for Phonograph, but means "sound recording copyright". What this means is that the specific mixing of the track is protected (usually by the label). It's common outside of the US to see both the ℗ and © symbols, where the first protects the publisher by saying they have exclusive rights to that recording done in their studio. The standard © symbol is generally linked to the artist, lyricist, or composer (sometimes all, sometimes one of the above).

Back to the track. In this case I would say that the music as uploaded is fine as there are none of the original recording in it, it was composed to Piano by the uploader, and the composition and content of the original recording appear to be in the public domain (in that I have not found a copyright notice on their content from official uploads), and the music as uploaded has very clearly linked back to the song it is covering.

The industry example of how lenient ℗ is: Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and its many many covers. That song was ℗ but not ©. (source on that, and some more info).

I'm open to differing opinions, but that is my interpretation of the law.

@Jackho @NekoMika @Lexrodent if you want to weigh in.

Wow. Thanks a lot for that, it's something I really had no idea about. It'll probably come in handy later on. Especially if it turns out my life is some sort of puzzle game and this is a hint. Also, I wanted to ask, did you find a lot of stolen stuff yesterday, because I only found one thing, and I haven't found anything today. Am I just missing things or is something legitimately different?

I wasn't overly familiar with Sound Recording copyright vs standard copyright as it isn't commonly seen in my country (it's usually listed under the © symbol for clarity).

I found a number of things which were stolen and have since been removed. It does seem to be slowing down, but there is always an ebb and flow to all the portals. Start of the week always seemed slower when I was flagging, but we're into summer break in most places so I'm not sure how it correlates.

Is this some sort of Nightcore? The pitch and speed seem increased, but it's also longer than the official song. It's weird. Then again, if they used any of the original copyrighted song, that's breaking the rules, right? Also, uploader says they wanna use it for a level. I assume they mean GD.

User's SC links back to NG. Seems to be a collab acc.

I think this is stolen, but I feel like I need a second opinion. It appears to be the exact same as the original, but the uploader said "ORIGINAL by Ornly You", so is this not the original, or is it mind games, or a poor choice of words from a thief?

I have to ask, if you flag something, and the author then removes it, does that count as flagging incorrectly and do you lose whistle points for that?

Afaik flags require mod action to trigger. You definitely won't lose points, but you probably won't gain any either.

This is copyrighted, no? So it doesn't matter if it's stolen (which it may be).

Copyrighted and stolen both. The uploader conveniently linked back to the source.

I was bored so I decided to do something useful for once. Typing a popular artist's name in the search bar actually yields some nice results pretty quickly. Thankfully everyone but 1 is unscouted.

I'm 100% sure I've heard this before somewhere but I've got no proof at hand sadly, so someone else has to confirm this one.

This one is... Odd? I don't know if this would be counted as spam or not. I guess someone could say that this is an experimental drone track~

Do you have any sources? These don't really look, sound, or smell stolen to me.

This guy just makes recordings of himself singing over the instrumental of existing songs. I don't think this belongs on the AP.

I have suspicions about this one https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/822387

The fact that the genre doesn't match up and the description merely says "gd". Is throwing some red flags already.

Another suspicious user with two different uploads that sound way too hq for a newbie. I'd be surprised if the tracks belonged to him.

Sucking is not a rulebreaker. If you have reason to report these, please flag them and you can report the reason. If you do not have a real reason for reporting things, then do not report them. Across the board, Antonio, please use better discernment in the things you report and post.
