Removed. I also went through the rest of his profile and removed all the others that I could find which are stolen. The ones I left are ones which seem to be made by him (including that remix which is, at least ostensibly, made from scratch).

It is just that I stumbled upon this recording and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to share one of the most inspiring classical pieces of our century performed by a very extraordinary Brass Choir...'

I guess he simply says that it's not his?

I guess so! I removed the submission but didn't ban the guy since his last submission was 6 years ago so who cares haha.

Fun sidenote: When I saw "2009" written down near his last submission I thought to myself "oh, that must be around 3 years ago". Then it hit me that we're in 2015. Time y u move so fast.

What a shame, eh? I was hoping for a legitimate arrangement/performance of that piece. Adagio was a favorite of mine.

Uploader says 'credit to frank klepacki', which happens to be the composer of the Command & Conquer music. I've never played that game, however I've also noticed that this guy's audio is all different genres and he doesn't say anything about it. I have doubts about all of his tracks, but I don't recognize any of them.

Thanks guys!

Well, I removed it whether it's his or not. It has copyrighted samples from SpongeBob (I even remember the episode which the quotes came from). His other one took a bit of digging but I found it with the same name uploaded on Newgrounds by another artist.

Yeah that whole profile's full of stolen stuff. Audio submissions unpublished, and account banned.

May I have a mod help me with the legitimacy of this track? I can't help but feel that not much was done... the track is a remix Toni Ley's One Foot On The Other Side. (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxmTAcumG90

) The only real difference is around the 1:03 mark. The rest just sounds as if it was just pitch shifted from the original.

Its from NoCopyrightSounds, so it would be legitimate, but it's not the case of usage of non-copyrighted samples, instead its a whole song from it, so its still stolen.

How do you know this? Did you get some kind of error when you tried to play a featured level with stolen music? That sounds like very good news!

Is this allowed? I don't think it is. One would assume the vocals are under a strict license or something. Idk, just bringing this up so that you mods are aware in case you don't check R4R that often.

I'm afraid it isn't allowed. I hate banning people for something as small as using a copyrighted sample non-commercially, when there are so many tracks on here that are outright stolen, but at the moment we're very strict on copyright, at least until the changes to how the Audio Portal handles licensing are implemented.

Thanks for the heads up.

Sorreh for late reply...
I played a few old levels with skrillex music; but now they're unfeatured AND the song is undownloadable! I checked; it stays true as long as the song isn't on newgrounds anymore.

The developer also made an announcement where he apologized to the level creators, but emphasized that the real NG music is what's allowed.

Its Pico Day 2015! And how do I celebrate it?

Hm... this guy seems legit, but he has some really high-quality stuff on his profile. I can't for the life of me find anything incriminating, so I think he's actually a legitimate music producer.

Why does he need to steal DJ-Nate's songs if they are already available here? Does he really want to get scouted or what?

I know right... I don't get that. Why post music that's already here on Newgrounds? If they want to use it in Geometry Dash then they can just type in the ID from the original source, rather than reuploading it. Ah well.

I can't find any hits on Shazam/SoundHound, nor is googling helping. However, I am not prepared to believe that this quality of music will be submitted to Newgrounds by an absolute nobody who has Spanish author's comments that are along the lines of "this song is very good". I'm going to remove the track and ban him. Everything is reversible if by some miracle he is the original composer and he contacts me about it.
