Stupid question, but what if you connect monetization to Newgrounds? You can get monetized IN THE CASE, if for example you have 500-1000 followers in Soundcloud, Spotify more than 100 streamers or a little-known producer who is trying to promote himself. (except of followers-bots or something)

Hello! It's been a long time that i'm not put stolen song links, it's time to fix that :D

DUDE FUС

There aint no easy solutions here that don´t involve gimping some useful features and options.Fuckin ell man i wish there is a way to IP-range ban all the little shits so they can´t make alt accounts because at this point i bet most of them are just salty little gd audio thieves that just do it out of spite.

Yes but be honest,do you think these brats and other fucks are smart enough to even know what a VPN is?Boom,checkmate atheist.

I found these two in the recommended sidebar:

Ripped from: https://youtu.be/Bs1kVySdUtI

Taken from: https://youtu.be/iwqhuIdHVeE

Also I noticed while playing GD myself, some stolen or removed Newgrounds songs are still downloadable through the game without hacks. Will this ever be fixed? I could probably find the IDs to the songs I'm thinking about if I have to

Well whadda y'know...

And yes, all song info is stored on the Geometry Dash servers. If a level uses a song, it's info is stored on the servers forever and never updates to match the NG page. But, if the song info can't be found, the song will never download even with hacks. So if GD uses the song info directly on Newgrounds instead of downloading it like it does now, that might stop banned songs from being usable.

Also, these IDs also work:

600915 (TheLivingTombstone FNAF2 song, whatever it's called)

594191 (Rap God by Eminem)

And, you could probably tell by the ID, but these submissions are OLD. Like from 2014-2015.

When I say song info, it doesn't include the song itself, only things like file size, song ID, title, and author. But yeah, someone should definitely warn RobTop about storing song info on the servers, especially if it's part of the reason a handful of stolen songs can still work. I believe it was only like this in the first place to optimize level browsing.

Nightcore version of Sphere by CreoMusic

Nightcore + heavy reverb version of At the Speed of Light by Dimrain47

Stolen from: https://youtu.be/B8BVfuYapyc

Title gives it away

Stolen from: https://youtu.be/Kf26tsytY6o

It's just https://youtu.be/hLZTbETQe9A but with a shit ton of reverb

Title gives it away

The song is "The Wind Road" by Jessluria, the YouTube page for it is blocked if you don't have music premium, but here's the link anyways: https://youtu.be/azr9xCBbHoA

Taken from: https://youtu.be/npjF032TDDQ

Taken from: https://youtu.be/bhJGXzOE5fQ

As the title says... https://youtu.be/Z6L4u2i97Rw

Once again... https://youtu.be/bc0KhhjJP98

sans undertale

It's an insanely high pitched version of sonic blaster with minion sounds

Taken from: https://youtu.be/b3LZfqxXcrw

It was published a week before TheFatRat actually published it...

I found most of this trash sorting by most popular undiscovered artists of the year.

Not stolen, but you can hear the original "I Got No Time" in the background

Just read the title...

It's literally a ONE HOUR LONG version of Pigstep... what a waste of space

Original

Read author comments

Improper remix of "Play Date"

Original

don't youse til i do!!!!

The original Fingerbang can be heard in the background

...But in reverse!

Title is self-explanatory

I can't pinpoint the source, but it doesn't seem legit

Original

Tf even is this??? Anyways, the title gives away what's wrong with it.

Not too sure this is rule breaking, but it seems like the author's intent was to make the sound loud.

Like the reply says, it's just Stomping Ground with effects on it.

Original ...Even the author says they wouldn't publish anything on Newgrounds LOL

Hey guys, I don't have any songs to post here today, but I do want to give a quick update on what's been going on in Geometry Dash's side of the rule-breaking audio problem:

Some old/new banned songs have been successfully blocked from the game! I only brought this up because sometimes when songs are removed, they're still available in GD. I do want to give a quick heads up, though; some people might try to re-upload these songs, if you couldn't guess. The best we can do is keep an eye out for more song thieves.

missed a lemkuuja song:

samples delegation - oh honey pretty heavily

been a very long time, glad to see this thread still up and kicking. if i can remember how to find stolen songs effectively again then i'd love to get back into action

Generic rap track, used in a lot of random songs. Older song to prove that it's stolen

Original song is in the background, albeit in low quality

I'm 99% sure that this isn't DanTDM... lol

The author comments translates to something like "Original is from vebalase, I just edited it"

Original

Original

Read title.

Original

Read title.

Lots of Roblox stuff being stolen lately...

Also, another audio update; remember when I said some songs were blocked? Well all of the stolen songs are blocked in Geometry Dash now (including Numa Numa Trance & Rap God). Safe to say the API is working as intended once again.

Stolen this song!

Stolen from Bee Swarm Simulator!

Do you know where from? I'm not familiar with the Roblox community and I'm not sure if these are background songs taken from these minigames or original compositions based on sound effects that may or may not be copyrighted.

I found this song which says it's a remix of Hinkik - Time Leaper

However, when I listen to it, the melody sounds like a totally different song. Here's the original for reference.

Can anyone into glitch hop/drumstep confirm whether or not this is a song with a different name?

https://stessie.newgrounds.com/

Another MDK song?

Hmm...

You're listening to a t h i r t y s e c o n d d e m o

It's in the tags!

self explanatory

Found a couple punks on here that have been getting a ton of listeners and a but of a following. All links are posted below !

What's poppin' people. I got more suspicious audio tracks to look into. If you know 'em, then report 'em.

February 22nd - 29th

Vocals not in English

Familiar, but don't know exact name.

Suspicious Audio

What happens to profiles that are made just for the sole purpose of posting one stolen audio (most likely for geometry dash) they favorite their own audio, and then go 100% inactive after that. I think those are called "throw away" accounts if I'm correct. Do they just take up space, or do some of them eventually come back and make an effort to do their own thing?

Deletion if their name resembles or outright impersonates the original artist. Otherwise they'll get a permaban but it's still their account and often left alone, it's still theirs to do whatever.

There are like 50 copied songs posted every day from unscouted artists trying to get megalovania into gd and stuff because they didn’t read the rules, not much anyone can do about it. As long as it doesn’t get on the portal it’s fine

sorry if any of this is already written in the rules but I have a few questions.

Are non-copyrighted samples allowed for future funk or lofi mixes?

Are cover songs allowed with correct crediting and no samples?

Should I be reporting the hundreds of copyrighted songs from unscouted artists? There are so many of them and to be honest they should just be ignored as long as they are unscouted.

And I recommend adding a system where geometry dash whitelisted artists have some mark to indicate it, so the geometry dash players are at least directed to songs that they can actually uses.

thanks

The whole whitelist system should be reset and taken a little more seriously. It literally says not to post songs that aren’t yours with a massive sign, and people just ignore it. Meanwhile there are tons of artists who post original songs and don’t get whitelisted. I think there should also be a whole seperate audio section for geometry dash players trying to find music to use so they are kept in one place and don’t have to keep guessing to find whitelisted artists.

Uses pre-made loops from "Groove pad". Here's a video example using the same samples.

While I cannot say it's stolen outright, the user uploaded the same song two more times which I presume falls under spam.

Again, pre-made samples from Groove Pad.

I just wanted to point out that I post my stuff both here and on SoundCloud. I'm not infringing on my own rights am I?

I tend to update them here as I can't on SoundCloud

Check the reviews

Not stolen, but the original song is in the background

I believe this impersonator account should have been deleted a long time ago:

warakofficial.newgrounds.com

Adding to the earlier conversation, I think RobTop said he would make song browsing work within GD itself for 2.2 so you don't have to visit Newgrounds. He said the only songs that would show up are ones by approved and whitelisted artists. Maybe this could discourage song theft even further...

Also, what about a system where unscouted artists have to have audio approved by mods before they're made available? Or has that been tried before?
