That would likely be my or @Peregrinus' doing. Haven't checked to see. But no, thank you. Enjoy the shiny new whistle. You earned it!

That's really sweet of you -- just be careful. Some songs remain up because they in fact aren't stolen. Usually a mod will have commented this but sometimes we forget or just don't have the time

I realized that I just have to flag songs instead of having to come the the Audio Portal Cleanup thread, so I have been doing that instead and got Deity Whistle. Also I flag songs not just to help NG but to help GD as well so both platforms are in less risk of legal issues.

This song is suspicious.
Its the only song by him and for some reason it sounds good. Not specified where made.

I look up his name, he got an SoundCloud account and the same song is also here
https://soundcloud.com/user-398507121/dnb-power-bit
And the way he type on his Bio there and on NG seem legit, though on SoundCloud, its seems his Bio is in Spanish while NG is English.
It look legit but oddly enough the song is from 2016 and he got other song not published on NG so I have no idea.
Went through Undiscovered Artists of July 2019, and found these suspicious audios.
July 1st - July 31st
Song in other language
Japanese
Russian
Espanol
Suspicious Audio
Phonk music, possibly Freddie Dredd?
Can't find the original cover for these two.

Some Russian artist. It always depresses me when these aren't legit. There's so little Russian music on NG. I'm always excited to leave a review and be like "yeah, let some english speaker try and read this LOL" in b4 google translate
Nice catches all around. I gave one or two the benefit of the doubt but a lot of the foreign language ones admitted straight out to being stolen. Ex: Не моя музыка, трек не мой, no es mio. One of them for some reason typed english sentences with Russian keyboard spellings which was wild to read

this guy uploaded several remixes of the same song. must be stolen...
It looks like he was uploading people's covers of his own works. So basically yes.
@LexRodent, second opinion?

Waow, we're out of flags! The ban hammer got a good workout.
I want to note though from your flags that remixes don't necessarily break the rules.
An example here is music by @F-777, who is on NG and uploads music under a creative commons license. So long as the remixer put in reasonable effort they're usually fine.
If they just speed it up or change the pitch, different story.
Same story for some of the GD and FNF music, which comes from NG originally. Some dummies still don't know they can access it on the audio portal already, and someone also mistakenly flagged the guy who made some music for one of the FNF mods (MikeGeno, who has been verified by me)

Agree. That fellow may be the author of the original theme, but whatever additional work and/or improvement that was build upon the original , belongs to the respective authors.
If it's not a collab, can't claim the authorship of those.
Musicians make music , producers make products. * drops mic :D

I think Newgrounds should fix this. I know the song won't load because it got deleted, but why is it still on the search? It happened like 10 times. It also makes peoples devices lag.
Yeah that's been an issue for a while now. It's known but a low priority over some other things. Keep in mind the admin team is very small.

Hey audio mods. I found this remix a couple months ago of virtual riots evil game boy. It was already put in the cleanup back in early 2015 and was not removed because it is an original remix. I have searched for a while on yt and SoundCloud to find this author anywhere else, but I cannot. The author of this remix hasn’t contributed anything else to this site, but I don’t see any geometry dash tags or anything so I don’t think it was for geometry dash. This remix is definitely legitimate so I would say not remove it. So if someone like @Gregthemtnboy stumbles upon it, do not flag it. https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/593311
ONCE AGAIN, DO NOT REMOVE IT, I AM JUST SAYING THAT THIS IS AN ORIGINAL REMIX.
lol hi ._.

The way it's described looks sus to me, having done this for a while. Where did you find a quote that it was legitimate?

From step. The thing that makes me think this is legit is that it has no geometry dash tags nor in the description. https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1375322/15#bbspost25520654_post_text

Removed. Other songs on the account were preexisting by different YT accounts or memes.

You can cover or remix any freaking song you want and upload it here without the original artist's permission via licensing because copyright laws say so. At least in the United Shits of America. What? Did you think the original artists gave consent for that Kidz Bop shit? Licensing laws say fuck the original artist, and that's that.
As far as I know, covers of any copyrighted song, huge no-no. You still have to have mechanical licenses to publish the work and make any monetary gain from it.
