Rip best demon ever

too bad people don't check songs...

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2015-12-29 19:51:34


Stolen per description.

What's the point of posting songs that are already on NG?

DJVI per description.

Etzer's infamous Eighto screaming video with some random samples.

Advice for sweeping: browse through the users reviewing tracks by @Rukkus.

Oh yeah, and this guy Gragon73 from those reviews is a complete noob and his songs sound really crappy.

That's somewhat true

Rukkus is Nightkilla, as far as I know, so I don't think these songs are stolen.

Heck, a lot of people just go blindly reporting other users without first checking that they are the person who made the songs. This has happened with other 2 legitimate users, ThisIsTheFatRat (TheFatRat) and HolyYeah (member of the Bossfight band) because their songs were already available elsewhere. That, since Geometry Dash 1.9. Just imagine if F-777's Newgrounds account was called "JesseValentine" (F-777's real name), if that was the case, he would probably have been already reported twice here now.

I think this is stolen. His art is/was stolen, so I asked him about his music. Most real artists want to tell you all about how they made it. Not him.

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2015-12-30 16:49:57


Please get rid of this song. It's obviously stolen. (Wiggle by Minecrafter55)

That's not what I was saying - I looked through all of the users who had posted reviews on Rukkus/NK's track Fairydust and found a good number of Geometry Dash song dumpers.

Yes, but we know those people are legit now and they won't get reported.
It takes a bit of time to get in contact with them, and a bit for the word to get around that it is really them, but we figure it out quickly and know whether to ban them or not.

I took @Gragon73's advice on how to sweep, but i did it with F-777's song Sound of Infinity.

This uses Apple Loops. Specifically, "80s Dance Pad 01" and "Electronic Drum Beat 02".

Self-explanatory.

And then... i went to Deadlocked.

Oh boy.

If the tags and title weren't enough,

here you go.

I've heard this before; but searching "Gameboy EDM" and "Gameboy dubstep" didn't show me this particular song. But there's no way this can be original.

The description says it's not his.

>:C

Stolen from Tommy '86.

After all of these other songs posted by this guy, i can tell the description is just a blatant

lie.

Description says it's made by someone else.

Description says it's made by someone else.

I'm not sure about this one... the description says it uses a plugin called "FL Midis" so this

might

be a midi swap. I've never heard of the plugin before...

Description gives a link to the original song. Which, by the way, is

this.

The description says it's for GD, and the tags contain the artist to Pixelated Madness... which he also stole.

I've reported a song very similar to this already... it's the first 10 seconds of Geometrical Dominator.

Both of these songs are the exact same thing, and they both say he/she doesn't own the song.

Description says it's for GD, and that he doesn't own it.

Stolen from LMFAO.

Now that's just sad...

Would this count? I'm not sure... either way, the licensing terms need to be adjusted.

Also, as a bonus, there's an abusive review on page 12!

this song is copyrighted Stolen - 3xtonic

He/she gave a 10/10.

That was fun, i stopped after page 22... anyone want to continue sweeping? :P

(P.S: Somewhere along the lines, i went to the unscouted audio artists list, and i found this guy. i don't even have to listen to the songs to tell that they're stolen.)

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2015-12-31 17:24:28


I'm REALLY not sure how this stayed for a couple of years unnoticed.

It's just a slowed down version of Blue Marine by ParagonX9

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-01-01 06:55:02

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-01-01 17:35:39


totally not stolen

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-01-01 17:43:49 (edited 2016-01-01 17:49:22)


Watching random "level request" twitch streams really helps...

Self-explanatory.

Stolen from iTownGamePlay.

This is Brock Lesnar's theme.

I'll give him this, it's not John Cena...

"This can't be original, but i can't find any proof that this is stolen; i'll just put it here for anyone who knows."

I didn't read the short description.

Appearently it's from here,

but i'm too lazy to check where :P

Stolen from F-777.

This is fun :)

EDIT: While i don't think the audio mods can do anything about this, this guy has three different accounts. Does this break any NG rules?

Yes. Sockpuppeting for spamming on the forums or breaking any other portal rules isn't allowed AFAIK. Anyway, all accounts removed and permabanned.

That and all his other songs removed, and user banned. He seemed to be treating NG as a mere file sharing site.

Skrillex. Why is it that Skrillex fans can't understand the "if you didn't make it, don't submit it" concept? Y'know, they used to say rap made you stupid... ;)

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-01-02 13:20:57


Are MIDIs downloaded from Internet permitted on Newgrounds? I just reviewed this track that, per author comments, doesn't have an original/made from scratch melody.

Just a warning; RobTop released a song teaser, and most people think it's MDK - Fingerbang... a song that isn't on newgrounds. Guard the recent audio section at all costs.

Also, in a search for "apple loops"...

Description says it's made with apple loops, but i'm not really sure...

Description said it was made completely with Apple Loops. I recognize some of them...

Description (kinda subtly) says it's made entirely with apple loops. And yeah, i recognize the 80s Dance Pad in the background...

Description says it's made entirely out of apple loops. I don't recognize any of them... it's a shame, this sounds nice :(

Description said it was made completely with Apple Loops. I recognize the Secret Agent Guitar or whatever it's called...

Description says it's made entirely out of apple loops. I recognize one guitar loop but that's it...

Gonna sweep Deadlocked tomorrow, page 23 and beyond... wish me luck.

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-01-03 09:31:59


This guy's other stuff is all stolen as well.

It's time... Deadlocked. Page 23 and beyond.

Stolen from Xeuphoria.

Stolen from AdhesiveWombat.

Stolen from Surgeon Simulator.

Description says "on youtube to newgrounds". I couldn't find the exact thing this guy was copying,

but i came close.

Description says someone else made it.

Description says someone else made it.

Description says someone else made it... i'm starting to see a trend here.

Stolen from TheFatRat.

Stolen from Skrillex.

Fuck humanity.

I can't find any proof that this is stolen, but i firmly believe this is stolen. Mods?

Stolen from dj-Nate.

Description says "it's adapted from synthesia," which, as far as i know, means it's a MIDI swap (technically).

Same artist as above, and the piano sounds the same. Probably also a MIDI swap. Not sure about his/her other stuff.

Description says it's made by someone else.

Description says it's for Geometry Dash.

Uses Apple Loops. I can tell. (And the mods that took down the other loop sounds should be able to tell as well...)

Apple Loops... the guy even says he uses GarageBand.

Stolen from Digital Insanity.

Stolen from whatever the fuck this is supposed to be.

Stolen from NicoNicoDouga, appearently.

Stolen from Dr. Phonics.

This has always been on Newgrounds. There is virtually no reason for this stolen audio to exist. Fuck humanity.

Stolen from Disfigure.

Self-explanatory.

Self-expla- wait are you fucking kidding me?

STOP >:V

Stolen from Aether Tune.

Stolen from Teminite.

At this point, i stopped, because reviews started to date back to 2013.
Now i have more cancer than Riot's twitch chat.

Song alert! The Geometry Dash 2.1 song teaser has been released. The most popular theory is that it is Fingerbang by MDK. It isn't on Newgrounds so lots of plebs are going to try and post the song here. Tighten up the security here, especially the Recently Shared Audio. We need to make sure nobody is trying to steal it...

BTW Hexhammer: u wot m9

It seems that many people are trying to upload it to bypass the lockdown on that song.
@BrokenDeck Is it safe for me to say that from now on anyone who tries to bypass said lockdown will not only have that song removed, but will be permabanned as well?

Of course we could get MDK to join NG early, to cause less havoc.
(At this point it's pretty much inevitable that he will end up doing it sooner or later.)

EDIT: None yet. Surprising.

Produced by Ephixa. The user doesn't take any credit on this, but I think that uploading other people's work is not allowed.

It's a remix of his song and Ephixa is a very good friend of Dex. I do not know why Ephixa didn't upload it on his account though.

YES.
Even though, now that 2.0 is out, the 'lockdown' on that song was removed.
I have, however, seen (and reported) a couple uploads using the audio from the 2.0 sneak peek.

If the lockdown on the song has been removed, this should theoretically avert the problem. Should. There are no guarantees that it would, but it should. If they try and upload the song again, though, despite the lack of a lockdown, it's outright plagiarism and they should know better...
