ANOTHER Skrillex song stolen. It says that in the description. That " Do not upload if it's not your song" think isn't working

A lot of Geometry Dash kids just don't give a shit about the rules.

A least I don't upload other people's songs

It's endless, isn't it? A quick search and you crop up with more. I had one guy try to tell me today that we don't know the GD users' struggle, and that people would stop uploading stolen songs to Newgrounds if the GD creator partnered with SoundCloud, or that they would stop doing it when their favorite artists came to NG, or if RobTop made a deal with their favorite artists to come up with new levels.

Raises some serious questions with me. What struggle? Not being able to jump over triangles with a sidescrolling cube to a Skrillex song because someone hasn't stolen it successfully yet? What, they'd rather go to SoundCloud because it's easier to pirate songs there? Instead of harassing their favorite artists to come to a site that probably never crosses said artists' mind, they think by uploading songs repeatedly, they're going to get them to upload them themselves?

All this just highlights how entitled the culture of smartphone and tablet users (and youth) has become lately. People discover NG through GD, don't give a shit that by uploading stolen songs for their little fix, they're causing a ton of legal problems, and blame the system when they can't get away with it. Other communities don't matter until they get in the way of what's on that little screen.

Anyway, have some cleanup fodder. I stumbled on a gem.

All this guy's submissions are stolen for geometry dash.

Back with more.

Well known Skrillex song.

Another well-known Skrillex song.

Can't find exact song on youtube, but at the very least has copyrighted audio.

Actually, all of XtrullorX's audio is stolen too.

http://xtrullorx.newgrounds.com/

More stolen Skrillex for GD.

Copyrighted audio all the way around. Skrillex mashed with Katy Perry... very badly.

"Not owned by me"

"I DO NOT OWN THIS"

Another stolen Skrillex remix. Same mp3 as one of the others listed I think.

"Not owned by me" and "I did not make this" songs

This one below samples Skrillex

PSA: If you come across a song that sounds too good to be true/stolen, but aren't sure whether it is or not, Shazam is a great tool for finding these. Helped me with a few, actually.

I Googled "Marshmello" and found a bunch of crap for us to clean up. Here we go!

This is a re-uploaded version of Slushii's remix of Marshmello's Alone. Here's the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IkYw6OSNhW8

Oh yeah, I also stumbled upon this. The fact that it says "Usable Version" in the title should be a large red flag. In the description, it admits he stole it from this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxIofYrt0kE

As the title says, this is Marshmello's remix of Adele's Hello. Here's a link to the original:

https://vimeo.com/147050023

Marshmello's remix of Flash Funk. Here's the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQX9x6P5w7k

Straight up upload of Marshmello's Alone, except it's the music video cut instead of the original, lol. If you're gonna re-upload the song, do the right version at least. Here's the original:

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

Another re-upload of Alone. This guy used the wrong version, too. Here's the original:

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

Stolen upload of Marshmello's remix of Alan Walker's Sing Me to Sleep. Here's the original:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jsmbXhhPpy8

That's all. Have fun.

Did uh... did my posts from pages 79 and 80 not pop up? It's been a week and nothing has been removed from those posts.
Not rushing or anything, it's just that mods have been active here and yet it seems i was ignored.

Ignored? No. We try to keep up with stuff, but we mods don't get paid for this. We're all people with lives and jobs. And I can tell you that audio mods have the largest chunk of work. it's easy to tell if a movie or image is stolen. Audio takes a little more researching, tho.

I will also say this: large posts are most likely to get missed, because if you start on a list and then run out of time, another mod might start, see that things have been removed, and not finish the list, assuming it's been completed. Often, I don't start the large lists if I know I can't finish them. Other mods may be similar.

So, yes, sometimes, things do get missed. But, it's always ok to post reminders like this.

I'm short on time tonight, so I won't be able to get to those this evening. If they're still there later, tho.... ;)

Stolen from Stephen Universe Soundtrack

He's using reviews to ask people to scout him, presumably for use with GD.

That's almost exactly like this guy who submitted the same song and was begging to be scouted in (non)reviews and PMs back on the 6th! I mean sure, the song is nice and all, but seriously--claiming to be the show's creator? Riiight, because that's likely.

All 4 uploads are most likely other people's songs. At least two are outright admitted they are someone else's.

This screams weird to me. Usually, the "Official" channel on YouTube is outright the same artist, or that artist's manager, etc. The fact that he's saying he won't answer emails at the email listed on the SoundCloud, the links are oddly posted, and he seems to be a relatively famous artist (compared to say, me) screams that this isn't him. Very dodgy. Needs some research. I mean, how hard is it to find out where someone lives, their age, and full name if you grab their facebook profile? Plus, one of the song names is misspelled.

@psychopath @nekomika Figured you guys might want a look at this stuff. Just took a stroll through the new unscouted and noticed some stolen content right off the bat. This GD stuff is getting way out of hand. Years ago, the unscouted content usually just sucked. Now it all sounds great -- because it's stolen for GD.

Stolen for GD and/or Copyrighted

Extremely suspicious, 99% sure stolen

Oh forgot I put this here, I actually got word from Tom that even though its a 100% cover, BMI have taken issue with NG of late and he didn't want to fuel the flames by having a cover of one of their artists up.

Thanks though, but I'll take it down :D

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-12-12 22:01:26 (edited 2016-12-12 22:02:51)


Oh hey, here's another.

Stolen from TheFatRat.

Here's the original.

I love how in the description he says you must give credit to him and the artist. Like, he had to do with the creation of this song or something.

And here are a few others that might be stolen, but I can't confirm it.

I'm pretty sure this is stolen from Naruto, but my only evidence is the title of it and the quality of the song. Figured I'd post it in case.

Fairly sure this is stolen. It says GD Mix right in the title, the description says "For GD," and I've definitely heard this before in Geometry Dash.

It says "I do not own the rights in the description." Worth looking into?

Alright, that's all for now. See ya. Bye.

Response to Audio Portal Cleanup 2016-12-12 23:13:14


Submitted today from a guy that joined today. Somehow was scouted. Descrip is nonsense. Quality is too good to be a first. I've seen this guy's second submission somewhere else. This may be a new acc to circumvent ban.

Stolen from Naruto anime. Already mentioned in thread above me.

Suspect this is stolen based off of the join date and comment. And the quality.

Ripped from YT user Fernanfloo's vid of the same name. I guess at least we can thank this one for introducing me to something I liked.

"Ich Tu Dir Weh" stolen from Rammstein

This one is stolen for GD

This account is nothing but copyrighted songs sped up, miscategorized.
