Geometry Dash was removed from all stores. That's why.

The play store on my tablet still has it, and if so wouldn't the game still be accessible to existing people who purchased it previously?

Yeah, i still have Flappy Bird on my phone after all these years and it still works fine. Geometry Dash should still be functional as long as the servers don't go down.

Ok nevermind I lied

MP3 to midi is not original, especially when it's just a bunch of mashing piano notes that are unpleasant to the ears

Indeed, but the whole GD community is in a bit of a violent panic right now following the removal from Steam, a bit distracted from stealing songs. You should see how much people are freaking out on places like twitter. GD fans are not the most level-headed group, as has even been demonstrated in this thread.

Though it's apparently due to Nintendo copyrighted images being used as achievement pictures and not from the petition here on NG. Bit ironic that it's copyrighted images that screwed it and not copyrighted songs, but it'll probably be back up soon enough.

Oh boy, another one.

Low quality audio and definitely stolen.

No official song name, just "Amazing songs"

"Just a song for geometry dash"

All I've seen of it when searching on youtube is "Panda Remix" and not Panda Eyes.

Also, some new things came in. Definitely not the original creators.

You're welcome. I've been a very inactive lurker until now, and I've been posting a lot due to the recent drama surrounding Geometry Dash. Thought I'd help find some audio submissions that aren't original.

S3RL is a well-known artist, so indeed it was stolen. But, for the future, just because it says "geometry dash" it is never good to jump to conclusions it's stolen. This is how MonsterboyGD ended up reporting a long thread of legit submissions and accused they were stolen because the description or title said "for Geometry Dash".

I'll try to be more cautious about songs that say their for Geometry Dash if I can't find a good source. It's really hard to tell seeing as some people are desperate to use songs in Geometry Dash but don't want to say an actual source because then they'll get taken down. Gonna also be more cautious about songs without an obvious source that I don't know the original song of, but don't have a "Geometry Dash" anywhere in the description or title. Sometimes it's really hard to tell.

You could always do what I do. I either bookmark the song and because I'm constantly listening to EDM (primarily dubstep, but that's most of the stolen stuff here anyways) I may eventually run into it, and then report it to here. Or, if I absolutely KNOW a song is stolen and I don't know where, I usually PM a mod directly because they have the power to investigate or I make it obvious in my report that I'm familiar with this song but don't know the name.

Reviews are these little comment thingies that you leave for whoever submitted something. You can tell than what you think of their submission and give praise, criticism, or tips about their work, or you can also ask questions.

Here's a photo of an actual review, captured in its natural habitat!

Part 2.

Ok, seriously, reviews save the submission in your review list, so it's always there for you to find. Sometimes, I use them to ask the author about work that might be stolen or otherwise rule-breaking. Then, once I've researched it, I can find it again. Occasionally, the author will rat out their own submission, as long as you play it cool and don't tip them off.

Now, see what happened to the submission? ;)

Ask them how long it took to create, what software they used, or where they found it; basically something so they'll have to give up more information about it. That'll often tip you off.

You can as long as you don't make it obvious. Did you see part 2 above? Make a review and ask something that'll make them think you're interested and want more info. Sometimes, they'll incriminate themselves with a reply like; "It's actually by a guy named Skrillex. His music sux but I post it here for GD! Everyone likes it and the mods haven't found me yet!! :D" ...Love those replies. >:3

Examples of good and bad marker reviews:

GOOD: Cool stuff! What software did you use to make this?

BAD: You stole this and I'll report you as soon as I find out where it's from.

GOOD: I like the [insert comments here]. How long did it take to create?

BAD: This is not yours!! I just don't know whose it is. TELL ME!!

GOOD: [Comment about the music] Do you have more music posted anywhere? I didn't see any links in your artist profile.

BAD: FAG! FAG! FAG! FAG! FAG! FAG! FAG! And, you're a thief, too! D:<

GOOD: This is good. Did you make it yourself? If not, where did you find it, and is there more?

BAD: This is stolen and I'm going to report you as soon as I finish masturbating to this hentai porn.

All removed between @Mich and myself. One guy you found had 12 stolen works so that kept me busy for a minute. The last one tried to pass off "Owen Was Her", not actual proper name, but if I recall correctly, it's a Touhou song. Man, listening to memes pays off. Watch out for the niconico douga renditions of that mp3. They're even more popular.

@Jackho @Cank @BlueAlpha14, I think we have our proof that the removal from Steam has done no good. HOWEVER, the birds are chirping that change is indeed going to occur in the GD app itself, which will (hopefully) make it VERY difficult for stolen music to get into the game without the users pulling the "play any song over the game" trick noted in my last news post, as well as give submitters the freedom to choose whether they want their music featured or not, which has purportedly been in the works for months.

People are still stealing songs despite the way Newgrounds and Geometry Dash songs now work.

What about removing the custom music privelege? Because, these guys have done more than just steal songs, and I think the majority of them shouldn't be rewarded with a privelege for their disrespect.

We could, but that would do more harm than good, as well as punish the people that actually aren't harming our community, but have come here in peace, so to speak, whether to share their craft, inspired by GD, or otherwise. I'm hoping in the future NG artists start getting rev shares for track use in NG, but at the least, we will all be able to disable our songs for custom levels until that happens.
