Another enormous list! Great job. Went through them all, and whenever it wasn't obvious that the track was stolen, some quick Shazam and Google searches rectified that!

I really don't want to report this. I love this song although i never saw Star Wars. I am not sure if the vocals are taken from Star Wars. Also, I am a huge fan of this artist. He is somewhat of a familiar face on this thread.

Since there will be a revamp of the audio submission form soon, in my opinion (and in the opinion of other moderators too), it does more harm than good to remove pages like that which had a lot of traffic just because of a few copyrighted samples. We generally let it slide when the track in question already garnered a lot of views, especially when the track's artist is still active around here on Newgrounds, since after the revamp it shouldn't be an issue anymore.

Uses vocals from Skrillex - Make it Bun Dem. Really good song though.

All I can find for now :(

This I'll unpublish as It's relatively unknown. I also found another track on his profile that uses copyrighted samples from Frozen. Took care of that too.

There are tunes signed from metalheadz and 31 recordings in there. It's a live DJ mix that I did basically. All tunes legit bought, tracklist will be up soon (If this kinda stuff is permit would be good to get some clarification on that!), but the mixtape is not available for download.

I'm not signed to metalheadz lol :P

Another only-for-GMD-use song

Stolen per description

Stolen from "Sunshine" band. Funny thing is that the uploader even tried to claim ownership of song.

Stolen from F-777

Song is not wrong, what's wrong is the title and description. Don't forget the tags, too. EDIT: Icon is also inappropiate

Uploaded by the same user who uploaded ID 613202, which is same stolen music

Probably stolen from Skrillex

Probably from The Living Tombstone (they create FNAF songs). Also per description, and a only-for-GMD-use song.

That's not true at all, because remixes are allowed, so are rearrangments

"Remix" can mean two different things. It can either be a re-make or a remix containing copyrighted samples. The former constitutes as something self-made. The latter violates copyright.

You should really do you research before making such claims.

Sampling non-copyrighted material was never against the rules on Newgrounds.
