you must be joking

No

Irrelevant, they didn't upload it here. The program compared the works and noted similarities enough to pull the song.

.

I accidentally closed a case to a song that I want to be appealed to.

Find it here.

I did not copy "8bit" by FLAMEE. "8bit" by FLAMEE doesn't exist so I couldn't have infringed on copyright. Please unban me.

I accidentally closed the case on my copyright appeal:

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/61619

My track is seen as potentially infringing "Welcome to Bird World" by Leon. It hasn't gotten a single approval for over a week!

I accidentally uploaded the same song twice. So, I got flagged for copying my own music...

You don't need to post twice in the same day

Crap. I'm new to NG, alright? I thought I posted it in the wrong forum.

Greetings,

My audio from quite a long time ago was copyrighted and caused my account to be on hold.

Context:

I have made a track and was pretty proud of it back then, so i decided to post here since i dont really do it often.

When i first finished editing, I was striked with a copyright infringement and for me it was nothing really.

I did what i wouldve normally done and ive appealed, gave all the info i had to prove it was my original creation.

After a couple days, the audio was approved:

I went and edited the project so i could make it public and this is what i saw:

It wasnt really a big deal so i appealed one last time (didnt work) and just forgot about it.

Now its June and im willing to upload more of my original music and maybe get it verified so it could get used in Geometry Dash.

I got the mp3 file ready and exported from my daw (FL Studio 20) and went to publish it and then it said that my account was still on hold for copyright.

I was and still am furious, I have already appealed for an audio, it gotten approved and my account is still dealing with this problem that was clearly supposed to end.

I tried to delete the audio, but i couldnt edit it.

Searched on Youtube for some tutorials, didnt find any.

Did a post on my account, went to the forums and asked for help and someone was nice enough to lead me here.

Im willing to give the most information about the audio, even show pictures of proof that i own it. Just to get it deleted and upload my new track.

Hi, i got banned from uploading audio, i sent a Skrillex MIDI from a converter to MP3 to MIDI (Thinking that it wouldnt have copyright that way) and i got banned, i thought that bad MIDI's were allowed, and now i dont know what to do. i really didn't know that was banned. if the moderators need the audio i Will give it so they can review it. (Btw i am not english so this text probably has a lot of grammar issues)

If the final product was a very mildly altered Skrillex track, meaning you uploaded non original audio, meaning you violated at least 1 of the top 3 rules of newgrounds

Audio must be original, you cannot upload other people's creations or you will be banned.

Well, what can i do to get unbanned?

Different appeals for different tracks. You've had two separate appeals, untitled #4654065 which was approved and then rather than working in the same file you opened a second project for Ghost Town which got flagged again (since the system views tracks separately.

Anyways, sorted. Pick one of those files, to continue with the same audio.

You closed your own appeal.

You were banned by a moderator for two reasons:

1) You may not upload a cover or remix of an unlicensed commercial song; and

2) You may not upload a MIDI-rip or 1:1 recreation with new instruments.

As your ban was levied by a moderator for two separate rule infringements, it will not be appealed. You are presented several times the need to only upload things you have full rights to during the upload process.

It's ok, i probably deserved it. But i still dont understand wdym i closed my appeal. But still, i probably deserved it.

Thanks for the reply

It's been a little over 3 days now and it says this, however, that was an old account of mine and the original song and account no longer exist on that account as it is on this new account. This is also a remix of the original audio and should be considered "derivative".

The reason I am here on this audio appeal thread is because there has been a hold on my account due to copyright, and it's also been 8 days. I know this sounds embarrassing, but the way this happened was because I was originally trying to upload my ORIGINAL song, but it didn't work for some reason. And so, I tried uploading another file, but I misclicked and hit the wrong audio file, which was a song I had downloaded that wasn't mine. Before I knew it, it was too late, and it had already been requested for copyright checks, and then I had a hold on my account. I saw a link that told me I was able to appeal until July 2nd, and so I clicked on it and wrote my appeal. However, I think the case got closed on July 1st, saying that I was not the owner of the appeal or that the case was closed. Here is the appeal link (if this even matters): https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/edit/63937. Hopefully I will be allowed to make audio again, and if I am allowed to again, I would be willing to remove the audio I accidentally submitted.

Recently I posted a song I made to Newgrounds, and it almost instantly got infringed. I checked to see what the issue was, and it was the intro sample which is a synth. the sample I used for the synth is royalty-free and it was provided by Splice. All samples from Splice.com are free to use and have no royalties over them. I really hope someone can get to this quickly because I can't upload my music because of a copyright issue on a royalty free sample.

Here is a link to the song: https://soundcloud.com/user-179564934/hypnotized-1?si=b562f91e50b54328bbd6dbb7db937cd8&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing

Also here is picture evidence that the sample I used was provided by Splice:

Heya, I can look into this for you.

Could you DM me a picture of the DAW Project's sequencer/timeline please? (showcasing all samples, MIDI Clips/Patterns, Recordings etc.)

Of course, The project Is missing some drum samples due to me deleting some folders to clean up space but here it is.

Hi, I used GarageBand stock loops and got banned. I completely understand that it is my fault and I want to know when the ban time would end

Hello, I have been banned for uploading me beatboxing over the following song: Fingerbang by MDK. Please unban me

I made an appeal for the bot and accidentally put the entire song of speed of light. I only meant to put 5 seconds of it. please don't ban me :( https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/65323

Hello moderator, I was banned from the audio portal sometime back due to having the same sound loops with some other guy in my music. I figured out recently that this lovely portal thrives on originality with 0 stock loops.

But I was wondering...

How long does my ban last exactly? It's been a really long time and I've learnt from my mistakes.

While I'm aware of the chances it may take years, it would mean a lot to know the duration of the ban.

Tq and have a nice day

If no ban length is specified, it is permanent.

You only just sought out recommendations for new DAW despite this being applied in 2021. Take some time to find one and get used to it, we may reconsider if you can show in good faith that you've put effort into following the rules.

Alright, thank you moderator!

Good Afternoon Pingu! How are you doing today?

I was messaging in regard to a song that I had recently uploaded and had gotten a message from P-bot about. The song that I had made had used one main sampled loop for the intro that P-bot from GarageBand which I did bring up in the appeal, I was mainly confused from the rules from GarageBand Loops being in public domain and Newgrounds rules on loops which being the part where saying there will be lenience towards loops from apps. But none the less, That was a mistake on my behalf. I’m also not fully aware how long the hold will last on the account? I do strongly apologize for using a GarageBand loop throughout the song and I won’t be using any from now on on Newgrounds. It was that I had looked past the rule but I also understand that my ignorance to the rule is no such excuse for it either and I will own up to that I had used one loop. (Even though it was one, I do understand that the rules do state none.) I would just like to know how long the hold will last and I do strongly apologize for this inconvenience.

I hope you have a Great Day 😁👍🏾!

I don't have a new message

Because that post was not directed at you

I accidentally closed the case on my copyright appeal.

My track, "I Highly Regret It", is seen as potentially infringing "Welcome to Bird World" by Leon. It hasn't gotten a single approval for over a month!

I swear to God I did not copy that song! I barely even heard of it! All I did is use the following VSTs and DAWs to create this track!
