You lost your scout and associated priviliges for scouting users with stolen material. Twice, from the looks of it. The person who most recently scouted you were themselves pruned which may have contributed in some way.

GUSTAVOEGATOTV

Jul 24, 2023


I'm a music producer, and i LOVE Newgrounds but, everytime i upload a song, I need to prove that I'm the artist who made the song.

Ok, but, I was going to upload my new song, "R EVOLUÇÃO", but I accidentally uploaded "OÃDILOS" (a song that I've already published), I got blocked again, and, because I've already published this song, I asked the copyright bot to delete the song, so I could create another project and upload the right track.


Is this release: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/65424


And, I ask the staff, please remove this copyright infringement, and let me upload my songs to NG.. :(


And, if possible, to set the bot to never block my upload, when the copyrighted song has "GUSTAVOEGATOTV" as the artist of the song.


Thanks in advance! <3

Hi, Newgrounds blocked me from uploading music because my soundtrack "Dead Star" matched to "Stop The Rain" by Ed Sheeran... My soundtrack is original and both songs are nothing similar, I mean for real not even the inst are the same... It's just not fair that music made by me gets flagged by a random song that I didn't know it existed... I have proof that I made this soundtrack (if it's necessary to upload it) it's 3 days and got no response... Here is my appeal https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/edit/67770 just gonna wait for someone to respond

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2023-08-03 12:25:07


Hey! I'm new here and I'd like to ask for some help. I was flagged a few days ago because speed up edit of my song was matched with another song (original edit wasn't flagged, though). But the song that was matched is totally different from mine. Probably the reason for blocking was the presence of a similar sound effect with applause in the copyrighted song, which was taken from copyright-free soundpack.

I filed an appeal, but I accidentally closed it. I found this thread and hope you can help me with this. If you need proof that I am the creator of this song, please let me know here. Thanks!

Your appeal was closed by staff. It was not a valid appeal, you uploaded something which didn't belong to you. Speeding up something doesn't make it yours.

I appreciate the detailed write up, you should have a PM about this.


Reminder to folks that soundtrap (and bandlab, magix, soundation, chrome music lab, groovepad etc) are all notorious for stock loops and will likely be picked up by the bot. Newgrounds has a policy against over reliance on these stock loops and generally the programs as a whole.


Music Maker Restrictions


You may not upload music made with Magix Music Maker Jam, Soundation, you.dj, Ampify or BandLab (the mobile app, not Cakewalk).

bandlab the desktop app is in a weird grey space, just don't rely on the stock loops packages


Besides falling under the Stock Loops rule, Magix Music Maker Jam automatically puts all songs you create with it under its own license - uploading the song to Newgrounds is in violation of that license.


Soundation and you.dj have similar issues where you do not retain full rights to the music you create using these services.


You may not use stock loops/samples in an unoriginal arrangement.


There are plenty of pre-made loop packages available. Simply mixing these loops isn't your own original work; you will need to make more effort to create something unique.


Music made with Groovepad and similar software falls under the stock loops category.

Hello! I make this music over 2 hours and when I uploaded this music here, I got a supposed copyright. Let's say. But it doesn't even have the part that caused the music to be temporarily suspended. The main complaint is here:

Hello.


So I accidently closed an appeal of one of my songs that got wrongfully taken down, all because the copyright bot detected that it was on major streaming platforms. And my account still has a hold on it and I can't upload any audio. Is there anyway to fix this, or do I have to wait or something?


Here's my Spotify btw.

Hey! So yeah, I was too late to appeal to a moderator about my song "Music Box" which P-Bot said was similar to "BODY by REVENGE BEATZ" despite them both sounding a lot different from each other. But I was confused about when I checked at the guidelines for audio, it says that stock loops are not allowed in a unoriginal composition, but I did use a stock loop but added more to it like original composition.

Was it allowed?

Hello good sir/ma’am/the’m, I got my Audio permissions revoked for posting a song I had posted on an older, deleted account called CarlzKey. (Long story short, RitzRadio was a damn teacher’s pet.) I am AlexiABall and I kindly request for my audio permissions back. I have the original files of the songs on the older account jsyk.

I thought I'd like to try to check this thread out.

Essentially my account was on put on hold since April of this year because the scanner detected I'd copyright infringed these songs

  • "Not Serious", by TJ L
  • "LaFlame", by KiddDupre
  • "Cold World", by DoloMaine

So 5 months ago me's reaction was to crappily make a joke out of my appeal, I think i said something along the lines of 'I didn't steal anything!!!'.


I regret doing that

So I may be asking a lot but I'd really like if my account was put out of hold cause i really didn't infringe and songs and ive been missing out on a lot of cool audio collabs so yeah.

I''d really like for something to look into to this and appeal my ban or hold or whatever man!!

Hello, on September 4th I wanted to publish a song here, but Newgrounds said that I had copied these songs:


"Crickets" by Kim J.

"Curandero" by Olivier Giacomotto

"naarciss" by Narciss


I don't know those songs, plus they don't look AT ALL like my song, it's not the first time this has happened to me, and I'm already fed up.

There's a possibility these artists used the same samples as you did in your work. If they're royalty free, this is no problem. It's just severely annoying. Write all the details you can in your appeal.

I don't want to even upload the song, and it was unfinished anyway. can i please be unbanned and the song be removed? thanks for your time :)

Ban reduced. The song appeal will still remain in our records, but you will be in the clear. Let us know if you experience any bugs. You can ask around for music production software here in the audio forum. I recommend Reaper as a starting point. It has a nice unlimited trial. I also occasionally post music freebies in my news
