question: does my ban end exactly 24 hours after i recive the message of ban reduction?

Usually to the minute but sometimes it doesn't.

In this case I had to manually clear it.

Thanks!

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/73370 Hola buenas, I got a message from p-bot for some reason (he said copyright infringement), I wanted to post my song.

Here's my 2 screenshots: 1. FLP. 2. Album named "Тун)", i deleted this, because it didn't release

https://www.newgrounds.com/projects/audio/4951012 please do something, i uploaded MY OWN remix to the un-copyrighted song "SLEEPING HUMMINGBIRD - KØCMOC" gmail - rompereal@gmail.com

Is there anywhere were it is explicitly stated that the song is in the public domain? Otherwise it's highly unlikely that the ban will be revoked.

I have seen the band mention it, so for remixes with effort it isn't an issue. Many cases end up being someone slapping on some lazy distortion and calling it a "remix" though, which then falls under spam or nightcore depending on how they end up doing it. My opinion there is those low effort "remixes" are just to try and have a track for GD.

I am deeply sorry for being extremely impatient :(

My song got automatically banned because it's on major streaming platforms. I have included proofs in my appeal that it was me who uploaded them on major streaming platforms, as well as some of my official socials

Do not upload audio that you did not create and have full rights to. It mentions that several times in the upload process.

Whatever you do, never upload someone else's work as a test or placeholder. You run the very high risk of being banned automatically by the system AI, and then you will have to go through the rigors of proving you make your own music to get your publishing privileges back.

I will investigate your case and see about your ban.

ok so this is the song https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/40019

Hi, I had a track flagged for copyright infringement but accidentally closed the case (I didn't know what it did tbh). The track I uploaded was created using LABS Virtual Instruments from Spitfire Audio. I can only imagine the flag came from the atmospheric sounds in the background (these were provided in their Tundra Atmos pack).

Obviously, if this is the case, I can upload a new version without the atmospheric sounds if needs be.

If you're only concerned about the atmospheric sounds, that shouldn't be an issue. If they were released with LABS they are from my understanding royalty free. Someone must have uploaded a track using them to a streaming service, thus the detection.

I goofed and accidentally closed my appeal case. I'm still new to Newgrounds, but I'd like to make sure my appeal gets reviewed. I am currently in the process of writing infringement appeals for YouTube and Distrokid because the bot is actually the reason I found out my original songs were being redistributed.

Hopefully the team sees this, I just wanted to post my songs to Newgrounds because my community told me they'd enjoy them on this platform.

Many thanks,

Spectrumnist

I submitted #4771295

And it was flagged by pbot under an incorrect title and author. I provided links to the public domain library I obtained the music as well as the correct author's website.

It has been quite some time since I submitted my appeal and I have heard nothing back yet.

Hey

Made a mistake and uploaded the wrong file and didn't know stock samples aren't allowed. I closed the copyright case and added a mesage that I didn't know use stock samples wasn't allowed. By closing the case does this mean my issue won't be seen? Just unsure as I rushed it and assumed closing would then leave the appeal to the mods and I'd hear back or does it mean I have a ban?

Thanks

Yes, closing the case means it no longer needs review.

Stock samples ARE allowed if they are not copyrighted AND you make at least 50 percent of the composition yourself. I.e. I can use drum loops and a bass line but compose the rest of a track, keys, guitars, and solos myself, and that's fine.

Do note that sometimes a false positive happens even with this caveat because people release songs made of stock samples to spotify and other digital streaming platforms. Please be sure you only use royalty free samples and let us know if THAT happens.

I made this a while ago using when I was learing soundtrap as they loop/samples are royalty free and wanted to post my progres but most of the stuff won't qualify due to the 50% rule.

Thanks again, will make sure to not make this mistake again when I can post again :)

Soundtrap is notorious for the over reliance on loops and other rights issues and can't be hosted here.

Hello I was banned from posting audio due to a misclick in files and posting a sound clip that was not mine I will take full responsibility for taking that sound clip without permission from RWS but I would like to be unbanned for posting audio that is copyrighted by cry of fear

You've submitted rule breaking content across several Portals, and most of your reviews are low effort and make it appear as tho you'd like a ban there too. Maybe those were mis-clicks too. You show no sign that you want to have fun, enjoy Newgrounds, and be a productive member of the community. You're on a reduced audio ban. Your request is declined.

Do better in the future, and maybe you won't be banned here, and on Steam.

Well peace out random internet dude I'm going to go say my goodbyes and pack up shop

Hello! Recently I tried to post a song that uses a couple samples. When it was put on hold I was told that it sounded like a song by Talha Çelik called "Tiktok Monday". I don't even know if I can access the song because every site I try to use either doesn't have it or says I can't listen to it because I am outside of their country or territory. My main concern here is I may have goofed and closed the appeal on my end accidentally. What should I do?

I've been unable to find the AI tagged song despite searching. I've reopened your appeal. What you can do now is thoroughly lay out where your samples came from, if they are royalty free, and approximately how much of the song is your own work, versus how much of it is loops and samples. Be specific about which elements you composed yourself or wrote. We have a semi-strict rule that 50% of your submission should be your own production, composition, and arrangement.

Thank you so much for your reply and help!

So I re-uploaded a song that was on my old and deleted account and it got flagged by the system. Both this account and the old account have the same email and password, so that’s proof the song is mine. “Edgeration” I called the song. The old account was called “CarlzKey” if you need to know more information.

I misclicked and uploaded a copywrited song to projects. How do I delete, it was a mistake and I never made it public.

this is my appeal: https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/78206

Hey, I made a song a while back in 2013 that used a drum, base and synth sample. I neglected to read the audio guidelines and the forth scenario happened to me when I filmed my appeal. I didn’t realize it was meant to be open and I thought that closing the case would file the appeal only to find out it meant something else after the fact. If there’s any way you guys coul help me delete the song or get my audio uploads reinstated that would be awesome! Thank you. I’ll make sure to take these guidelines much more seriously in the future. My apologies.

Yo I uploaded one of my songs a while ago, but its also on spotify under the same name, which triggered the infringement check. I want to upload the rest of my stuff from spotify onto here but I don't want it to be an infringement every time I do it -- here's the link to the appeal -> https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/78873

Is there some way to get 'verified' or otherwise cleared for posting stuff linked to my spotify?
