Thank you


If your track is entirely made up of stock loops that would explain why your work got blocked. If you mean an original tune you wrote and used stock instruments and samples, that can probably be republished.

Uploading content that isn't your own composition is considered stealing. When you submit to Newgrounds you are legally certifying that the content is your own work. In the case of NCS music, that's someone else's work.


You can use the NCS music in your own games and movies, sure, but if you want it in Geometry Dash, the creator themselves has to submit it on their own account and also go through the same appeal process until their identity is approved, since these tracks are commonly stolen in the way you just described.

You uploaded something which didn't belong to you, and then closed your own appeal. It isn't on hold, you just have consequences for theft.

If the song itself is licensed royalty free, meaning you have the right to use it for commercial use, you can upload yourself rapping on it, provided you don't break any other portal rules. It's very possible the artist has distributed this beat to digital streaming services. which will cause the copyright checker to snag on it. All you need to do in a case like that is show the artist's free-for-use license in your appeal.

I re-opened, examined, and approved the case based on the licensing of the producer (only requesting credit or royalty in the case of a song going viral). It's a good thing you posted here, or no one may have seen your case.


If you have questions about music production, best practices on NG, or are looking for instruments, samples, and other tips, feel free to hit up my userpage and I'll be happy to point you toward good resources.

I see that you are using Music Maker Jam. I REALLY don't recommend this program for the fact it allows you to buy sounds which by their very nature you cannot share outside of the MMJ community according to licensing.


If your music is not entirely made up of loops and is in fact your own writing, you can upload it here (the MMJ licensing terms provide for commercial use up to 5,000 dollars). Otherwise, if it is in fact only loops from the MMJ library, or all loops in general, it violates our terms of service.

Hello


One of the music I released at the time led to my account being flagged for copyright, there was an appeal forum and from there I learned I wasn't supposed to be using samples when I'm uploading here and still to this day I am unable to post any music and I'm assuming its because I closed the forum by mistake, is there any way I can get access to uploading music again?

THE NEGOTIATIONS WERE SHORT

Don't upload songs you didn't make yourself, for one! If you write your own songs and follow the rest of the audio portal rules, you can come back and get unbanned.

Mashing up two songs which don't belong to you does not allow you to upload it here

I made music, and published it here, I was blamed by the bot for copyright but I had made it. I had made a couple songs before the one that caused this, and it has been about 6 months by estimation since I messaged my private feed. When click on the option to upload audio, one of the things it says is this: "Your audio has been matched to 'Fork Three: Stage Four', by Ben Chase."

This can happen if you select to close your case by accident. Maybe we need to clarify better what these buttons mean. Anyway, I've reviewed your case and approved your appeals.

I guess I'll just leave this here to help out my pal. He stated that the ban imposed on him is unfair, mentioning that his uploads were neither spam nor harmful. He has provided explanations for the specific types of songs he uploaded to the audio portal.

I was being negligent, I am sorry for that. But the song isnt copyrighted and is made by an underground artist. Can I atleast have a change in my audio ban status?
