I won't ever upload something stolen ever again and i will credit every single company/person that made any of the samples i used. I am really sorry for what i did, i did not know what i was doing but i know better now.

Здраствуйте, да, это из описания именно того аудио, из-за которого я получил бан, я хочу сказать что я больше никогда не буду такого делать, я уже посылал несколько своих работ чтоб вы могли из прослушать и увидеть, что я теперь сам делаю музыку, которой я очень бы хотел поделиться с сообществом ньюграундс. Я больше никогда не буду выкладывать ничего украденного и я буду указывать в описании моих треков каждую компанию/человека который сделал любой из моих использованных сэмплов. Я очень сожалею о своём поступке и я не понимал всю суть того, что я делаю, но теперь я лучше понимаю и я больше никогда такого не сделаю.


I can't seem to find the work you mentioned, but I can review those, if you'll send them my way via DM. What will help me most is details of your projects, project images or videos, and details of samples/software used.


Кажется, я так и не могу найти треки, отмеченные Вами, но я могу проверять их через приватные сообщения. Пошлите. Полезно будет включить детали проектов, изображения и видео проектов, и детали семплов/программ.

"Unfortunately, you can't edit this project right now.


This is for the following reason(s):


Sorry, you can't do that at this time - there's a hold on your account due to potential copyright infringement, use of stock loops, or other possible infraction against the Audio Guidelines. Your audio has been matched to "COME UP (feat. 1chi)", by Logan5K, either as a direct copy or by containing similar audio stems. Check your private messages for details of the appeal process."


Like I never even seen that guy that I "copied" and his music isn't even on Newgrounds. I got that beat from frozy808 and this guy also used it but switched it up. You can't copyright me from a guy who used the same free beat I did, I even have proof of the beat frozy808 posted being older than his song. He didn't even post the beat on YouTube. Again, if you didn't read all of that, I got the beat from "frozy808" on YouTube and I only posted it for a Geometry Dash level.

The link to the beat I tried to post, I also forgot to mention that the beat is FREE, IT SAYS IT IN THE TITLE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLCm8ZMnXmA&pp=ygUJI2Zyb3p5ODA4

As I said and will say again, it was a free beat from YouTube and the guy made the loops himself. Maybe actually look through the comment and not post one phrase, mkay? That song is not copyrighted whatsoever and they think I'm copying this black dude that I have never seen in my life.

Again, just because it isn't copyrighted doesn't give you permission to upload it here. Combining the work of other people (beats and loops) is also not acceptable.

Wdym combining work of other people? The entire beat and whatever aspects of that beat was made by a guy on YouTube and said the beat was free to use without copyright. Now, I understand I can't repost songs that are copyright, but I and everyone have the right to repost it and he never took anyone's projects down when using his beats tagged "[FREE]" I just want this beat accepted into Newgrounds because that's the only way I can use this beat for Geometry Dash.

You don't have that right here. What language do you normally speak as maybe this is not being understood for that reason.


taking a guess: Вы можете использовать только созданную вами музыку и имеете на нее полные права.


that's the only way I can use this beat for Geometry Dash.


GD only allows original work onto the whitelist, and you would have to be scouted here first (requiring original work). Taking someone else's work isn't original.

GD allows any work ripped from Newgrounds without confirmation but ok, and in my perspective, I just thought I can upload it not for clout or stealing, but to use the audio code for a GD level. I never thought I'd get copyrighted for in their case, using audio from 3 different songs but I don't know what that's about.

GD allows, but we don't allow. There's a reason people make silent levels and basically hack the steam game for copyrighted or mashup music. Our TOS is why.


As to whether an audio is copyrighted or not, if it's distributed to a music provider like Spotify, YouTube Music, and I think even Snapchat, you WILL get caught for sure in copyright appeals.


See our audio portal rules for the rest of why this stuff isn't allowed.

https://www.newgrounds.com/wiki/help-information/terms-of-use/audio-guidelines


TLDR: We are a community for original content only. No stealing, and no cheating. Uploading someone else's beats does not count as your own work, even if their rights allow that. Mashups are illegal for the same reason.

I know mashups are not allowed, the audio I posted wasn't a mashup, that's why I used one audio from a guy on YouTube that was ok with it. I know I can't post it but the p-bot pointed out 3 songs that actually STOLE his beat and never gave credit, but on the other hand I did credit him in my appeal and never wanted to steal, just saying.

All we're saying is no amount of permission or allowed use matters on Newgrounds. Otherwise 5 people like yourself could just spam the portal with beats they didn't make for high rating and use in GD. People have tried that since 2015 with No Copyright Sounds beats. Never has or will be cool.

Can I get unbanned? I made a new beat now and it was made by myself and now I can't post because of the stupid copyright. I'll delete the project that got copyrighted, but I just want to post my original work but now I can't do that -_-

It's been some time since I've asked a few other questions here, but here are some I would like to clear up:


  • Say, for example, I am making a cover of a vocaloid song, using the same vocaloid, but in a different language. It's originally a song featuring Miku singing Japanese lyrics, but I try to have my own Miku sing that same song with English lyrics. The producer has a MIDI file on a site that's linked in their MV's description, and I import that file into the vocaloid editor, lacking any of the lyrics from the original (all that's sung at first are the many "aaaa" lyrics, and I'm supposed to input each lyric manually). I will credit the original producers and the trans-lyricist who wrote the English lyrics I may use, as well as record an entirely different backing track than the original. Am I allowed to post that cover here?
  • Would spoken dialogue between myself and a vocaloid talking normally ("talkoid") be considered Voice Acting or a misc. song?
  • What's the character length for the title of an audio submission? I almost always try to keep my titles as concise as possible, so I am curious.


I also thought about if there was a "minimum level of tuning proficiency" to reach but then I realized the reviews are what will determine that...

It's me, Mashuu, the clarinetist from another dimension. This place feels familiar, even though I wasn't around here during its heyday.

Next time please don't bullet your lists -- they disappear in quote. Thanks.


Re: you reworking a vocaloid midi to incorporate english lyrics someone else wrote, as long as the track is not copyrighted, the lyrics are not copyrighted, and you made the instrumental from scratch, it's legal. You must attribute sources.


Re: speaking to a vocaloid which you also write, yes, it would count as a voice acting skit. Probably podcast if it's long enough.


Re: Don't know the exact character length, but it's worth keeping it quite short or it will cut off at the top of the screen. I recommend no longer than 20-30 characters.

Hello there. I made my own composition and published it on Newgrounds (approx. 2 weeks ago), and I received a message titled "Audio Copyright Infringement" in my PM's. "ERROR — Sorry, you can't do that at this time - there's a hold on your account due to potential copyright infringement, use of stock loops, or other possible infraction against the Audio Guidelines. Your audio has been matched to (song name), by (artist), either as a direct copy or by containing similar audio stems. Check your private messages for details of the appeal process." I submitted an appeal as soon as I received the PM, and I will provide links if needed (i am only banned from submitting audio). I was also curious if this ban is permanent, or if I could do something about it. Thank you.

Newgrounds forever!

We can, if you can prove you created an original song not violating any of these rules:

Please don't post your proof here though, for privacy reasons. PM a moderator, like myself or @Pingu.
