I understand that very little time has passed since the appeal was filed, but I think if I explain what the problem is, you will understand me. the fact is that earlier I had an account on this site and because of the war in Ukraine I deleted it. enough time has passed since then and I have the opportunity to write music. I uploaded old songs to major platforms earlier and decided to recreate the newgrounds account. I want all my songs that are already on other platforms to be here as well. the bot took this song for copyright infringement but the song itself is mine, but uploaded to that platform earlier. a little more information in my appeal https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/27835

Hello!

I recently got a false copyright strike for my song "highly repetitive song" for a song called "Ma place" by 100 Blaze. Please check it out, I have a song that I really want to upload now.

Hello!

I was banned for using loop app, but i am now making music by FL Studio and will upload audio what is maded only by FL Studio.

How many time i still will be in ban?

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-08 08:48:19


Hi there and greetings. How are you all?


As of recently, I got a copyright strike for my songs called 'long way home'.


The main problem is that the AI thinks I sampled a song called 'Shop Song' by Satisfact, but I didn't sample it... It's all original composition made using FL Studio.

Hi. I got striked and banned by my own song, I've appealed and posted proof that I am the owner of the song, and nothing has happened, did I do something incorrectly?

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-11 17:29:21


Hi again. I am back with a complaint for one of my songs...


Recently it was flagged as copyrighted for samples (Idk what part of the song it is)...

The main issue is that the song was made using 'BeepBox' (what I use for most of my modern songs) and didn't sample anything (its not possible to sample songs on BeepBox).

So back in March, I was banned from posting audio because of a track I attempted to publish. P-Bot detected that the track sounded like "Flutch" by this artist named ChaiN. This song sounds nothing like the track I wanted to publish. To top it all off, I didn't even publish the track before P-Bot detected that it was "infringing" on copyright guidelines. So if you're able to, can you please lift my audio ban?

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-13 21:20:01


Got banned from audio for posting a random song i made. no loops were used. it was copyright for some reason, by a person named "Kabo Sasamoto?" idk who that is LMAO

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-13 22:14:44


So, my account was flagged for "copyright" and now I cannot upload audio anymore. The audio I posted was flagged by someone named "Kabo Sasamoto," who's song is "Jupiter 9:55." First of all, I do not even know who this person is or what this song sounds like. Second of all, my song was totally original! If you could unban me from uploading audio, it would be great help as my account was made for this purpose.


Thank you.

Hey i got a possible infringement on my song a few days ago, tried to appeal it but since not hearing anything after that i just decided this could be a better place to try, the song is called "Driftin", it's not yet released anywhere else than soundcloud. Here is the link to the appeal; https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/29065


There is a lot more info on that page. Would like to upload more stuff, but since i'm on a ban currently can't really do that. :p

Anyways waiting for help, feel free to ask me anything related to the song or appeal.

So yesterday I finished my song Casino. It took me around 12 hours to complete on FL Studio. When I went to post it though I was met with a message saying that I may have infringed upon a song by the name of “Rain (Soul Tan Remix)” By Astrid.

I think I might’ve been a little general in my appeal lol. This is my first time appealing so I closed it not knowing I couldn’t reopen it lmao. When I listened to these two songs I couldn’t pinpoint many sounds that are alike. I was hoping I could maybe get this looked into a bit further, no biggie.


Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-17 23:47:57 (edited 2022-07-17 23:49:16)


Hello! I'm new to posting to Newgrounds so there's a pretty fair chance that I did something wrong on my end or am simply missing something, but I thought I'd ask anyway.


I made a remix of Expurgation from the Tricky mod for Friday Night Funkin', something there are several of on the site. The song got claimed by P-Bot as a reupload of Saster's remix of the same song, which it isn't. I submitted my appeal, and upon checking on the appeal two days later, it had been closed and I am still banned from uploading audio.


It's been about four or five days since the claim, and I've been doing some of my own research as to what this all means, but not to any avail. So, my last resort is to post here!


Thank you for your time!

To clarify, I got copyright struck and banned for my own song, since i already released it to stores before i started trying to use Newgrounds.

Yes, it was a song not made by me. I had remixed it and created a new version. I do hope that it wasn't the remixed version, and that I actually uploaded the original lol.

Will I my account ever get functional again!

I’m trying to upload my album The OG Collection, but it flagged the first song because the system didn’t know I’m the composer. I filed an appeal but closed the case (I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to, I’m new to the grounds). I want to make sure it won’t flag the other 8 songs but I don’t know how. Please help.


Note: I made the music using LMMS starting February and finishing in late March. I distributed the album to streaming services last month under the name BLOCKY Bearclaw.

Hey, back here asking for help since i got flagged a couple of days ago for my another beat called "Silent" -- appeal here. Added a question to the appeal also, if i could get an answer to that trough email or smthing it would probably be helpful.


Anyways, waiting once again on replys, and hope that i wont get flagged on my own beats again after this. :p

I have a few other beats i'd like to upload here also, but it's a hassle to get temp ban from my own beats..

Welp, thanks for help already. Don't really have anything else to add.

Hello, I am a composer and on 02/10/2021 I was banned (on your site) for Music Copyright. For fairness I went to listen to the songs that I would have "violated" and the songs do not match each other, this is because the melodies of my songs and those protected by copyright have almost totally different musical notes. In addition, the songs from the beginning to the end, if they are listened to, the total non-similarity is noted.

My nickname is Dj-FranKarol and today I'm here for a Sban request in the music upload section on your site, thank you and have a nice day.

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2022-07-28 18:28:44


So last year, I got banned from uploading music because a moderator discovered that one of the songs I wanted to upload contained possible infringement to an existing song, which is "Mirror Mirror (Remix)" by DJ Randy. I used GarageBand to compose my song, but I had no idea it bore any similarities to "Mirror Mirror" until I looked it up. I listened to the instrumental version of the song, and I think I know why my song was flagged. It's probably because both my song and "Mirror Mirror" used the same looping guitar track. However, I really don't think I plagiarized Mirror Mirror, though. It's more like a coincidence, if you ask me. I did not sample DJ Randy's track, as I made the song completely on my own in GarageBand. Just because the song has the same looping guitar track doesn't mean I copied DJ Randy's song.


Anyway, I had until a few days to appeal against my so-called "infringement". I filled out the ownership details, but I didn't know what to do next. I just couldn't wait for a few days to pass, so I closed the case and hoped they would respond. But they haven't unbanned me in months. I tried to contact Tom Fulp about it through email, but I guess he's extremely busy, because he didn't respond to my request to be unbanned even once.


Do you think you can look into my account and see if you can get me unbanned? I would be glad if you did. Thanks.

Closing the case means accepting the outcome, like a cop slamming the file shut and saying "case closed". Its been sorted.

My song Chase The Sunset was flagged by a song called "For Janice" by Fever when I clicked on the link for the song that it gave me (Here is the URL) it seemed vague at best. I tried to search the song elsewhere and found out this on Spotify. While for some reason can't listen to the song, I see it was made (or uploaded) in 2020, and my song was created in 2016. I wish I could view the track in question so I can see some concrete evidence that I have plagiarized this song. But with the weird link and the fact that my song was possibly made 4 years before, I think the possible infringement does not hold water.
