We'll have to keep an eye on them.
Thanks for the report. Removed that one as well.

Yep. It's nice when they make it so easy to spot.
Just curious how people approach this one:
It's fairly common to find stolen submissions on newer accounts (give or take a few that slip through the cracks and keep going over long periods of time).
Some recent accounts/submissions have raised my spidey sense, but don't have enough for me to say 100% that the content is stolen. The username matches, websites are credited, all that jazz. But some of it still feels off, as the submission is an older project (6+ months) and seems a bit late to the NG party.
On that, does anyone try reaching out to the originator on Twitter/etc to see if they were the ones who submitted? I generally like knowing for sure before hitting the flag, to not make more legwork for the mods.

Great find, and the other one. I tried doing a search on nicovideo but got no results (I assume because not logged in).

Sweet, thanks.
Suicides often temping y'know? I fantasize about different ways to end it all. I've been traumatized by events no human but i could think of, So when i say i wanna die, i say it happily, plus its not like i make money from this hellhole, and i'd never want to, I Used to like this place y'know? Used to not have people stealing my work before i make another profile to post it on cause of the newgrounds bots cant tell who the fuck made it first. The reason im being banned is cause theres no first profile to go back to because those where termed unfaily, Never Expect Me To Come Back

I know writing credit to the author (in this case by citing the song and author) is not great of a legal defence, but the Undertale music falls under fair use (as per the Undertale blog). Undertale's creator (Toby Fox) detailed out a pretty generous use policy for all his IP, the summary of which is "as long as it doesn't impede on the Undertale brand or finances, sure why not".
As for the 3 seconds of Queen's "We are the Champions"...I guess? The "X second copyright rule" is not a real thing.
The lesson learned by the submitter was that they used NG Audio Portal music, credited, on the second submission.

"The List" sounds ominous. Is there one specifically you mean?

I've worked with companies that make / use / sell music, and they had to make sure that any copyrighted work they used that was more than 15 seconds had to (a) be identified as such and (b) pay royalties to the owner, producers, etc. However, under that time, it was considered a "demo"; and sound bites 5 seconds or less were samples that could be used freely for sound effects on a presentation or website - as long as it wasn't be sold for any profit.
For the few seconds of Queen in this submission, as long as somewhere in the credits the proper recognition is given (such as: Fair use sampling from Queen/We Are The Champions) you're okay from the MPAA. As long as it's not massed produced or sold or part of any other album, no rules are violated.
Just wanted to let you know.
Of course, one should vote fairly on the entire submission - as long as nothing else rule breaking is found.

Fair enough. I'd done some reading and all the sources I found were in reference to YouTube DMCA stuff.

Both songs used were properly sourced, I didn't see issue with it.

Have not been around in proper form the past couple weeks with all the birthday festivities, college stuff, and court prep, but did we seriously just have a random guy pop in and threaten suicide over a stolen submission that was removed? Speaking as someone formerly on the suicidal spectrum, that sounds oddly trivial.

That was a surreal little moment and I'd opted to just not acknowledge it, but here we are. Though imo the guy describing the suicide w/ a boner pic was worse still, not the kinda post I expect to get a pass in the barracks even if it's not a member.

Yep. Kinda like a unicorn, in this business. Speaking of, darn, I fed the troll. And it came back.
guessing the suicide bit is bogus since ^
I'm sure @Exedor or @NekoMika will take care of things if they get out of hand.
