Sorry space marine, but you can't be using copyrighted music.

Music issues can be flagged. It's isn't urgent, so doesn't need to be listed here.

---------
How are we supposed to handle this?
So we have a PP spinning 3D "animation"
It's by the same person: ThrowM3Away
One is low quality:

We put on our big boy pants and vote 0, like we do on all crappy submissions, peen or no peen. It's a blammable submission. It happens. No need to report it. Just vote 0, never vote 1. BTW, these blammed, so anyone who voted 0 got 2 blam points. Woot! :3

---------
At what point do we consider something to be fetish art?

This is not fetish art. A big belly does not indicate fetish art. There's nothing remotely sexual-themed about it.

Art is not to be listed here. Art can be flagged as normal. It's dealt with regularly.

There are so many good animations that feature music inside of them, but the music is copyrighted.

What if the music is in the description, as an embedded video?

And then the audience clicks the movie, and then they click the embedded music video.

@fe3l1ngsk1lledd Please, I must have miscommunicated.


It's an idea. What if we have the movie? And in the description, there's an embedded YouTube video; with the desired music that would be played during the movie.


That way it wouldn't infringe upon copyright.

Is to have it as an embedded YouTube video so the audience can play the movie and they can play the embedded YouTube video, so they can have the experience of having music playing without infringing on any copyright issues.


Sure, that's a good idea actually.

2 because the club basically gives you a way to get better whistles, which is requires a LOT of submissions and a LOT of days to do so, since higher whistle status = the heavy the reports, and if it's heavily, then of course it wouldn't be easy to grab the Deity whistles. Even the site's wiki tells you that if you want to discuss questionable game and movies, you go to here. And while Deity whistles are worth a damn to get, assuming if a 2010 Flash doesn't have outdated information for 2023, it takes 30 hours to 60 hours to do so, assuming you do the 2-hour routine. But I'm pretty sure ways to shorten the grind for those whistles, like using bots to post and upload the same exact content that can be easily flagged, would arguably be dubious and at worst illegal.

1, while still correct, would be arguably pointless because what's the point of sharing entries that you know full well violates that portal's guidelines?

Too much work on the viewer’s end. They’ll just see it has no audio and v0te low.


If they do want to watch the movie with the intended audio, it’s already uploaded on YouTube and they can just link that.

for things like audio infringement, you don't need to post about in the EGB, its a low-level flag item and it gets handled in due time. for things like RL porn, incorrectly rated materials, stolen materials, general questions about movies or games, hate speech... then yeah post it here, when it doubt post about it and higher individuals in the EGB will let you know when to tone it back on certain flag items, (audio copyright being one of them)

we stick to English audio 90% of the time, I'm not going to flag materials that are in Mandarin or Russian, French, Spanish... because I don't speak those languages, yes I can use software to tell me that 2 songs are exactly the same, but I myself don't speak the language. how can I be certain that the song is exactly the same?

that being said, if you venture into the audio portal there are rules in there that are FAR FAR more extreme about content and ownership, the movies and games portal can get away with a lot when it comes to audio, in the audio portal it would be cut down and the user would likely get a permanent ban from being allowed to upload audio...

the movies and games portals are much more relaxed but we still have to enforce the rules sometimes

Yes sir. Thank you, Sup. Commander @tox.


I will write the information down.


EGB. The Elite Guard Barracks.

Is for movies and games only. Do not include art and music.

Do not include Low-level flag items: audio infringement, or still images.


Preferably link music from YouTube and not other sites, if possible.


What will be posted to the EGB are higher-priority flag items:

Scams.

Viruses.

RL porn.

Incorrectly rated materials.

Stolen materials.

Hate speech. (Debatable must be discussed before flagged?)


And or:

General questions about movies or games.

When it doubt post about it and higher individuals in the EGB will let you know when to tone it back on certain flag items.


The movie and games Portal are much more lenient with audio.


The movie gets flagged if it has something like Michael Jackson or Smashing Pumpkins music.


What is the stance on Game music?

To be honest I'll agree here. Despite the fact there's a rule against it, there's this instinct to 0-vote anything that gets posted here that could be rule-breaking but that we aren't sure about.

this may be a dumb question, but if a piece of art looks identical enough to have been ripped straight from elsewhere (like a network cartoon show) with no adulterance to it, i.e it looks like an original production cel, would that make it worthy of a report for stolen content? or should i just 0 it for being traced

Innocent until proven guilty. Provide proper, credible evidence that shows that they stole/traced. Then v0te and flag

Context should be considered. Are we tracing to create a parody, or tracing the episode completely including with its original audio?


the context is that this is a static art piece. thats why i'm asking since i almost never see art pieces in this thread: let's say someone just uploads this

looks completely identical to the original. but there's no way of knowing whether its ripped off or a very painstakingly traced piece. how would you treat a submission like this

there is no need for a new club, if you have questions you could always write me a PM and I can get back to you in a few hours if not almost immediately, OR you can write someone from the mod team like Exedor, Pingu, Orbitz, Big-Boss, Fro and they can get back to you in 1 to several business days


your flags/posts matter a lot in the greater community here, the things that we say echo through a lot of Newgrounds so if there is a question about the content then its usually a smart move to simply not post about it until you are sure. the worst thing that happens is that the material blams out, or it passes and you can continue the flagging process until an answer is obtained. Things don't just drop off the radar because they are more than 2 days old ya know :P
