Hello newgrounds,

I have recently been informed of your site to find something rather disturbing. It seems your user "MaestroRage" has been feeding you lies. The music he has submitted over the past three years has been nothing but stolen melodies and direct MP3 uploads of my music. It is appalling to know that such a person would take credit for the hard work I and others have put into music. While I'm not sure if all of his songs have been stolen I am sure of the ones he has taken from me. I am also aware that "MaestroRage" was awarded with the title "Musician of the Year" by the Moderators of this site. To think that such a person was rewarded a trophy for his dishonest deeds and STILL nobody caught on is even more appalling.

The ignorance this site has taken to such problems should not be ignored any longer. If the user "MaestroRage" is not taken care of I will be obligated to take legal action against him and or this site.

This is a failed thread..

You can't just come accuse someone with no evidence whatsoever.

Truth. I kinda doubt that Senor Rage would do something like that.

Where's your proof?

Incidentally... Metallica stole all their songs from me, what is called by some "The greatest metal band of all time" is nothing but a bunch of thieves.

I demand the fame that is rightfully mine!

I have no obligation to prove anything to you, steps will be taken to remove those tracks.

"These tracks are mine, but I will offer up no proof of such!"

Good luck with that.

And I'm really Elvis Presley, but I have no obligation to prove it to YOU

Uhh... pump the breaks guys...

I was just talking to Maestro during the Bombcast and saw this thread.. so I figured I'd ask him about it.. and he just stopped responding.

Completely.

Soo.. umm.. yeah. Maybe something is actually going on here. I guess he'll explain later.

Its funny you come here and start throwing slander at one of the most respected audio artists? Man, what is it? Did you not GET attention as a child? Are you still a child? There has to be a reason that your acting this way. Anyway, you feel this is the truth. prove it. other then that this thread will most likely be locked and you will be forgotten.

And ParagonX9 is a guy right? You sure got me.

I see no proof.

I doubt it. Half the time when people message me, I just don't respond because:

A. I don't like them.
B. I'm going to sleep.
C. I'm already asleep.

In your case, I'm guessing choice A.

lolololololololmaestrohatesyou

Move along guys

I'm sure by now he realizes the severity of his actions.

For John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth (1751-1834), see John Shore, 1st Baron Teignmouth.
John Shore (c. 1662 - 1752) was an English trumpeter, and the inventor of the tuning fork, which he invented in 1711.

If this is not a joke, then this is bad.

I believe Maestro til the opposite is proven.

I'm not sure what to say, this is coming as quite a surprise, to be honest. I would have expected this from zellers and DJ Immune - they weren't really "model" figures to the audio forum community. But accusing MaestroRage?

I think we need to see what Maestro has to say on this, i'm sure there's a perfectly good explanation.

You're entire statement is bullshit.
You accuse one of the biggest audio people of stealing YOUR music, and provide absolutely NO proof whatsoever?
Your argument is invalid until you provide some solid proof.
And don't go bullshitting everyone saying you'll take legal action, because no. Just no, I want your proof.
I WANT YOUR FUCKING PROOF!

Yeah, I'm testy, a whole day of chinese NG shit.
