There are no lawyers. It's one or two guys trying to get some stupid music site started without paying any money out of their own pocket. You see this pile of crap all the time. Enough said.

Ladies and Gentlemen we have a King; thank you sir, I hope you continue to serve us as a whole.

You da best.

It was pretty obvious that there were no lawyers, let alone not the best... None of them would make such a stupid mistake in their T&Cs that we can't point them out. And besides, at least over here, if the terms of the contract are difficult to understand, they'll be interpreted against the party relying on them. In this case, the music site.

Guess it helps that musicians have to be lawyers and accountants all at once.

The site didn't interest me much, I didn't even click the link to the site.

I have enough places to upload my music, and am pretty content with NG's creative commons thing it has going for other people to spread my music.

The jerk just sent me a PM, he's in my blocklist until hell freezes.

Thanks for making this known man. I received the same message, and I was displeased. This user Just joined a few days ago, most likely just to get people to go to his site to win money? ( sounds like a scam ). Very Shady indeed. He has no respect nor intention to be a participant of the newgrounds community. Also, I would only be partners with people that can spell "receive" (he spelled it as "recieve") and at least puts spaces between his punctuations.

I got it right after uploading my most terrible song yet, so I was wondering what was up with that.

Do they just not have quality control or something?

just got it today lol

I just got one also.

I read this thread before I received it, so thanks for the heads up :).

I'm surprised with the negative attention he's gotten recently, and the attention of mods, that he's still sending them to ppl.

most likely created an account on here just to get people over to the site he mentioned, thus never looking at the forums, content, etc..

The amount of people that get the PM might could be less than the amount that read this topic. That's probably why PMs from him are still being sent out.
(At least, given enough time that could become true.) :U

It certainly can't hurt him, at least.

I wonder if someone already falls for his scam.

Yep I just got the same message from the same guy. Now the poor part of me said, "maybe I should" While the logical smacked him in the face and said, "You idiot! What about your ownership rights and credit?" So yeah WAY to shady for me to even consider. If it's too good to be true, then it probably is.

I wonder if he has a pattern for selecting musicians?

He's targeted a lot of the regulars on the AP save for one or two (strangely enough, those few people he missed were moderators, Midimachine included). I cannot say if he finds them from the Audio Forums, or from the top of each audio category for the month/year/all-time.

I certainly hope he didn't go blindly for all of them though, because it'd be a slap in his face if he finds that there are professional audio users who are already making some earnings from the work they do.

Why don't the admins just IP ban him so little asshat can't put another mask on and continue with his scam show?

So within all of that technical jargon, if someone can actally decipher something that this guy can be nailed on, let us know.

x-x. Any law students out there? lol

I am, if you consider UK intellectual property and cyber laws anything to go by.
