Disappointed about this one, came about due to a movie review reply I got...

Stolen audio submissions:

From NPCarlsson youtube.

From FluxPavilion - Gold Love feat. Rosie Oddie (Fox Stevenson Remix).

From Approaching Nirvana - Mount Olympus.

From Kevin Dellinger - The Lirch.

From Run Kongregate - Space Theme (but cut down from 8 mins to 5)

The only one I haven't been able to source & flag is below, which is a safe assumption is also stolen:

@LexRodent maybe you'll have luck

Also looking to source if the following is stolen (a leopard can't change its spots):

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

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.

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 lesson learned by the submitter was that they used NG Audio Portal music, credited, on the second submission.

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.

Barracks Roster as of Apri1 1st, 2018:

Well, it looks like I might be retiring in luxury really soon - and you'll never believe what happened! We've all seen those emails from the "prince of Nigeria" claiming that they had access to funds, and had to hide them so they could escape persecution - and if you help, you'd get a piece of the action. Well, a few months ago, I got one of those emails, and I was feeling feisty that day, and decided to answer and play along. I created a dummy email account, and started what I figured would be a process of mutual bullshit.

Funny thing, though - the more we communicated, the more legit it sounded. I told this guy, who call himself Prince Faropolli
Togachi, that I didn't want to give him my personal bank account - he told me how to open up an off-shore one in Bermuda. Took a little doing, but for about $50 or so, opened up an anonymous account with a whopping $10 in it.

I gave him the account info, which I created under my late uncle's name and address. I did out myself as executor of the account, but not the owner. After I sent him everything he asked for, I waited and waited...

And last night, I checked the alternate account email, and there was a message, short and sweet:

"I am now out of danger; your reward awaits". I then used a proxy server (or two) and checked the off-shore account - and nearly fell out of my chair: $5,600,000 US deposited! I called the bank this morning (yes, it was Sunday, but they have customer service 24/7) and confirmed the account. Once I gave them the security password and account codes, the woman told me that $20,000,000 had been deposited, and the $14,400,000 was transferred to a numbered Swiss account. There was also a notation on the account that the remaining balance could only be accessed by the executor!

I'm still numb from all of this. That's a lot of money! Besides retiring, I'm seriously considering making an offer to the Fulps to become their primary investor, and really skyrocket this site to new levels. Maybe even rent a luxury yacht and invite you all for an off-shore meetup, all expenses paid.

How do you think I should spend the money?

As for the roster, it was a good month. A lot of milestones, Guthrie is now a Commander, and we've all been busy as hell . It looks like our newest member, SFC Peregrinus, is giving Guthrie and yours truly a run on BP points. Go get'em, soldier!

This is a music video with no animation at all.

I've seen a few of those, but from what I can tell they aren't against the Portal rules so long as they own the content. I know it's kind of against the grain of what NG is for (because YouTube and Vimeo exist), but that alone I don't think is grounds for a flag.

The "creator" and editor both have established NG accounts, where the creator adds his music to the Audio Portal. Though I'm not a fan of straight up video here, it seems to round out their contributions to NG.

Seeing as it's the 50th anniversary of MLK's assassination, I wouldn't be surprised if this was an authentic source. I searched through the first six pages of youtube's results (less than four minutes long) for 'MLK's Beyond Vietnam' and didn't find a match.
