"Maybe" Copyright problems?? 2009-08-14 06:24:11


This song: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/2 63389

It's a remix of this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eMZ2Pg9XN Ro

but i don't know if the NG author has asked the permission to Fluxland to sample his song.
(in fact the choir has been copy-pasted from the original)

That's actually not true at all. The slightest bit of copyrighted work in a remix means a ban from the Audio Portal here on Newgrounds.

So you are telling me that ripping a bit of a copyrighted song is ok? :/

Lol. It's funny because he never comes here anymore, has been de-modded, and has terrible spelling.

The point is valid, nonetheless.

Unless you have permission to upload a sample that has been used in a copyrighted song, you're act of uploading it in the form of a different song infringes on that contact.

Life's complicated.

No, it is not ok to use copyrighted samples and post it here. You may "cover" the music, but newgrounds would LIKE to focus on original creations. That being said there is this:

You may use clips from other newgrounders material, but you must follow these guidelines:

Attribution: You must give credit to the artist.

Noncommercial: You may not use this work for commercial purposes unless you make specific arrangements with the artist under another license.

Share Alike: If you alter, transform, or build upon this music, you may distribute the resulting creation only under a license identical to this one.

Copyrighted material in your song is a no no. :D

By those rules, if it's a newgrounds song, it's allowed.

Let me give you a little history lesson:

2000 - Daft Punk's One More Time was created recreating a sample from the original song "More Spell On You"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ztzl_VYl X4

It was accepted because besides recreating the sample, they added a lot more elements to the song and made it their own as well as many other tracks they have sampled.

2004 - Scooter's song The Question is what is the question used samples from Jock Jams' I like to Move It still accepted for creating original content.

A more recent example would be Rihanna's Don't Stop The Music:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsRWpK4pf 90 which uses a sample from Michael Jackson's song
Wanna Be Starting Something.

My point here is, you can make a song surrounding a particular theme and still make it yours by adding your own style and original elements to it and still be consider your own song and not a remix.

Now back to the topic, when I was making Victory Dance, I found this vocal sample pack which I legally bought about football anthems, I honestly didn't know it had copyrighted content, but that doesn't really matter now, since Im not using it for commercial purposes, so stop all this whining already and live with it.

Btw back in 2008 when I submitted Victory Dance for the first time I mentioned on the Author Comments that the song contained content not created by me, but legally acquired from the web.

Finally thanks to Giordan010101 for pointing me correctly to the origin of this song: Fluxland created by Ramon Roelofs.

See ya around guys!

Yeah, did you read the whole post? If it's released under a CC license, then yes, you may use it.

When someone says 'copyrighted' they generally mean a commercial or non-cc license.

That sample is copyrighted and you just made something against the rules, don't try to justify your mistake: If you have an authorization from the original author you can even sample John lennon's Image and make an Eurobeat remix. But i think you haven't it.

* sigh... saw this coming when i herd the song, *

I think it was ruk or rig that made a news post about not having even one phentosecond of copy written samples in a song, but in his defense, he did buy the sample, It being sold is basicaly giving permission to use it right?

It looks like this topic got a little off topic for a moment there...

I think the OP has a very valid point. He proved that the song was very much so ripped... It's a little disturbing to think this made best of the week :(

(After they took off the black cock suck voice acting...)

hmm so basically you started a post so you can snitch on somebody and try to get them banned. maybe you should of asked him before calling him out like that.

Go read the review that i left on his song.
I've been really nice (i also gave him a 7)..he said "go to burn in hell"

Claiming (and suggesting) that a piece contains stolen material is against the review guidelines.
