sorohanro brought this up before, but i didn't use it at the time:

myows is a free online proof for copyright, it comes with legal templates for cases aswell. I guess i'll be using this now, and I'd recommend it to anyone else.

So I was wrong, she does have a FB profile, but they JUST joined FB recently, and goes by the name "Laurin Cetacea". A bit lame to have both your 'Real" name and your DJ name as your Profile name on FB.

Tells me nobody knows her. She only has 5 friends added. So I went on to reporting her profile as "Impersonating someone who isn't real". First time I've done that...ever. o_o

Has anyone heard back from soundcloud about having the stolen tracks removed from their website?

I've reported almost all of her songs. Still nothing back.

I have spammed every submittion of her and replied to a lot of Soundcloud-users that she didn't make it.

Do they have a mailing address? If so, the artists may want to try sending letters to them with signature confirmation that they received them. I wonder if there are any NG fans that are lawyers that would be willing to represent you guys for free and send in a cease and desist letter.

I find it really funny how different "her" music is from track to track in terms of mixing.

Response to NG Music being stolen 2011-03-06 11:29:00


Damn it, I forgot to look at the rest of the images first. One was big enough to read easily, lol. It had a www. at the beginning.

freezingvenom@hotmail.com

Something is very fishy about that email though, like how it doesn't come up with anything helpful on Google.

That's what I said! She mainly has a lot of xKore stuff, so I think he should be looking forward to some record labels knocking on his door after this fiasco, seeing as she got on one for his work.

*sign* if only the resolve to this issue was *this* easy...or is it???

But for now it looks like this is the reality.

But Matt, what if she just goes to a Record Company with YOUR tracks?!
How would we solve that problem?

Just wish she had stolen more of my tracks and less of xkores tracks.

That makes me feel like xkore is better than me

He isn't, you're both great artists ;]

Response to NG Music being stolen 2011-03-06 12:55:30


The audio portal is the main thing I use these days, I don't watch much flash anymore, and to see some asshole grub off of your guys's hard work pisses me off to no end. Especially once I visited cymbal in nyc and he introduced me to alot of xkore's a qarl's music. Sweet justice for you guys. Brewskis on me for coming together and working as a team.

Yeah you guys are the sexiest audiogrounders (musically speaking)

Of course

I'm pretty sure she isn't the only one who steals music.. There are MANY theifs on the internet, who just want fame, so they go around stealing other people's stuff.

If that was the case the only appropriate course of action would be to consult a lawyer and figure out a way of suing her. But as far as I can see, thankfully, that's not quite the case here, yet.

Just posting to say I've done some reporting on various sites she's part of, no emails sent though (from me).

She's an idiot. She have stolen another song by you, Matt.
"Her" song "Dreaming" is "xKore - Syntax". I've found this info while taking a look in her
profile...
I'll make an animation about it (I will try) and a site to report her.


I'm offline now. Chat with others that hate Cetacea Here! Leave me a comment in my profile if you want to chat with me!

Posting this again so people can see it and act upon it as necessary, if not done so already.
Hopefully GruntWorthy label will post here again with updates on Cetacea being sacked.

First off let say NO TRACKS WILL BE RELEASED FROM CETACEA UNTILL THIS MATTER HAS BEEN FULLY RESOLVED!

GRUNTWORTHY DOES NOT SUPPORT ARTISTS WHO STEAL WORKS FROM OTHER ARTISTS!

At this point, what we need from the NewGrounds members that feel their works have stolen, is to send us a list of the tracks you believe are stolen. Please include details of when the tracks were created, legal names of the producer(s) who created them, the methods used to make the tracks (ablton, logic, korg electribe, etc) and if possible screenshot of the project.

Please include your contact information (email, phone number etc).

Send the completed lists to label (at) GruntWorthy (dot) com

WE ARE TAKING THIS VERY SERIOUSLY!!
We would also ask you not post about this on any public GruntWorthy profiles as we are investigating ALL of these claims.
Thank you,
GruntWorthy

Read through the entire thread before posting.

One of the most basic rules on every forum.

And FYI, Gruntworthy is the label that signed Cetacea.
