This thread should be locked and deleted and people should just send their "claims" as PMs to audio moderators, which should be listed in the audio portal guidelines.

I think, as much as users get banned for not reading the AP guidelines, that users should be banned for making false claims on this thread, until it is locked or deleted, because of the public nature of the false accusation.

I've rarely seen false claims. This is so newgrounds doesn't have to deal with big copyright strikes, And make sure things aren't stolen or just put into the wub machine.

Are you even double checking to see if the user is Stefan Carlsson himself? Or are you just assuming because they are uploading for Geometry Dash?

I didn't double check, derp. However, the comment on this video seems to suggest that it isn't actually Stefan Carlsson and is actually a GD player, Fridge:

According to the AP guidelines, even the failure of citing instruments used, virtual or real, could result in a ban, if the mod was so inclined.

Reporting AP guideline abuse should be a PM issue. And the artist should be notified with a reasonable time-frame to respond in questionable cases before a ban. It is obvious that a member that posts "Darude sandstorm" should be banned, but in questionable circumstances, artists should be able to dispute and cite how they created a composition before a ban.

This thread should be ended.

If you would have PMed me politely to dispute your claim, I most likely would have reduced your ban, or even lifted it entirely.

Unfortunately, since you decided to post an angry rant in this thread as well, the answer, unfortunately, is NO. The ban is only temporary after all.

Please do not further de-rail this thread.

I recognized 2 of these songs from different creators; and considering that every uploaded song is credited to an unique author; it's all probably stolen.

Another reason why this thread needs to be deleted. I can't independently criticise the validity of this thread and the failures of it?

I don't have to be polite with you to explain why my ban is complete bullshit.. but I did explain clearly and I was not insulting. Should I have said "pretty please"?

Also, you are the one deriding this thread. I mentioned nothing of an entirely unfair ban in previous posts. I have my motives for criticizing this thread, but you now attributing my ridiculous ban (which I never mentioned) as the sole reason for my posts is wrong. There are many different scenarios where this thread fails the AP.

No, but being rude isn't going to incline people to help you out.

I warned you not to further de-rail this thread. Please take a short break.

What the heck happened?????
WHAT HAVE I DONE T DESERVE THIS????
AND WHO THE HELL DID I SCOUT TO GET THIS????
PLEASE TELL ME!!!!!!

I at least want to know who it was
I am an active musician who will create a song in the next month and my followers expect a download link from Newgrounds. Whatever this is please at least tell me who the hell the retard is that caused this.

Is there a way to unscout people?
Because I am very pissed about this matter and I need to know who the hell caused this to happen to me

I have sent you a PM.

Pease do not further use the Audio Portal Cleanup thread for complaints or ban appeals.

Next time, just send the Audio Moderator who dealt with your case a Private Message.

@Precisiongamer0

Copyright is not the issue here. People can use copyrighted samples when copyright attributes are properly given.

The simple rule here is that people are not allowed to upload something that they did not compose, copyrighted or not.

That's an almost complete remake, it isn't being detected as the original.

Ammendment, removed the songs. Highly doubt that user is Stefan Carllson.

Honestly, I never would've guessed it was a remix of idols if it didn't directly state it... I vote for letting it stay; the uploader clearcly have put effort in it.

It's a mashup of songs, which breaks audio portal rules (because of samples), but I'm down for letting it stay if the moderators are okay with it.

I'm up with Idols V2 being kept in the Audio Portal. It does not even feel like a remix.

Also, some more songs i found:

Samples are allowed. The issue here is whether he completely re-made the song or not (which will determine whether it's technically a mash-up or not). Because I personally can't detect elements of the original song in the track. That's why I'm asking for second opinions if other people think it's re-make.

About Idols V2, it actually sounds nothing like the original. The similarity between the two is that they're a mashup of EDM vocals with original music behind them.
However, it does contain copyrighted vocals, and mashups are not generally allowed.
As @BrokenDeck is the mod here, he should have the final say.

EDIT: I note that the user has disabled download and used the correct license.
However, I wouldn't even consider it too much of a mashup seeing as it only seems to contain vocals from one song.
EDIT 2: Didn't realize that BrokenDeck's post was referring to Staying Alive as the original song (at least, I assume he was), in which case it sounds nothing like the original.

Unsure here. It's a cover... ish. It's just the song with some layered drums.

This track totally doesn't belong to the guy who uploaded it.
