Hello I was banned from posting audio due to a misclick in files and posting a sound clip that was not mine I will take full responsibility for taking that sound clip without permission from RWS but I would like to be unbanned for posting audio that is copyrighted by cry of fear
You've submitted rule breaking content across several Portals, and most of your reviews are low effort and make it appear as tho you'd like a ban there too. Maybe those were mis-clicks too. You show no sign that you want to have fun, enjoy Newgrounds, and be a productive member of the community. You're on a reduced audio ban. Your request is declined.

Do better in the future, and maybe you won't be banned here, and on Steam.


Well peace out random internet dude I'm going to go say my goodbyes and pack up shop

Hello! Recently I tried to post a song that uses a couple samples. When it was put on hold I was told that it sounded like a song by Talha Çelik called "Tiktok Monday". I don't even know if I can access the song because every site I try to use either doesn't have it or says I can't listen to it because I am outside of their country or territory. My main concern here is I may have goofed and closed the appeal on my end accidentally. What should I do?

I've been unable to find the AI tagged song despite searching. I've reopened your appeal. What you can do now is thoroughly lay out where your samples came from, if they are royalty free, and approximately how much of the song is your own work, versus how much of it is loops and samples. Be specific about which elements you composed yourself or wrote. We have a semi-strict rule that 50% of your submission should be your own production, composition, and arrangement.

So I re-uploaded a song that was on my old and deleted account and it got flagged by the system. Both this account and the old account have the same email and password, so that’s proof the song is mine. “Edgeration” I called the song. The old account was called “CarlzKey” if you need to know more information.

I misclicked and uploaded a copywrited song to projects. How do I delete, it was a mistake and I never made it public.

Hey, I made a song a while back in 2013 that used a drum, base and synth sample. I neglected to read the audio guidelines and the forth scenario happened to me when I filmed my appeal. I didn’t realize it was meant to be open and I thought that closing the case would file the appeal only to find out it meant something else after the fact. If there’s any way you guys coul help me delete the song or get my audio uploads reinstated that would be awesome! Thank you. I’ll make sure to take these guidelines much more seriously in the future. My apologies.

Yo I uploaded one of my songs a while ago, but its also on spotify under the same name, which triggered the infringement check. I want to upload the rest of my stuff from spotify onto here but I don't want it to be an infringement every time I do it -- here's the link to the appeal -> https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/78873


Is there some way to get 'verified' or otherwise cleared for posting stuff linked to my spotify?

Hello there, I got a hold on my account after a track I made that got flagged for sounding like "Spooky Season - Boo-nus Track". I posted an appeal since this was based on stock audio and I don't know what to do now. I hope this will be resolved soon


Thank you

If your track is entirely made up of stock loops that would explain why your work got blocked. If you mean an original tune you wrote and used stock instruments and samples, that can probably be republished.

Uploading content that isn't your own composition is considered stealing. When you submit to Newgrounds you are legally certifying that the content is your own work. In the case of NCS music, that's someone else's work.


You can use the NCS music in your own games and movies, sure, but if you want it in Geometry Dash, the creator themselves has to submit it on their own account and also go through the same appeal process until their identity is approved, since these tracks are commonly stolen in the way you just described.

You uploaded something which didn't belong to you, and then closed your own appeal. It isn't on hold, you just have consequences for theft.


Flag stolen content, don't be a dingus.

So I uploaded a song today and apparently you're not allowed too use those copyright free audios from YouTube, So I messed up there. But I didn't know that was a problem with NG here's the beat I'm speaking of https://youtu.be/TkNYeqF1xMk?si=qFmWDHokSEMTMDuK


My account is now on hold for uploading audio that I did not know would violate TOS, I just wanted to complete this collection of garbage album and there is this rap song I made on soundcloud that is the one I was going to put on here but now. I can't share my trashy music to Newgrounds. T_T and I accidently closed my appeal if you guys could get the hold off my account It would be a very good birthday gift.

Since today is my birthday.

I'm very sorry, I thought that since i was freestyling over the song about giving florida men crushed up smarties and them thinking it was meth and then they ran after me with a plastic spoon it would not violate NG TOS

I was also very pissed and said something along the lines in my appeal and this all I said What the hell did I do I didn't even upload the damn song. My brain didn't think to be professional in that moment, I'm very sorry about that

In the meantime I'll be putting my trashy 8 bit songs on soundcloud!

If the song itself is licensed royalty free, meaning you have the right to use it for commercial use, you can upload yourself rapping on it, provided you don't break any other portal rules. It's very possible the artist has distributed this beat to digital streaming services. which will cause the copyright checker to snag on it. All you need to do in a case like that is show the artist's free-for-use license in your appeal.

I re-opened, examined, and approved the case based on the licensing of the producer (only requesting credit or royalty in the case of a song going viral). It's a good thing you posted here, or no one may have seen your case.

I see that you are using Music Maker Jam. I REALLY don't recommend this program for the fact it allows you to buy sounds which by their very nature you cannot share outside of the MMJ community according to licensing.


If your music is not entirely made up of loops and is in fact your own writing, you can upload it here (the MMJ licensing terms provide for commercial use up to 5,000 dollars). Otherwise, if it is in fact only loops from the MMJ library, or all loops in general, it violates our terms of service.

Hello


One of the music I released at the time led to my account being flagged for copyright, there was an appeal forum and from there I learned I wasn't supposed to be using samples when I'm uploading here and still to this day I am unable to post any music and I'm assuming its because I closed the forum by mistake, is there any way I can get access to uploading music again?

Don't upload songs you didn't make yourself, for one! If you write your own songs and follow the rest of the audio portal rules, you can come back and get unbanned.
