I didn't modify their song it was just the same loop used. The rest of my song is original.

  1. "IF" you were un-banned, how would you conduct yourself and how would you improve yourself and your music
  2. Which rule in the audio guidelines are you close to violating or have already violated with your most recent piece

I haven't exactly been "banned", I just upload songs I make for fun containing mostly loops, I don't really know any other music-making software that's free to use. The rule that contains stock loops says "Simply mixing these loops isn't your own original work; you will need to make more effort to create something unique". The software I use limits my abilities to create a song because most of the stuff in the software is just trials that cost money. I can't really do much about it

I'm not Using Anything That's Copyrighted material. Everything that I Upload to Newgrounds is 100% Original


Are there any stock loops in the song? That could be something that triggers it.

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2023-06-06 01:01:31


I got bonked for a mashup. After further perusing the TOS, I have an additional two covers that I need to remove but am unable to due to the ban. If you could nuke those, too, I'd appreciate it.

No


the person who made the song that I "Copyrighted" also did it with A.I


Irrelevant, they didn't upload it here. The program compared the works and noted similarities enough to pull the song.

I accidentally closed a case to a song that I want to be appealed to.

Find it here.

I did not copy "8bit" by FLAMEE. "8bit" by FLAMEE doesn't exist so I couldn't have infringed on copyright. Please unban me.

I accidentally closed the case on my copyright appeal:

https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/view/61619


My track is seen as potentially infringing "Welcome to Bird World" by Leon. It hasn't gotten a single approval for over a week!

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2023-06-17 09:53:46


I accidentally uploaded the same song twice. So, I got flagged for copying my own music...

Crap. I'm new to NG, alright? I thought I posted it in the wrong forum.

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2023-06-21 14:06:07


Greetings,


My audio from quite a long time ago was copyrighted and caused my account to be on hold.


Context:

I have made a track and was pretty proud of it back then, so i decided to post here since i dont really do it often.

When i first finished editing, I was striked with a copyright infringement and for me it was nothing really.

I did what i wouldve normally done and ive appealed, gave all the info i had to prove it was my original creation.

After a couple days, the audio was approved:


iu_1001216_12020430.png


I went and edited the project so i could make it public and this is what i saw:


iu_1001217_12020430.png


It wasnt really a big deal so i appealed one last time (didnt work) and just forgot about it.


Now its June and im willing to upload more of my original music and maybe get it verified so it could get used in Geometry Dash.

I got the mp3 file ready and exported from my daw (FL Studio 20) and went to publish it and then it said that my account was still on hold for copyright.

I was and still am furious, I have already appealed for an audio, it gotten approved and my account is still dealing with this problem that was clearly supposed to end.


I tried to delete the audio, but i couldnt edit it.

Searched on Youtube for some tutorials, didnt find any.

Did a post on my account, went to the forums and asked for help and someone was nice enough to lead me here.


Im willing to give the most information about the audio, even show pictures of proof that i own it. Just to get it deleted and upload my new track.

Hi, i got banned from uploading audio, i sent a Skrillex MIDI from a converter to MP3 to MIDI (Thinking that it wouldnt have copyright that way) and i got banned, i thought that bad MIDI's were allowed, and now i dont know what to do. i really didn't know that was banned. if the moderators need the audio i Will give it so they can review it. (Btw i am not english so this text probably has a lot of grammar issues)

If the final product was a very mildly altered Skrillex track, meaning you uploaded non original audio, meaning you violated at least 1 of the top 3 rules of newgrounds


Audio must be original, you cannot upload other people's creations or you will be banned.

Different appeals for different tracks. You've had two separate appeals, untitled #4654065 which was approved and then rather than working in the same file you opened a second project for Ghost Town which got flagged again (since the system views tracks separately.


Anyways, sorted. Pick one of those files, to continue with the same audio.

You closed your own appeal.

You were banned by a moderator for two reasons:

1) You may not upload a cover or remix of an unlicensed commercial song; and

2) You may not upload a MIDI-rip or 1:1 recreation with new instruments.


As your ban was levied by a moderator for two separate rule infringements, it will not be appealed. You are presented several times the need to only upload things you have full rights to during the upload process.

It's been a little over 3 days now and it says this, however, that was an old account of mine and the original song and account no longer exist on that account as it is on this new account. This is also a remix of the original audio and should be considered "derivative".

Response to Audio Appeal Thread 2023-07-03 10:12:59


The reason I am here on this audio appeal thread is because there has been a hold on my account due to copyright, and it's also been 8 days. I know this sounds embarrassing, but the way this happened was because I was originally trying to upload my ORIGINAL song, but it didn't work for some reason. And so, I tried uploading another file, but I misclicked and hit the wrong audio file, which was a song I had downloaded that wasn't mine. Before I knew it, it was too late, and it had already been requested for copyright checks, and then I had a hold on my account. I saw a link that told me I was able to appeal until July 2nd, and so I clicked on it and wrote my appeal. However, I think the case got closed on July 1st, saying that I was not the owner of the appeal or that the case was closed. Here is the appeal link (if this even matters): https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/copyright/appeal/edit/63937. Hopefully I will be allowed to make audio again, and if I am allowed to again, I would be willing to remove the audio I accidentally submitted.

Recently I posted a song I made to Newgrounds, and it almost instantly got infringed. I checked to see what the issue was, and it was the intro sample which is a synth. the sample I used for the synth is royalty-free and it was provided by Splice. All samples from Splice.com are free to use and have no royalties over them. I really hope someone can get to this quickly because I can't upload my music because of a copyright issue on a royalty free sample.


Here is a link to the song: https://soundcloud.com/user-179564934/hypnotized-1?si=b562f91e50b54328bbd6dbb7db937cd8&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing


Also here is picture evidence that the sample I used was provided by Splice:

You're upset that one of your songs was flagged by our scanning program, and want to come ask about it. To consolidate all the little threads which float in Where is/How to and Audio forums, we've created a collective spot to dump your grief.

To keep things moving along, make sure you have done the following FIRST:

If you meet the above criteria AND it has been a few days since you filed the appeal (greater than 3), post your case here and we'll look into it.

Keep in mind, we are sorting through all the appeals manually which takes time to do properly for all parties involved. This process can be hampered by not providing supporting material at the outset.

Be polite.
