Posted by maxxpump - May 13th, 2017


Hello all,

I just found out after a few people alerted me that my music which I've been putting up onto Newgrounds has been used on a 3rd party YouTube, Facebook and Bandcamp accounts. I have contacted the organizations, which YouTube has taken action, but facebook and bandcamp have told me they had full permission which apparently I sent via the Newgrounds mail system to them, which I didn't. I've had many requests for single tracks which could be used for commercial projects which I've agreed, but I have had messages along the lines of "can we use your music, for our project", I've asked them what track and they have said "any track", which I've promptly refused, as its a massive breach on my part to allow this kind of thing. So from here on im reluctantly having to remove the Download feature, as well as give more stronger warnings on my tracks, as this can not continue. I apologize in advance, but I'm not giving the rip off merchants a chance to using my music else were when this is blatantly against Newgrounds rules as well as mine! If you want to have a track for a project please contact me. 

P.S: I know this is coming from Newgrounds as I haven't posted to Youtube in months and all videos embed has been switched off so can't be ripped from the YT to MP3 websites!

Did you show Facebook and Bandcamp the transcripts of your messages, and your explicit refusal? That should help take it down.

Also, good to see someone having sense over where their music goes. I really, really wish you were there for when the geodashtards started asking Newgrounds to die just because people actually successfully DMCA'ed Geometry Dash from Steam.
