W...T...F. Alright, guys, randomly came upon another big one. I'm pretty positive very little on this page is his, and there are 73 tracks there. I found some of my stuff, what I thought was some of zircon's stuff, and a bunch of videogame remixes that may be OCR.

For a specific example, he ripped off my Star Wars Magnus Vir Remix: "This took me over 20 hours to complete and master O_O haha! It deff paid off! Hope you all enjoy! Please Review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Remember Bluebomber the Lucario? Here's a short discussion about how OCREMIX STOLE FROM HIM. That was quite a while ago, so no point in flaming him for it, but it's pretty funny how he tried to protect "his" works.

The guy stealing from Audix tho... I don't have a newgrounds account and am not really interested in getting one, but... GET HIM!

Seems that they're having trouble believing that it's my track as opposed to his. I could use some help finding other tracks he's ripped off:

Maybe one of these?

ask him to post a screenshot or video of his project file then.

or perhaps make a quick video of yours.

*edit*

PM'd Wade on the matter.

Hi Wade,

I'm a staff member at OC ReMix. One of our remixers contacted me last night and informed me that one of his songs has been posted here by someone else claiming it as his own. As I know you're aware of from past experiences, we take this very seriously, as it is harmful to the original composer and reversing the process to restore credit to the rightful owner can in some cases become quite a headache as he has already been credited on Facebook and Youtube as the author. The music in question has been posted by user "KujoGodOfWar" - http://kujogodofwar.newgrounds.com/

The music in question is the Star Wars Remix, originally composed by Greg Michalec (www.audixmusic.com) - http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/151696

Though the track is not actually posted on OCR, it's still a serious matter. Looking at Kujo's posted track list, I'd wager that he's probably stolen other songs as well, possibly from OCR, but I haven't taken the time to listen to them all and see. Generally, people who still one person's music are likely to steal others. I'm not sure what your policy is when dealing with these individuals, but at the very least for now, please have him take down any the work he is receiving false credit for.

Please email me if you have any questions.

If he's not recieving monetary compensation for stolen music, we can't do anything legal to him worth doing. Instead, there are other ways to help rectify the problem. Little things, like a corrupted operating system or a recently cleaned hard drive. Sure, they can be fixed, if you know what you're doing or know someone that can help you, but it's a nice message.

Or, there's always strippers with penises. Whatever works out easiest.

Didn't we go over that idea already in this thread? I remember DS getting made or something...

That there be the reference. Still a fun idea.

Also, a knowing adult (21 is legal for everything except running for president of the USA, as far as I know) is fully deserving of whatever's done, especially since it seems to be used with the intent of promoting his own work, and therefore potentially increasing his own revenue.

Firstly, thank you SnappleMan for subscribing me to this thread. I should introduce (maybe reintroduce myself to some) myself. Hi, i'm an audio moderator over at Newgrounds, and i'll be the first to admit a lot of douches come take the hard work of artists here and splat it up for their own miserable joy.

It becomes increasingly difficult to seperate who's the real artists with the fakes as on some occasions the thiefs also take the artist's name.

Though it's a hassle I would like to ask as many OC'ers to just jump on down to Newgrounds, and make an account with with their user name. It really helps us if the thief cannot use your user name.

For example, if your name here is Leggo (so original I know), if we find a Leggo1 we immediately set up flags and start investigating. But we all know these guys are pretty damn convincing sometimes.

Also I didn't get a chance to read through this entire thread, I did take down names (thank god KujoGodofWar disappeared eh?), PLEASE if you know of an artist whose account is still up on Newgrounds and he stole work send me a pm or an email at selcukbor@gmail.com, or list them in this thread, and I will do my best to ensure swift and brutal eradication. The Audio Mods are getting new tools to remove users and songs by themselves sometime in the future. Right now we still refer to the higher ups to get things smitten, so this would be the reason why it takes a while sometimes to get things off the site.

Once again, thank you Snapple for pointing me here!
