Entry #1
Hello, I am an electronic artist who releases all my original music and remixes under the name of Audix. Recently, I discovered that the newgrounds artist KujoGodOfWar (http://kujogodofwar.newgrounds.com/) stole my Star Wars remix four months ago and claimed credit for it, acquiring 20,000 plays and nearly 5,500 downloads under his name:
http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen /151696 (Will hopefully be deleted soon.)
I'm writing this note to ask everyone who downloaded the track to edit the artist name in the mp3 file accordingly. Unfortunately, this song plagiarism has spread to last.fm, I-meem, I-Like, youtube, and several free mp3 sharing sites. We can't fix them all but I'd appreciate your help.
On a lighter note, thanks to all the 240 + people who commented on the track! It still means a lot and I certainly appreciate each one! I recently finished my first album "One Day Millennium," which features 11 tracks in a very similar vein to my Star Wars remix (including a fully licensed, dance-club banging Pirates of the Caribbean techno remix). You can check out previews and purchase it for a reasonable price here:

*end short plug* :)
I'll be uploading new tracks very soon. The username "Audix" was not available here at newgrounds so I had to go with "audixmusic" instead. I'll be sticking around. :)

Well, I finally uploaded the track under my own name, though it isn't getting anywhere near the publicity it did under the plagiarized name. :/

I liked his version better, it had more passion then yours
mmm, you're kidding, right? It was the exact same song, which is kinda the point of plagiarism. :/

Damn, who knew? You have real talent, it's too bad others have to resort to things like that

What a fucking jerk. People like that make me so mad.
I didn't know it was stolen. My apologies.
Its great work, nonetheless. Keep it up! :D

Dudes a Sleeze, cant make his own. Nice job on the music btw

Man that sucks that someone would steal your music
10/20/08
Do you have proof that you made the song?
Cause if you don't, you can't say it's stolen from you.
Of course I do. Check out the upload date on this page:

It's a whole three months before he stole my track and uploaded it. I also recorded a video of the song playing in my host sequencer. I already PMed and emailed all this to the admins.

Report it to this user.

By the way, just asking, how long did it take to make?
Yeah, I reported it twice now, once last Friday and once on Monday. Also had a few friends report it too, but nothing has happened yet. :/
Hmm, the track probably took me about a month, best guess is about 25 hours of work total.

Just so you know you can get banned for reveiwing that a flash/audio is stolen, whether it is or isn't.
I was not aware of this. I would hope the admins would review it on a case-by-case basis, as I'm just trying to salvage what is left.

I hate people like that.
