Dear players of Geometry Dash, Geometry Dash allows users to create their own levels using music from the Newgrounds Audio Portal, which is great because the Audio Portal is a vast resource and helps promote individual artists on NG. There have been some unintended consequences, however. As a result of Geometry Dash, NG experienced a huge uptick in stolen music uploads. Designers began treating Newgrounds as a file dump for their Geometry Dash levels and ever since our mod team has been working overtime to remove illegal uploads. We had to disable downloading for all non-scouted artists to curb the misuse. As a result of that we now get daily customer support emails from people wanting to know why their NG uploads don't work in Geometry Dash. Please be aware, the Newgrounds Audio Portal is only for musicians to share their original work. If you ARE a musician and are sharing your original work but still aren't being scouted by the community, you could try participating in the Audio Advertisement thread here: www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/253861Thank you for reading and we hope you continue to enjoy Newgrounds as a resource for original music! --TomFulp

This is indeed a huge problem for NG, but I am afraid most players who upload copyrighted sutff on NG either will ignore this or simply won't notice this message.
