So wait, what's the setting for ability to use their songs in GD for if you don't allow new artists? Or is it just for the old ones?

If a new artist is legit and wants to share his songs I will take a look at it, but it wont be very often. This is a way to 100% make sure that no copyrighted content will be available in Geometry Dash. Its a tough change, but I think it is for the best What exactly do you mean with "new" artists? I don't really get it. Just people who posted they're first song or something? How would that help?

This is a good change, but I hope it won't make updates and features come slower, because that will make people mad. I suppose checking artists doesn't take that much time, but a way for GD players to suggest artists for approval would be good.

It will help because this should stop users who only create an account to upload music they did not create (copyrighted) Old artists with music already in the game will be unaffected.

Great solution Rob, hopefully it all works out in the future.
On a similar note, have you had a chance to speak with the one NG moderator about the petition and stuff? Or is that something that you may/may not want to deal with at the moment?

If a new artist shows up, checks out and is legit I will add them, but it wont be a daily thing.

When does newgrounds plan to finish the option to allow for GD? (For already scouted artists)

I think that is a good idea. I hope this changes things for the better.

So lets say you are a new artist and want to make some good music specifically for geometry dash levels... is there no way to upload your music and then request permission from you to be able to use it (after you check its not stolen) Shame... I think this could discourage new artists who would want to make real music to be used in geometry dash without such a system... At least it will solve the issue of song theft... Hope some improvements to this system (like having a request list for individual songs) comes soon Pretty sure newgrounds is a place for artists to upload songs to get actually known, not a place to put songs just for GD.

So, when someone disables their songs for use in GD, will the levels previously made with those songs still be usable? For example Xtrullor.

Also don't tell this to too many people since you are already being spammed with rate requests, you don't want artist requests too
