Lovely Elevator Music... Let me make this clear.

Stop using this shitty one...

Use this optimized one...

Cant edit or delete the original, so I've had to resort to this.

A revenue cut is also appreciated. My tracks been heard over 2 million times, and its my shittiest composition. In addition, its incredibly unclear when submitting audio where this stands in terms of commercial-ism... You submit and agree to a Creative Commons non-commercial license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b y-nc-sa/3.0/)... yet its encouraged that flash developers use this music, which is then used to generate insane amounts of revenue....

That made sense before revenue came in, where money could be made through Newgrounds monthly prizes, which are effectivly a 'gift' from the staff... but now, you can set out to make a game and use as much music from the audio portal as you want, breaking the terms of the license you agree to when you submit music.. Now revenue has come in, surely these are commercial products.

Thats why I've now boycotted the audio portal. There should be a greater range of control for musicians submitting their work to the portal. They should have the power to specify a minimum revenue cut should people choose to use their music, as well as choose whether users can download music and/or use music in flashes... Newgrounds has evolved and the audio portal has stayed in the dark. Ugh, annoying.

Dick out.
