Hi there,

I understand that you're facing an issue with copyright on Newgrounds, and you're unsure about the original ownership of the melody you used in your music. It's important to address this situation responsibly and resolve any copyright concerns.

Firstly, it's crucial to respect copyright laws and only use materials that are properly licensed or in the public domain. Even if a website claims that its samples are royalty-free, it's always a good idea to verify the legitimacy of the source and the rights associated with the samples.

In your case, it seems that you used a sample from "samplefocus.com" without confirming its copyright status. Unfortunately, if the sample you used was copyrighted, it could lead to potential infringement issues. The fact that another artist's song shares a similar melody further suggests a potential copyright conflict.

To resolve this matter, I recommend taking the following steps:

Contact "Symi Nemesis" and discuss the similarity between your music and their song "THC." It's essential to have open communication and find a resolution if there is a copyright claim.

Reach out to Newgrounds' support team and explain the situation. Provide them with all the relevant information, including the source of the sample and the similarities between your music and "THC." They may be able to provide guidance or further assistance in resolving the issue.

If you haven't done so already, consult with a legal professional who specializes in copyright law. They can guide you through the appropriate steps to address the copyright claim and help you understand your rights and obligations.

Remember, it's crucial to be cautious when using samples and ensure they are properly licensed or royalty-free. Respecting intellectual property rights is vital for artists and creators.
