What I really wanna know is are we gonna get a refund for the robux WE LITERALLY WASTED ON A BOOMBOX GAMEPASS? I bought them in Brookhaven RP and Welcome to bloxburg. Will we or will we not? Probably not because it’s all about money, not us.

Honestly, I really think that this is what is going to happen. This update doesn’t even help anyone, it just damages the quality of the games.

Look i understand Roblox had gotten a copyright strike for making users to pay to upload audio and i understand that artist who make the songs have the right to sue you for it if you use it on a website or make someone pay for it. But ROBLOX hear me out this situation is not the ideal way to handle this. You will lose a lot of developers because your like literality deleting all the sounds shorter than 6 seconds regardless of if it is copyrighted or not. Roblox what you should do is take a step back from this update and rethink of a better way to do this. instead of deleting every single song regardless weather it’s copyright free. i understand that you want to delete copyright off your platform in fact i’m all for you doing that. But what i don’t understand is why not leave all the non-copyrighted audio on ROBLOX like why make it private? this makes no sense Roblox. Here’s how you could handle this update instead of being lazy you could make a bot system that goes through and checks if it’s copyrighted instead of just making every uncopyrighted song private that is just plan stupid. Anyway, i’m done ranting it is your decision what you want to do ROBLOX this is just my opinion.

To be fully honest, and correct me if I’m mistaken, but this sounds like a legal issue from the opposite side! I mean think about it, this is creating a problem for thousands of users in the money department.
First, there are sales for radios/boomboxes etc. Players used robux which they purchased with real money to purchase these gamepasses, and now they’re going to be thrown out! I myself have purchased these gamepasses in the past, and now I’m going to receive nothing for what I paid!
Aside from players, there are also developers who, in the past, paid real money, yes through robux but still their money to upload sounds which are now going to be privated! This is ridiculous! How I see it, and again correct me if I’m wrong, this is creating a potential legal issue on roblox’s end (as their customers are no longer receiving what they paid for and were promised)!
There has to be another way for roblox to go about fixing this

I wonder if ROBLOX might start taking action if popular developers/influencers talk about it. 
And if not, then we should just prepare for the worst and try to get sounds working again… I hope this is seriously reconsidered, I have had so many issues with ROBLOX updates and I haven’t seen something this impacting on developers.

c’mon bois. lets get it to 3000 posts.
For real criticism, here’s my limit.
I own a studio, roblox. 100 per 30 is not enough to replace my showcase audios. I audition thousands of audios and test them in place. I’d run through this in four hours.
This discrepancy between users is weird, alongside how it says “need more?” and links to this post which is misleading. the hyperlink implies you can currently get more uploads per month.

Those developers might not be exactly sure if the update will happen. If it does, then they might consider compensation…it is impossible for developers to give Robux refunds without the user requesting it being in their group, but they can always provide in-game perks or something.

For context, I’ve just downloaded a sound effect pack from archive.org (CC BY 2.5) and worked out the average length of each sound effect to be about 9.7 seconds. The current limit is wayyy too short for most of these if I wish to use them between groups. Something like 20-30 seconds would be better.
6 seconds seems like it has been picked out of a hat.

You guys are damaging creators more THAN you are making doing solutions. Why don’t you ever open up your community for once for solutions you guys telling us to suffer with this, the only reason why we use your platform STILL is because you give us free and easy to use tools to develop games on your platform.

Do you not think this is going a bit too far? When users upload audio, they already have to set it to be available for purchase, and only then will the audio even appear on the marketplace. If users did not want their audio used in other peoples’ experiences, they would just set it to Off Sale, right?
Other than the Private feature being redundant with the Off Sale/On Sale option, what is the point if creators are not even allowed to use someone else’s Public audio in their experience period?
This is honestly horrifying, I have so many different sounds over 6 seconds and soundtracks that I use–that were uploaded by users who willingly put them on sale, and now they will just be deactivated. Great.

Fr! Might be worth a shot? Devforum has a built in messaging system, I guess it’s possible that someone could get an influencer/popular creator on here? That would be nice

So essentially you’re saying “Download everything you don’t own quickly and re-upload it yourself again.”
Like there aren’t enough duplicate files already.

I just want ROBLOX to do something like the badge update, make an upload limit per day. And keep it a regular amount that can help developers each day, without having them stress about managing their uploads per month.
Am I able to post a poll under my post? I don’t post on the Developer Forum as much and I don’t know if I’m not allowed to…

Roblox should make a checkbox like this declaring that the uploader is responsible for any copyright infringement maybe that would do the job of preventing roblox getting a lawsuit? (they should invest on their copyright bot too)

If I lived in California I would go down your headquarters right now protesting this change, because it seems like our voices are never heard to your team.

I just checked. One of my group’s hangouts (we have around 15-20 at least) has got 192 audios in it. I can upload ten per month. This would take me two years to fix, and that’s just the hangout. I still have to reupload 148 files for my other morph projects.
Add that up and I’m looking at 3 years to fix it all.
Roblox, you are terrible.

That’s my biggest issue - they expect us to prepare but they don’t give much leeway, making it way more annoying than it needs to be

I did some math.
For me, for ONE, GAME OF MINE
I would need to replace 327 Audios.
Roughly 4-5 Years I think…
I don’t have the time to fix that.
