How can I not allow others to use my music once uploaded to the Roblox Platform?

Hi, I am Bleevo.

Please let me know on how I can stop others from using my music once it is uploaded to the Roblox Platform as I am pretty confused on how I can stop others from reuploading to the website and using it for themselves so I can stop clones of my game.

I am pretty new to this idea so please let me know,
Thank you :smiley:

(to my current knowledge) you cant stop people stealing audio/assets from your game and uploading it. Looking all over the Devforum with people asking similar stuff and all answers lead to if it runs Local to your game then there’s not a lot you can do. If you find someone using your audio without permission then you could DMCA (aka copyright strike) the game/account. Some people will add audio of their name or group before the main audio starts as a way to claim it and semi discourage people to use it.

What do you mean name or group but thanks a lot it makes sense :slight_smile:
If I upload it to youtube, do I have the permission of sending a DMCA to Roblox?
Couldn’t they just cut the name or group and upload it? a little confused.

Some audios will have at the start “Made by (name)” or “This audio was made by (name)” then play the actual song. There is always the chance they somehow download it and edit out the name. (Im no legal expert. Research yourself before taking my words) With DMCA as long as you have proof you made the audio you should have full legal right to owning it. Uploading it to Youtube as unlisted will help if you need to email Roblox to have it taken down just need to paste the link. Best bet is to email Roblox or look for music creators on the site and ask etc.

Oh okay thanks alot :slight_smile:

Just toggle this

Thanks alot! I have never seen it but what about people who record it using an audio recorder and re upload the audio?
I think some people might go that far to get what they want :expressionless:

roblox.com/support > DMCA

You have every legal right to that audio, so you could DMCA them. If you want to be really technical, they could just record the sound from your game too, so disallowing copying is the closest you’ll get to blocking it.

You could compare original upload dates, maybe even have an unlisted YouTube video (like wellsway said) and show the upload date of that too (make sure to upload the YouTube video at the same time as the audio)
