Tommy Tallarico Sound Design Kit Now Available

Yup. As stated in the quote below, Tommy has never shown ownership, yet Roblox is still removing the sound.

@Roblox

Roblox’s founders, Erik and David, got the oof sound (along with all the original Roblox sounds) from a stock sound CD-ROM they purchased of licensed, copyright free sounds (not from an illegal website as Tommy has suggested on social media).

We deeply respect the rights of IP creators, and we have built our platform over the past 12+ years based on respecting and honoring creators.
Even though Tommy has no copyright to the “oof” sound (and in response to our requests he has presented us no proof of ownership to it) we’ve nevertheless been working in good faith to reach a fair resolution with him. As part of that, we have asked Tommy to become part of our creative community and we look forward to exploring that opportunity with him further.

I have a few more things, though.

Why is Roblox so scared?
As clearly stated in the post above, Roblox purchased the sounds copyright-free, meaning Roblox shouldn’t be afraid of being sued or anything else. Now, I understand that they might be afraid of Tommy giving them a bad reputation. This shouldn’t be an issue. Keep using the sound, and if Tommy somehow threatens them, or sends some sort of implied message that they will get a bad reputation from him unless they remove the sound, that’s blackmail. It’s illegal, and they can report Tommy to the police.

Are they deliberately siding with Tommy?
Again,

Roblox has the rights, and yet they are still working with Tommy. It seems they are still deciding to work with him for some reason. Why? They have no reason to.
