Hey, so does anyone know the rules around what can and can not be uploaded to Roblox when it comes to music? Does all sound uploaded have to be custom made or is it allowed to be like some new Linkin' Park song? I'm just wondering before i upload to make sure its not a copyright infringement. i assume its not based on ideas being made into Roblox games all the time, but i thought id ask.

In general, it's a bad idea to upload copyrighted material.

I see, but many game ideas are copied all the time. So i was just wondering if Roblox has some permission saying its allowed. Hmm... Is it against copyright laws if you list the music's composer and title in your game description?

I would imagine that using other games on Roblox that were made on Roblox would be a different matter than using something entirely separate, like music.

Attribution doesn't always automatically make it okay. I would recommend trying to get permission from the copyright holder(s), but that would probably be difficult to do...

Of course, I might be wrong about some of this.

AFter a quick sweep through the catalog, i noticed extensive amounts of obviously copyrighted songs such as Gangnam style and thrift shop. So im assuming as long as you dont profit off of it, its not piracy. So im going to go ahead and upload basedd on the general public of ROBLOX.

Just because a lot of other people do it doesn't make it right. If everyone in your town wanted to do something illegal, just because the majority of the public does it doesn't make it okay.

Alright alright. Even every decal on ROBLOX is copyrighted as well though. Every picture site has its own copyright info. So i'd assume its okay. But i'll just contact the ROBLOX hq and see what they think of it. If its allowed by them then i will go thorugh with it.
