You’re not going to believe this: I was permanently banned from both these subreddits, r/SFXLibraries and r/AudioPost for “piracy efforts”! Where or how did I commit “piracy” in any of these reddit posts?! Only adding insult to injury; I got immediately muted from contacting both subreddit admins for 28 days! I didn’t even mention anything pirate-related like keygens or torrents. I just asked for help to locate these sound effect and music libraries. Adding more insult to injury, after my 28 day mute expired, they muted me again for ANOTHER 28 days!
So therefore, I need to ask somewhere else. But even those other sites aren’t fairing any better! - My Deviantart journal included. How can something as simple and innocent as asking where I can acquire this audio file (stock music for Most Shocking Police Videos or Skywalker Sound sound effect) be treated as… a FULL-SCALE FELONY?!
I thought hard and I tried , and low and behold: they all deleted my question or block me because I “attempted illegal shares” or the question doesn’t really fit their forum site. Obviously, when there’s a question, it needs answers! What is an animation video without music or sound effects?! I have high doubts that Alvin Earthworm ever purchased any sprites or sound effects or music for his Super Mario Bros Z.
Why don’t YOU give me advice where I can seek this answer, because I am running out of places to try. And so far, no luck on The VG Resource either. Speaking of which, did they totally forget about iOS Jailbreaking, reverse engineering, and The VG Resource? These are ways to acquire things without getting into trouble.
I’m just trying to do what every ordinary animator does: make animation videos! Something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFi8vGXkLFM and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFMkkkci-rw These guys uploaded it with no problem! Yet the mod bozos treated me like a worldwide-wanted criminal!
I have high doubts that these lego animators ever purchased these sounds. Note: these sound effects were free to download - back when SoundDogs was in control of distributing these sounds at that time period.
Although I did manage to find audiolibrary.sonypictures.com and soundideas.souceaudio.com thanks to a tip, this is only part of my mission accomplished. I still need the following: DePatie, DFE, Disney, Elektra Records, Famous Studios, FOX, Star Trek: Original TV Series, Joel Valentine, Hacienda, Hanna Barbera, Horta, Horta Hacienda, Alex Fresno, BBC, Bob Clampett, Harry Bluestone, Nickelodeon, Nelvana, New Warner Bros, NTWK, OMI, Pro Sound Effects, PSEL, Rocky and Bullwinkle, 20th Century Fox, Audio Effects Co., Rich Harrison, Mark Mangini, Richard L. Anderson, Skywalker, Warner Bros, Turner Entertainment, Unknown Sound Effects Library, and Valentino libraries in addition to the sounds used in Super Mario Bros Z (original) to complete my mission.
And one more: stock music like from reality shows such as Most Shocking Police videos.
