Music download section no longer available to guests

Due to episodes of plagerism (such as
this person
) on our music, we have decided to restrict access to our MP3s. From now on, only the radio will be available to guests. To download the individual mp3s you will need to register a forum account.

I totally agree with Builderboy.
I despise plagiarists, especially when they get away with it.

completely agree with this move... cheaters shouldn't be allowed to use others' music and depict it as their own.

It's too bad stuff like this happens.
Hopefully this change will keep people from visiting Omnimaga just to steal our songs (as well as those mp3 web-crawlers)

What about making the entire download section unavailable?

Nah I don't want that. After all, CalcG, Ticalc and Cemetech downloads sections were always visible to guests. Most visitors come here for news and downloads and on UTI, people did not appreciate to have to register to download attachments.
Just the music section as well as the video section should be fine. On the old board, the music section was turned OFF to guests in October 2007 (the final 3 months) too, but back then it was for bandwidth issues (the songs were hosted on United-TI, at omnimaga.unitedti.org, and UTI only had 45 GB bandwidth per month, which we almost maxed out once because of a web crawler that grabbed Techno Strike MP3 link)

Hmm....what about setting up a forum board just for the music? You can restrict forum sections to specific ranks, right? Probably more work than it's worth though
not a bad change IMO

Nah I doN,t feel like changing the entire download section for music, plus we already have a board for music made by everyone anyway.

Well, after my Newground account got hacked 3 times (somebody changed my password, despite me choosing secure/random ones, and one of those incidents was earlier today), since in the future I plan to sell my electronic power metal songs, I decided to take no chance and wiped everything I could out of my Newgrounds account, in case this happens again and that I lose control on my songs. Whenever I uploaded stuff there it just got overran by zero-bombers voters anyway.
Also I would prefer that those 7 songs, unless my sale plan fails, no longer remains in Omnimaga archives as medium/high quality download, same for any other site, which means I edited the files with lower quality versions or previews and added a Youtube link.

Well as you can see, our music is still in his account and I reported him twice over a year ago. Yet they did nothing. This and the vote bombers (people who vote every new song or any non-mainstream stuff 0/5) are reasons why I lost respect towards NG over the time.
