I've had a series of movies I've imported into flash and put up on newgrounds.

The videos are just dubs. It takes awhile to do the voices and put all the audio in there - but other than that they're just sound to re-used footage.

Apparently the very thought of something of this medium even crossing such a public display such as newgrounds has pissed off quite a few people. The reasons I've heard thus far have been
1) It's not -really- flash work
2) It's not your art
3) "Everything by everyone" isn't meant to be taken literally.

And, those are very good complaints. If the adimns and mods deem it necessary to remove such content I respect their decision.

But I do have a response -
While the ToS does implicitly say that "if it's not your art - don't upload it" - I need to point the spotlight at sprites and sprite works. The art, while manipulated in such a manner that doesn't reflect movement from the original creators of the art, still isn't the uploader's art. (unless of course the sprites are custom).

Now, I'm well aware sprites is controversial in itself and there is a whole group of people who feel that sprite movies, of any kind, are crap. None the less they are allowed. Beyond that, they have their own sections. Beyond that STILL - they are featured. Super Mario Bros Z, albeit, very good, is still sprites. And yet, is in the top 50 best newgrounds works of -all- -time-.

My videos are ripped and replaced to different sound.
Sprites are ripped and placed to different sound.
Videos aren't allowed yet sprites are?

Again, I'm well aware that sprites give you much more control of the end effect where as video is just - you have a set amount of animation that's it - end of story. The art, however, still isn't created by the uploader. However, in both cases, proper credit -is- given to the creator of said art.

Doesn't that then make the two the same? No?

I make a sprite movie where the animation follows a game sequence -exactly- but is still in flash. I get voice actors to act out a Zelda scene exactly. The art, and now, the animation is exactly the same. But, the sound is different.

Is this allowed?

Should this be deemed acceptable but something like my videos considered a hanus act of breaking the newgrounds ToS?
