RIP Roblox

 Why the title you ask? Many audio clips that uploaded to the platform by developers will be privated and removed by March 22nd.

After that, everyone will stop using Roblox and the platform will close its doors for good in the coming months. 


There is a class action Lawsuit by the big music industry because many have uploaded the popular meme "The Coffin Dance" titled ID Astronmia.


According to the Roblox Development Forums, audio must be 6 seconds long otherwise they will be private. Radio and boomboxes will no longer work. Plus you must use Roblox's own sounds and copyrighted free or licensed music form other groups like APM or Monstercat. Furthermore you can no longer use the roblox music ID.

Music based experiences including Funky Friday will cease to exist.


Either way Roblox is going to get shuttered in the coming months and not just that more users will be leaving the platform, but we are seeing a jury trail which. means the end. And we are talking about statutory damages of $200 Million by music companies.

Plus, I can't scan my ID because I just moved and I have to get a new one. Furthermore I don't have a phone.


Ascimo3089 us working to get the sounds on Jailbreak replaced until the deadline. The Cargo Ship sound is going to be hard to replace because APMMusic will not let him license the sound and music.

Roblox could've done the same thing as Youtube did for their video platform,  establish a content ID system and filter all the copyrighted audio which is a better improvement. But instead, Roblox has to delete all the audio, which Asimo cannot reupload the music because they were uploaded as a group under Badimo and I don't know what happened to BadCC.


Enjoy the last 10 days while you can. And please share this post and leave a comment.
