i don't even know what to say about this. this is honestly just sad.
https://freesound.org/people/Rie-chanThirty/
practically every sound this user has uploaded have been ripped straight from commercial sound libraries. and by that, i mean MAJOR commercial libraries. i'm talking like hollywood edge, dynamic range, soundelux, sound ideas, they've even stolen from the BBC's own sound library. really big and well-known companies in the sound design industry. this is pretty obviously a major copyright violation that could potentially get so many users in hot water if they were to download and use these sounds in their projects.
take a listen to this:

this pistol reload sound effect is ripped straight from one of soundelux's libraries. i know this, because i bought this exact same sound effect to use in my own projects from sounddogs a few years back. they didn't even bother changing the name of the file to mask the fact that they're committing copyright infringement. i reported it over a month ago and it still hasn't been removed. i even left a comment calling them out and still nothing. they just keep uploading.
here is the original sound in question:
https://www.sounddogs.com/Search?RecordingType=Sound%20Effects%20and%20Music&NavSearch=True&keywords=10664936%20
another user pointed out in the comments that one of their sounds appears to be ripped directly from a youtube video. now to be fair to the uploader, they could have gotten permission from the video creator to extract the sound from their video and upload it here, but considering how they have no issue openly committing copyright infringement, i seriously doubt it.
here's the sound they uploaded:

and here's the original video (i've timestamped the exact spot where the sound was extracted from)

i'm making this thread partially to warn people not to download from this user, and also in the hopes that action can be taken against them. i don't want this user's actions to jeopardize this website.
I'll report it to mods and take appropriate action, if necessary I'll handle the infringing sounds.
Thank you for reporting and if you ever find any other sounds that are possibly copyright infringing, please let me know as we take this very seriously.
Thanks again!
