Uploading songs to Soundcloud w/o copyright struggle

[Jusi.Sahota]

Soundcloud wont let me upload a track because of one song on this mix i made. Any loopholes to have it uploaded to soundcloud?

I've done this for a couple of tracks (both successful), if you add a bit of reverb over the whole track (or the one in question), it may pass

^ That didn't work either boss

Get rid of the ID tags. That might help solve the problem.

i put it in the competition chat thing but use the DMCA fair use clause. put it in the track description.


here it is

"This posting qualifies as fair use under the guidelines specified in 17 USC Section 107, as it is for the purposes of "criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research." the latter bit is a straight quote from the DMCA law text creative commons isn't going to work because that requires that the original copyright holder license his shit under CC in the first place; no one does that. DMCA protects fair use for works that are already copyrighted. technically someone can take you to court over abuse of fair use but they're not going to go through all that hassle

This does not truly apply to remixes. Depending on how the artist/label feels about them, they can go after you for copyright infringement (aka can be removed from SC, youtube, etc). I know anything sampled that is released under Universal (and all of its branches) is a safe to say they will remove it.

Soundcloud's copyright detecting algorithm is good but it can be bypassed by changing the pitch and speed of whatever you're uploading. I'm not sure if it's fullproof but if you change the speed by 2-3 bpm I'm pretty sure it'll pass.

BPM changes dont work. Pitch shift work only on a few songs.
The algorithm doesnt just focus on the music, it also detects vocals.

I don't agree sir. I call BS because its worked every time for me and many other people who've encountered the same problem.

Post any song that hasn't cleared on soundcloud for you no matter what you've tried. I'll have it up I got no doubt watsoever
