Why are these guys reporting Soundcloud accounts?

Apparently it's these guys who have been reporting DJ accounts on Soundcloud:

I don't get why these two would do this? Such an immature thing to do. Disgrace to the Bhangra circuit and the creativity it stands for.

For the record, WE DIDN'T REPORT ANYONE. Please get your facts straight before believing someone that is angry about losing all their followers and is just looking for someone to blame.

That conversation is between me and Jassi when we realized someone we know might be reporting our mixes. Jassi is the one that sent KSR those screenshots (as for why, you gotta ask him). We had a good reason to be suspicious so we looked into how copyright infringement on Soundcloud works. However, our mixes stopped getting reported, so we never actually did anything about it because as far as we were concerned the problem was gone. The mistake that was made was telling another DJ how it works. This third DJ had links to KSR so when KSR's mixes started getting reported he dropped our name and that is how this misunderstanding started. The screenshots posted are ALTERED. The actual screenshots name drop the DJ reporting us and KSR edited his name out to make it look like we had this mass conspiracy to delete everyone's account.

I haven't uploaded in 6 months due to being hit with a copyright email whenever I do. I'm on my last strike and you think I'm out here reporting other peoples mixes? I don't gain anything from reporting someones work. Let that man drop his podcasts he isn't harming me in anyway.

I've tried reasoning with KSR but after much conversation it's obvious to me he enjoys the BS. His solution is that if we want to clear our names then find out who really is reporting everyone. If I knew a way to find out, wouldn't I do it for my own mixes?? ??? ??? ???

Thought I'd chime in.
There might not be anyone actually reporting your material, but materials (samples, hooks, vocals, etc) that you used that has been previously reported and flagged which in turn flags and takes down what you posted.

Its a double edged sword for SC since you could have produce something from the group up from scratch but accidentally used a chord progression that has been flagged before, leading to your stuff being taken down.
