why would you upload a mix to soundcloud?

So people can download it, are you new to this mate? Go to http://www.soundcloud.com and let me know how you get on.

Attachment 17175 is this what sound cloud looks like when it won't let you post a set because it may contain copyrighted material?

Did you think about using google for the answer man?

this took me 5 seconds to find - http://help.soundcloud.com/customer/...-won-t-upload-

don't be lazy

Haha wow totally don't get this here let me break this down
.

No, we get it dude. I just think your anger is misplaced.

1. I have never had this happen and was asking is this what it looks like when they get tagged as infringing.

I had mix taken down but I did not see that message.

2.why does it not say mix contains copy rights material if that is the case.
.

Dunno, as Nicky says, I don't think that is the copyright warning.

3. It is a gray area because copyright laws and TOS agreements based around copyright laws are in of themselves a gray area.
.

No, they really aren't grey areas at all. Not in any way, shape or form. Uploading another persons track without explicit consent is copyright infringement (if copyright exists).

Regardless of 'personal' opinion (which yours is) and regardless of what is common sense (what we agree on) aaaaaand regardless of anybodys municipal laws (country specific) you are breaking YOUR contract with the company, Soundcloud.

Soundcloud even say that they do not give legal advice on copyright but they clearly state what THEY consider to ok or not ok.

Let this be a valuable to lesson to anyone who uses public services that allow you to use their services for free or paid. You are often giving up a lot of control over the content that you post when you use these services. Facebook, instragram, soundcloud, if any of these services were to crash there would be no way to get your content back (unless you kept a local copy). I think it's important to consider creating your own blog/website and using services and players that allow you to host the content on your site. I recently listened to a podcast where this entrepreneur created "Pressgram" (filtered photo editing with uploading to wordpress) for this reason, he can now own his pictures and not sacrifice control to a company such as soundcloud or instagram. I'm not condemning these services you shouldn't use them but by relying on them 100% can definitely backfire and work against you.

Even Grandtheft (famous canadian producer) recently complained about soundcloud blocking his music, which in most cases are official label released remixes.

are you new to this thread? or just posting randomly without reading.

Soundcloud realizes you can download mixes.. which is why they dont want to infringe on copyrights... why is why you shouldnt post mixes on soundcloud unless you know that there is potential of it being removed.

aka, the whole point of this thread.

I've never had this problem and I hope to god it doesn't happen to me, I barely download Illegal music anyway! Either freebies or tracks I really love get put on and If I love the track I don't mind spending £1.50 on it

Mate, it doesn't matter if you have bought the track. Copyright law means you cannot upload a mix with those 'bought' tracks.
Buying a track does not give you the right to upload it in a mix or in any format.

This has nothing to do with illegally sourced music (torrents, shared etc).

We all know this is a bollocks law (regarding DJ mixes) but it is the way things are and there are artists that WILL pursue a DJ through the courts if they find their track in a mix. It's rare but it happens. I have first hand knowledge of a world famous DJ that threatened action against a DJ if he didn't remove an uploaded mix with a track that he remixed. The DJ in question (who I will not name) is a first class c*nt.
