Remixes & Copyright
Hi DJTT!
I’ve been remixing for quite a while now and I wanted to upload some of my work on soundcloud.
When it finishes it says that the songs contain parts of other songs that are protected with copy write.
I knew that ofcours, but I tought Bootlegs & Mashups didn’t fall under this copy write infrightment.
How do I publish my own remixes?
Thx guys!
Cheers
No idea why you would think that, but they technically do.
K so why can you remix eight tracks in eachother and put it online as a ‘set’, but when you put 4 tracks and make 1 of it it’s illegal to put it online? It doesn’t make much sense to me. And you aren’t very constructive.
Just upload it anyway dude…
Have you read what soundcloud says about it?
They something along the line of “Just because someone else posted something, doesnt mean you can and/or allowed to”
Unauthourised remixes and bootlegs are illeagal, plain and simple. I personally dont think this is fair, but thats the rules.
Soundcloud doesn’t allow those either as far as I know.
There is always ways to get around the rules… whether you want to, is up to you.
I’ve got no problem with that mate..
Yep, technically DJ sets are against the soundcloud rules as well. They have software that scans the sets before they’re made live and will sometimes spit that same message out to you. Usually though it’s only on certain songs or songs on certain labels. I think Sony and everything that falls under it’s umbrella is a big player in the we own it and you can’t do anything with it game.
What he is saying is that It’s illegal.. But just post it regardless
Whoever made the original song technically owns the copyright, so any remixes or bootlegs (and especially mixes) are technically illegal. If you’re a nobody (like me), they usually leave you alone. But, if it came down to it, they original artist/label/etc. could file a lawsuit against you. And, since SC wants to cover it’s own ass, they use software to detect copyright infringement. Plain and simple, don’t upload anything other than original tracks to SC if you want to stay 100 percent legal.
We already had a very helpful article about copyright (btw: What does “copywrite” mean? 
) on DJTT!
Danke!
And if i remember correctly, it states that bootlegs are o.k. because they’re derivative work of art, or something like that.
Yeah… they’re not okay. If you sample anyones track with out their permission it’s illegal. The only question is are they going to find out and purse legal recourse though
Bootlegs are unlicensed remixes. I REALLY don’t think they would make it to the ok list.
Da hat sich aber einer verraten, aus welchem Land er stammt
(Translation: Now someone has betrayed himself from which country he is. )
This!
Seems to be pretty unfair… well i use underground music most ot the time so thats no big problem for me…
Noch einer der sich gerade verrät!
What does?
