I’m all for turning a blind eye to bootleg so long as it’s not just the original with a minor edit, but how do Soundcloud circumvent any dmca type behaviour that would prevent YouTube effectively offering the same service?
I have noticed with YouTube that DJ sets often have muted gaps - I assume they’re legally allowed to play the muted music but the channels don’t want to deal with combatting copywrite for their content - it’s a damn shame seeing as I cannot find unmuted versions of some sets I’d like in full.
- mjr00 3y agomy understanding is that SoundCloud does have a content ID system similar to YouTube, but most artists and non-major labels don't opt into it. Occasionally copyright strikes do happen, which is why a lot of artists will have secondary bootleg channels to avoid getting their primary account axed.
