Does anyone have any experience of infringing copyright on SoundCloud? When I have used it I assumed that no-one would be interested in 'home' music played, recorded and produced by me with no promotion, sale or expectation of profit even though most of the music is not mine.
I'm not really interested in people's copyright advice. That's all on SoundCloud anyway in general and quite detailed terms. I'm more interested in whether or not anyone has experienced any kick back when using the platform for the sort of innocent 'domestic' use I describe above. i.e for no more than family and friends and personal pleasure.

The stinger for me, is the fact you cannot then remove it and it fills up your allocated space.
Happened to me twice with Midi remixes of VH and Clash tunes.
I was more bummed that I could not delete the tracks, so there they still sit- unable to be played, doing nothing.
I did them some time apart, both based on midi files, Humans being by VH, with my own drums, and This Is England, by the Clash, both Warners artists, I got away with it with a different track based on VH Intruder, which used actual audio, and I was amazed when a Taylor Swift track got through.
If it gets blocked, there is no option to remove the file, and I would guess they have a 3 strike rule, maybe.
Do I need to check how much Warner-related content I have up there?
MIDI is a very grey area for copyright it seems.
Realised this October that it still hasn't even been registered with PRS, e-mailed to ask why?
Obviously, Covid19 was the excuse.
Something fishy going on with CD baby, and they are meant to be the MOST reliable.
