Hi
First off, sorry if this is the wrong area of the forums to be posting this in, but wanted to get a bit of advice on posting mixes to soundcloud
This morning, I upload my mix for the Drum&Bass Arena Pioneer DJ Competition to Soundcloud, emailed them the link and all seemed fine. Gone on just now to post the link over here to get a bit of feedback and got a message saying my mix has been taken down due to copyright infringement. Now, this is the first time I've made a mix available in the public domain, (normally I just to a bit of DJing at house parties, mixes for car journeys etc) but I kinda assumed that there wouldn't be a problem with it seeing how many mixes there are on soundcloud and in the public domain in general. Might be worth noting, all tunes were legally obtained, couple from CDs but most downloaded off itunes.
I've read through the copyright pages and it seems to fall down on 'does the recording contain any music or excerpts from other copyright works'. Fair enough, but surely every DJ who plays out or uploads stuff on the internet hasn't sought out permission from every artists/record label to use their song in a mix?
There's an option to challenge the claim, so my question is really how best to go about doing this?
Thanks in advance for any help
