Don't blame SoundCloud. If you're looking for a villain to vilify, look no further than the RIAA. They're the reason there's so few live music venues, or even jukeboxes. They'll demand fees if you just put a TV in your restaurant or bar! 20 years ago the RIAA shifted from being a champion of artists into a money-making enterprise unto itself.
That and Copyright Laws need to come up to speed (sorry Mods if I slightly-tripped the TOS wire) but anyway....
Obviously some users have half a brain and policitians haven't a clue so, in regards to all these mashups; instead of hanging the docile DJ and cover artists with a shoot first ask questions later mentality, how about hitting them with a '
pay the licence fee or remove the song(s)' shirly THAT would be a more suitable way to manage copyright infringements rather than have sites that act like bumbling comedian cops or in another example; have a battling poor mother get hunted down by overweight fat-cats, dragged her into court and hit the poor lady with a massive fine.
So, yeah! What a freaking world we live in. Beam me up Scotty!!
