I find it a bit odd that there are links to so many cover songs here...  and the royalties you guys must pay per play must be a lot... well if you have the rights to use the songs anyway....  and CW must have some big deals with the collection firms...
I also wonder how I would feel if someone mangled my song and then renamed it to avoid royalty fees...? hum?
how would you feel? 
 
But happy days for songwriters are coming... The tomorrows will be interesting...
I mean how hard can it be to copy cloud links  of cover songs and paste them on all the royalty collection facebook sites... ?
The hit counters are rolling and they can't be deleted... I believe sound cloud is owned by a major record label... I wonder when they will cash out every cover song per play?
 
Playing covers without paying royalties is still a crime right? or am I missing something?

Ah. So your weird lame trolling attempts didn't work out for ya and now you're making weird lame threats.
 
What happened to that big heartfelt apology to the forum about a week ago? Yanno, the one where you said you would be a little more respectful to the forum and everyone graciously gave you the benefit of the doubt (including me).
 
Also I don't think posting links to people's covers on the "royalty collection facebook sites" (lol) is going to get the result you think it will.
 
BTW... I don't have any covers posted/released anywhere on the intertubes. I've just played on a few put together by other people.
 
For someone who isn't mad you sure seem to be putting a lot of thought and effort into all this... and making multiple TOS violations in the process.
 
You gonna threaten to call the police on Cakewalk again now? That was a classic.

I've recorded a few covers, but never for money.  If my re-working became well-known enough to invite a lawsuit, I'd probably be flattered.  And good luck getting blood from this stone.
 
Hey, maybe that should be my new band name:  "The Bloodless Stones?"

So... what are you saying? You saw a high comment CHC post and decided to troll it to get clicks on your own song?
 
Wow. You almost got 20 whole listens out of the deal. You should be very proud.

Yeah, about those royalties...  doesn't that somehow involve money?    If so, has anyone here ever been paid directly from a cover song posted on SoundCloud?    I only have one posted myself, but now I'm curious if I'm missing out on something...

Yeah, no kidding. Even a "cease and desist" or a measly "take down" would mean you're likely doing something right. lol
 
BTW... been meaning to get back to you. Just been distracted/busy.
 
Hope you're well.

Yea, I think that most bands let it go but there are some that go after everyone.. it's not about the cash it's about steeling... Metallica comes to mind... That is a really cool name! maybe for a song as well... you should grab the dot com... and run with it!

Years ago, i was friends with a band called "Tylenol 5 (extra strange)."  They got threatened with a lawsuit, so they changed their name.  But they were thrilled to realize how well known they were.  haha
