Because people are lazy and overdependent on search engines to find stuff. They don't stop to question whether the URL is legit, is the official site, or even if it's a scam.

Those are probably some of the reasons.

If you put anything on the internet it will be copied and redistributed. I remember years ago putting some guitar tabs that I'd done up on Usenet, within about 2 weeks they were on every major tab site on the net without me having to do anything. 
 
A while ago I had a case of someone in England copying virtually my entire business website. He stole all the photos, recolored some of the vector art I'd done and reproduced entire bodies of text. Out of curiosity I did searches for random pieces of text from my website and found sites all over the world that have blatantly stolen my content word for word. I even found a site that had it translated into French. I think you have to realize that when something goes online it's effectively public domain - if not legally, then people just assume it is anyway.

You owe me $0.000000007 in royalties for that "stream"

Yes but please remember to date it Monkey. I'll be very annoyed if I get to the bank and see that you've written Goat on it.

(Sorry that I put this thread again, but I did not find my first one and wanted to talk about it.)
I was so bored that I started looking again IF there was any sites that offer to anybody the songs or tunes that I have made and put to Soundcloud(and I checked there was also others' works from this forum).
Sure there was. Also download is enabled even though I have forbidden it in the Soundcloud settings. There are a lot more than just my tunes in these places.
Makes me a bit curious why people would choose to go there and not to the official place, Soundcloud(download possibility enabled even if forbidden in Soundcloud can be one reason).
Also I am curious is it illegal (probably is)and if so can I or anybody stop that nastiness. Can we just email Soundcloud to tell them to stop it.
Are there any business models for this probably illegal action. I saw no ads with my phone.
Finally if no business model, why do the Soundcloud copiers do it?
Also, please add good questions and answers to this thread if you can.

Almost put the links, but remembered not allowed to put piracy links. Lucky me.

An easy way to find your previous thread (one you started) is to go to your user page (click your screen name at the top of the page) and look at your recent threads list. The easy way to bump your existing thread is to just add a new reply with the new questions. 
 
If your tracks permissions are set to not allow downloads, and anyone else can download the track that sound like a glitch you could alert SoundCloud to. I am not a user so maybe someone else here can guide you on where and how to make that setting stick. It is possible that SoundCloud will let the owner of the account download his stuff regardless of the settings forbidding others to do so. 
 
As to the business model for a pirate site with no advertising, the first that comes to mind is to lure browsers to infected websites to load malware. There is also a large group of people who believe that music should be free, and are happy to help to free it. The massive MP3 peer to peer sharing craze that killed the CD was not making most of the participants any money. I suspect there are some people out there who may think a cheap internet site with their favorite tunes is the ultimate "mix tape," and that the world is their girlfriend.
 
Yes, distributing copies of an author's work without a license is illegal. On a rare occasion the authorities will interdict large shipments of entertainment DVD's or software and press criminal charges, but unless you have the political clout of Microsoft or Sony, you are effectively out of luck. The internet is almost impossible to police, because of jurisdictional problems, US authorities cannot make arrests or seizures in Ukraine. There have been a few coordinated seizures of physical websites, and some blocking of websites by technical means, but these are rare and used again primarily to protect the powerful. An individual is usually limited to threatening a lawsuit, if he can find a venue to host it and a place and person to serve the papers, and the cost of doing a lawsuit is prohibitive in almost all cases of infringement.

Thanks for a really good answer.
