Some of the independent shows I do have been taken down, claiming through automated processes that it did not comply with terms of service.
I’ve provided the fact that the music we play, including the several we recently baught were under a non-share alike license, but they said no.
I believe it was because they heard music in the background, and not knowing that what I was previewing was new Bandcamp material, they took it down and it was all automated.
On first podcast, they asked me when it was anchor whether I had the right to play it, and i said that independents were part of the non-share alike licensing scheme which it is.
The tech podcast is mainly talk, and so is TSB. Where TSB was uploaded to the independent channel, they took it down because of Queen’s track which is copywritten, but it is one of those that is older in years than I am possibly. Maybe the same age.
The point is, that Spotify’s platform does care about copyright, and while I don’t know who the NMPA is, I know that they’re trying to do whatever they can to curve copywritten material without proper licensing.
The article from 9 to 5 mac is titled Spotify hit with cease and desist from music publishers alleging ‘direct infringement’ and I am curious on what you think of this potential issue.
To be fair, I do not know who the NMP is, and this makes this very interesting.
We’ll be in touch.
