Firstly, I'd like to say that this has amazed me somewhat.
Did I produce this track? Of course I did. But there's an acapella on top, making it a remix - which your options let me clearly point out.
If Strictly Rhythm don't like it when amateurs, no matter how talented they may or may not be, produce remixes using their officially sold acapella's and try to get an audience somehow, maybe they shouldn't be selling them in the first place.
Whether you delete the track or put it back available, I don't really care. I love what I did with those vocals. I sent it to Yasmeen, the original artist, via Facebook. This was her response:
Hi Jack
Thanks! I really like that mix! Sounds great.
Hope you're well
Yas
It seems to me that she didn't really care about copyright issues. But her opinion on the matter is probably as irrelevant as mine.
Anyway, my friends have downloaded the track already. And if anyone else asks for a re-upload, I won't put it on SoundCloud.
I understand that you're just doing your job, but could you ask the people over at Strictly Rhythm to do the same?
Thanks,
Jack |
