so my buddy is all bummed hard core because they nuked his account, in his own words:

This morning I was notified that my soundcloud has been terminated due to a third strike of copyright. This was dude to two prior hour long mixes from 3 years ago, and my most recent Justin Bieber remix. I feel it is so unfair, I had over 4,300 followers, 300,000 plays, so much support from awesome people and it's all gone. I wasn't even aware this was my third strike which is the worst part. I am so saddened man I don't know if I should make another account and start from scratch or what I should do. I am torn.

so long story short they term'd his account. you're a smart bunch and I learn a lot here so I'm wondering if you guys have any ideas on getting it back? let me know :)

Well, that sucks. Did he illegally use Bieber's acapella/samples for his remix, or did he simply include his name? Also, what accounted for the copyright infringement in his hour-long mixes?

SoundCloud's been getting a lot of bad rep for suddenly deactivating accounts, citing three strikes when none have actually been given.

It's a shame, but when an independent company like SC gets pressured by major corporations they just don't know how to handle it.

Why not just repost on youtube?

Infringing copyrights has repercussions? Who'd a thunk it?
