SoundCloud? User Opinions? Copyrights? Other rights?

Post by Scott Shewbridge »

A Facebook friend has started using SoundCloud and it also looks like Jeff Beck is giving it a go. From a forum search, I see that a few folks are using it here too; How's it working for you?

I've been looking for a way to share things in a limited way and respect copyright. It seems like this might work, since distribution is not wide open; it is tracked and seems like it can be held within limits consistent with licenses, when needed. Any thoughts?

If you put original work up, what future rights are you giving the SoundCloud host? Any? Are those rights revocable (i.e., can I take back anything I allow them to host and reserve all future rights)? Right now, they indicate they claim no rights, but they also reserve the right to change terms of use after notification. This is not necessarily a deal breaker for me, but I am wondering.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
