hi folks, i need an opinion from a music copyright expert so neither the CS nor the success manager are able to give because they don't know the subject.
I'll try to be clear:
a colleague of ours, luckily not me, and my friend was banned from Fiveer, forever, because they say he infringed the copyright, bitrayed by one of his clients.
It happened that the same customer tried to put the song made on youtube and was blocked, because it is the same as another.
Talking to my friend we were able to understand why, he used a sample, free copyright and royalty free, taken from OUTPUT ARCADE, a sampler that works on the cloud, regularly bought, the same one that used another producerr, so the algorithm youtube recognized it and blocked the song.
Fiveer's client immediately reported this to CS and my friend was banned for life.
But he didn't infringe the copyright, he only used the sample, like everyone on this earth does everyday, he didn't copy a melody or an arrangement, so Fiveer is in the wrong.
Give me a lawyer opinion and be very careful to use samples taken. from libraries, someone could betray you.
