Stupid Aggregator
I am a producer, songwriter, arranger, composer, and guitarist of Absurd Music (Buta Nada/Buta Nada♪♫). In early July, I tried to release my new single through SoundOn, but a few days later I got a rejection from SoundOn, where they said my song contained licensed samples and caused copyright. Of course, I didn't stay silent. I immediately reached their support center, and here my annoyance started to emerge. The questions were repeated more or less like this: "Hello, We apologize for the problems that occurred. Can you provide upload details related to your release? (Artist name, song title, song submission date, song release date, ISRC, UPC). We need to inform you that for any form of reproduction of existing songs (including remixes, covers, and use of samples), you must have official permission from the songwriter or song publisher. If your release is an original release, please confirm by including evidence in the form of official documents such as a copyright certificate (if any) and proof of a screenshot (screen record) from the digital audio workstation (DAW) that you used when producing the song. (Please send the file in the form of a Google Drive file and set access to public." Even though I had replied with what they asked for, the peak was when I asked to terminate the contract between Absurd Music and SoundOn, but they never replied or answered where my mistake was. A week later, they even sent a customer satisfaction survey. I think this is a very stupid step they took; they already know I'm angry and waiting for an answer that, until today (after 20 days of reporting), has not come. Whether they are really stupid, just pretending to be stupid, or what I don't know, the problem is that there are two problems before this: the first is the transfer of singles from another aggregator, and the second is a problem on SoundCloud. But I won't tell here.
