Re: [LAU] Just a reminder

Any and all music, videos, photos, pictures, graphics, comments, and other content, data or information that USER uploads, stores, transmits or submits to SOUNCLOUD’s Website (hereinafter "Content") are generated by the USER, but not by SOUNDCLOUD. USER’s Content therefore remains in USER’s sole property and responsibility. 2. SOUNDCLOUD does not claim any ownership rights in any Content and other materials which USER uploads, posts, stores or exchanges through SOUNDCLOUD’s Website and Services." So my music remains mine and that includes any licences I put on it if I got that correctly. Below that I read: "Representations and Warranties USER represents and warrants to SOUNDCLOUD that: 4. USER’s Content is an original work by USER and/or USER has all necessary rights, licenses, consents and permissions to use, and to authorize SOUNDCLOUD to use, any and all copyrights, performance rights or other intellectual property rights in and to USER’s Content in order to use the Content on SOUNDCLOUD’s Website and Services;" And even further below: "Grant of License SOUNDCLOUD does not have any ownership rights in USER’s Content. After posting your Content on, through or in connection with the Services, you continue to retain any such rights that you may have in your Content, subject to the limited license SOUNDCLOUD requires so that it can perform the Service for its users: 1. By posting Content to the Website, to the extent required to enable the performance of the Services, USER grants SOUNDCLOUD and its successors and assigns and other users of the SOUNDCLOUD Services a limited worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid up, license to use, copy, transmit or otherwise distribute, publicly perform, digitally perform, publicly display, and/or otherwise make USER’s Content available to other users of SOUNDCLOUD’s Website and Services. 2. This license does not grant SOUNDCLOUD the right to sell USER’s Content or otherwise distribute it outside of SOUNDCLOUD's Website or Services, provided however, that streaming of Content on third party Websites via embedded widgets or the SOUNCLOUD API or similar tools (“Linked Services”) shall not be deemed a distribution outside of SOUNDCLOUD’s Website or Service. 3. USER may set further restrictions to the licenses granted under Subsections 1 to 3 of this Section at any time in the track settings, including but not limited to the restriction of the distribution of Content via Linked Services, or by marking Content “private”. 4. The license granted under Subsections 1 to 3 will terminate after USER removes the Content from the Website. Notwithstanding the foregoing, USER understands and agrees that once Content is distributed to a Linked Service, SOUNDCLOUD is not obligated to delete or ask other users or a Linked Service to delete that Content, and therefore that Content may continue to appear and be used indefinitely." So afaics they don't claim anything. It's a moot point, though, since their terms also include I don't see any problem here, I also don't see the relation with CC licensed content. But I'm in no way a legal expert so if I got things mixed up please let me know :) Best, Jeremy
