Music Takedowns

I don’t have a problem with music takedowns. During the four years that I’ve been releasing music, I’ve only gotten 3-4 takedown notices from all distributors, as opposed to the 81 songs I’ve released. Most of them have been from SoundCloud, and they have a lousy algoritm for detecting copyright violations. But one thing that saves them is they do have a resolution mechanism for disputing copyright claims. Apple, on the other hand, has no dispute mechanism. This meanswith Apple, there’s no way to dispute their findings, and if Apple’s algoritm is as bad as that that discovery tool they’ve got, then they get a lot of false positives.
