I'm sorry that I'm in my pajamas in this video, but a DJ friend of mine had a question about why his mashup was taken down on Soundcloud. This is my world of expertise, so I hopped out of bed to quickly give him a crash course on DJ music legal issues in the digital music space. Specifically, I talk about how copyright policing services use automated copyright detection and preset business rules to enforcement the will of rights-holders on user generated content (UGC) platforms that must abide by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Note that there are several variations to the concept that I am teaching regarding how copyright policing is eliminated from platform to platform. Whereas YouTube has its own internal system, other platforms hire companies such as Audible Magic to provide the backend solution.

Feel free to ask me questions in the comments or find me on socials media and Clubhouse @daeboganmusic.
