Copyright problems with Soundcloud as I used Apple Loops only for my own song

In my songs I usually use Apple loops in the background but, for one song and this one only, I had an idea based on Apple loops only.

My idea was to sing on the loops with a melody and lyrics I created.

The problem is that SoundCloud doesn't see it that way and finds it similar to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uqccZNAHhc

which it is. If you listen to that track it is the same as mine but without all the vocals I added. Only made with Apple loops.

As for the copyright thing, as I understand what Apple says, they own the copyright on the loops https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201808 but these loops are royalty -free loops so we are free to ouse them.

For example in France, there is a famous singer that just took some Apple loops, just as they were, added vocals and released it as a new song which was a hit. People said it was not fair to do so but she had all the legal rights to do that. And she did just that.

For the sake of clarification, let's say I did the same thing.

Hi WD,

Just to let you know, you were right. I just got my track back on SoundCloud !

The SoundCloud team just sent me an email.

In the next few days, I’m going to try to release this same track on my YouTube account. We’ll see what happens then !

Thanks again for the advice.

Thank you for your answer Wilddrums !

Actually it is the automatic identification tool from SoundCloud that identifies it similar to another song and... they are right as the previous person just put online the same Apple loops as I did, period.

But the thing is, I did more than that (I mean just put the Apple Loops online as the other one did).

Based on those loops I invented a whole song with melody, lyrics. I did much more to create something new than the previous person.

Problem is that everything is automatic here. There seems little chance that they are going to think more than one second about my arguments. Such a shame and not really fair.

Oh yes, that's a good idea !

I am going to report that right away.

Don't know what it will do in the end but I can at least try.

Thanks again and if you have any more idea, feel free to tell me.

The message says :

" Our automatic content protection system has detected that one of your tracks might contain copyrighted content.

As a result, your track has been removed from your profile for the time being. Please have a look at the details below and get in touch with us if you believe there’s been a mistake.

Here's what our system has found:

It looks like your track might contain or be a copy of

"All Things New" by Christian Gael, which is owned by Christian Gael in certain territories. "

It is the same track he published on YouTube that I mentioned in my last post.

In my SoundCloud account, I filed a form and it is now stated under "Disputed copyright claims" that "This dispute is currently under review."

Maybe...

I informed them the same way I did in this post, so we'll see.

And, I filed a form to let Apple know as well.

Anyway, I'll let you know.

Thanks for you time.
