Apple Loops Copyrights

Haha! I immediately recognised it, as I have also used that as the basis for an instrumental song a few years ago. I've never uploaded it - until I read your post just now - but not because of copyrights concerns; I just wasn't happy with the sound of the rythm section.
The conditions for using Apple loops are VERY clear: you can freely use them in new arrangements, or even completely standalone, and they are fully free of copyrights.

The article says Garageband, but it also applies to Logic Pro.

Using royalty-free loops in GarageBand with commercial work - Apple Support

I think what has happened here is that some software detected this. I have once gotten a notice from Soundcloud because the title of my song matched that of a movie ("Goobey to all that"). They swiftly retracted it and blamed it on the software.

I found this old topic about an issue much like yours:
Google Groups

The fact that that topic stopped in 2013 is probably a good sign. Angry people keep posting, relieved people go on with whatever was interrupted.

Summary: if worst comes to worst: you are within your rights and they are not. I'm not a lawyer, but if the case would even be admitted to court, you will win.

Here's my use of those loops. The lead vocals are also Apple loops:

Eh, you must have misread. It very explicitly says you can use the content royalty free. The exceptions are listed at the end. The use by this OP is not listed as such an exception.

"…individual Sample Content assets may not be commercially or otherwise distributed on a standalone basis, nor may they be repackaged in whole or in part as audio samples, clipart, music beds, sound effects, sound files, sound libraries, stock animation, or similar assets."

For what it's worth, this is what I found on Apple's site about this... Logic Pro X and MainStage 3: Using the included royalty-free content in commercial works - Apple Support

I thought they were pretty much royalty free for all use too, but that seems to indicate not.

Correction on my post: They cannot claim copyright, because Apple has the copyright. I conflated copyright with them being royalty-free, which is a different thing. Though similar. The end result is the same: you are in your rights, they are wrong.

Agree. I thought it was conflicting, but wasn't sure if I was supposed to read it as just putting the audio with a video as a music bed and that wasn't allowed if you didn't alter it. I didn't think that made sense, but so often lawyers don't make sense to us engineers. 😉

Given the link you posted it makes me feel better about my use and agree it's as you say, royalty free. Just don't put it out there and try to claim as your own essentially. Although at least one VP of the USA managed to get away with it!

Thanks for that!

I like the non-legalese interpretation at the end of your link better. The link I found did't say that. The music bed comment is what made me second guess that.

It can be tricky, QED my own correction... 🙂

Hmm, not so much 'curious' as 'lazy' and 'dishonest', I would say.
