Fellow soundclouders:

Okay, this info may have been out a bit, but:

If you have music on soundcloud, it may very well be listed and downloadable on a scam site known as deregalos . fm (I won't link to it here)

My own music as well as several of my colleagues have their tracks listed and searchable by their names on that 3rd party site. This was done without the consent of us artists of course.

Anyway, protect yourselves and your music. If you have tracks on soundcloud, set them all to private to at least prevent them from being downloaded on the scam/pirate site.

It's sad that people have to do this. And sure, my music is freely downloadable to begin with...but that doesn't mean I want some other schmuck distributing it. >_<

Here's a blurb on Mixsposure about it:

I think there's some info about it on spotify as well.

I've also done some hunting and saw some older info dating back to at least May. I don't know if Soundcloud is in league or cahoots with this or not, so I'm not jumping ship quite yet. However, as I have a client who I am working with, well, I won't be posting their tracks on there. I'll probably switch to something like Reverb Nation or Band Camp. :P
