A recent copyright action taken by Teenage Engineering against Florian Pilz’s “Bad Gear” @AudioPilz channel exposes a dangerous precedent lurking in the license agreement buried inside Teenage Engineering’s materials: They have severe restrictions on exactly how you can use their devices in your published music. Unless you comply with their licensing restrictions, they could actually have a copyright claim against you, your music or your performances! In this video I expose what is going on, and how to avoid legal issues.
I’m still pretty wary of a synth company wielding DMCA strikes. I’ve already had my music claimed by DMCA trolls and it just makes me not want to post on YT or TikTok anymore. Their products are for sampling. If they abuse their samples then I’ll go elsewhere.
Right? They could have easily reached out to him to deal with this if it’s genuinely just about the clip being used.
Copystriking a popular creator in the audio production video category is bafflingly easy to identify as an action that will yield a backlash. Very very poor judgement on display
