They dont allow it on copyrighted music.
Do they have a copyright on their noise?
How are these audio tracks not copyright violations?
Sorry, I tried it on a (typical) copyrighted song.
What is stopping me from using this to illegally distribute copyrighted music?
How would “others” have the right to release music they didn’t make?
Take a popular song, change the rhythm and timing and wait if you get a copyright claim.
It's their performance of the music that is copyright, not the music itself.
For music copyright is split in 2 types: composition and recording. The copyright on the composition is probably expired, but on a recording most likely isn't. The automated system most likely claims it's a copy of a copyrighted recording. Since it's a popular piece, it can be hard to tell recordings apart.Note that the composition might also still have a copyright because it's not the original composition but a derived work, but that seems unlikely in this case.
Recordings are copyrighted.I don't think anyone's suggesting that the Winstons own the pattern, just that they deserve more compensation for this particular rendering of it.
