Beyond synth world, Youtube has seen many copyright strikes/takedowns. Such episodes have garnered lots of mixed reactions.
It’s about perspective - imagine working so hard to build up a platform or having spent so much time to produce a video, only to have it taken down due to [insert reason], compared to having your work literally being “pirated”.
Scott did mentioned sample/audio use under fair play several times over, so I’d take the spirit of what he was trying to convey, and not isolate-attack “gaps” of his assessment.
What could be the motivation behind the request from TE - to mitigate loss of revenue, a spit-for-spat for [insert reason] or simply just being the company that [insert person] know.
Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Think Behringer keeping to what’s legal and Nintendo suing the pants off everything that touches its branding. TE fanboys to the rescue then. I will say that I had two pocket operators died after two years of moderate use, and of course the Medieval predecessor #fadergate had to land on my unit. End of the day, it’s just business.
TLDR; vote with your wallet to make TE thrive or go away.
