Soundcloud copyright infringement

[onelove]

I got my first infringement today.. needless to say I am now uploading test files to a test account before posting them.

Has anyone ever had any success fighting one of these? I add disclaimers to all of my songs but the way SC worded the "dispute form" it made it seem very unlikely that I would win. They also tried to scare me off with talk of "further legal account and account suspension/termination".

Anyone with experience on this?

I wrote them a nice long e-mail quoting the Fair Use Act in section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976, stating that my mashups were my own work; not for profit; educational, critical and promotional work; copyrighted work not used in it's entirety and commentary is added; doesn't alter the value or accessibility of the work to others purchasing or paying royailties to use it; etc; etc. I also questioned their hypocrasy in deleting my account when many thousands of other artists and tracks remained containing sampled copyright material, and questioned their ability to turn a blind eye when it suited them.

Might have some luck with that route?
