SoundCloud query

[Uncle Fiesta]

Many times, in this section of the forum, I see that someone has uploaded a Shadows track or similar, and clicking on it takes me to a Soundcloud page.

However I was always of the opinion that Soundcloud was for original works only, not covers. To quote:
"you can only upload tracks to your account that you own the copyrights for or have the appropriate licenses or permissions to share"

So has someone found a way to get round this?

I'm not sure about that. I loaded something onto SoundCloud that included a bit of commercial copyright music, only for it to be rejected immediately for exactly that reason!
I've noticed that YouTube can be a bit inconsistent, sometimes allowing some commercial music on and sometimes not. Maybe both it and SoundCloud are using similar, slightly unreliable automated software?

Aha. Thanks Jim. Here is the experiment that SoundCloud rejected!
