I’m working on a bootleg remix (i.e. a remix without permission from the rights holder) right now, which is something that I haven’t really done before. Not trying to monetize it, I don’t have a large following anyway and I haven’t even come up with an artist name I actually like using (I’m not going to call myself DJ Rumschlumpel, but TBH that one would actually be better than the ones I’ve used before).

Anyone knowledgable about where to post it without getting in trouble? Obviously a bootleg remix is by definition illegal, but lots of producers are posting them anyway on various sites like Soundcloud. How do I minimize the risk of getting into trouble? Also I kinda don’t want to post to Soundcloud, it’s enshittyfying.

TBH my best experience with posting my tracks in general was on the Ardour forum, but I currently use Bitwig and AFAIK they don’t really have a standard forum.

For what it’s worth, I live in Germany.

    Damn, I wouldn’t have thought that Soundcloud was the platform that checks for proper licensing nowadays, rather than YouTube or Spotify. At least your yt-video is nearly two years old and you haven’t been taken down or sued yet.

    Seems like I’ll have to pick up some basic video editing skills, YouTube seems like the best platform out of the ones you use that has some discoverability (but still very little).
