[78-L] Can't post Beethoven on you tube anymore - what???

[David Lennick]

SoundCloud has also pulled tracks that I've posted which were from 75 year old 
recordings of dead composers because the timings on some titles matched some 
known recent recordings of the same works. They later reinstated the tracks 
(after my protest) but since they were from complete suites, their absence was 
a problem. (As well, I only wanted to share with individuals or a couple of 
groups but SoundCloud seemed wide open to the world so I got rid of it. pCloud 
presents no such problems. I never post on YouTube.)
