Wait it doesn't take your account down after 3?
For actual strikes, yes. For song takedowns, no.
You need three strikes, yes, but I wouldn't be too worried. I don't think it's an automated system like YouTube, so you likely won't have an issue - you're only likely to have issues if it gets really popular.
However, there are tons of soundclown accounts that are huge and never get touched. It's probably far less likely that a soundclown will get taken down than say, a remix.
Sorry, but you are completely wrong. For starters, it is an automated system, as I said I have had over 6 versions of the same song taken down within 30 seconds of uploaded. Secondly, it is far MORE likely for a soundclown to be taken down than a remix coming from experience. Soundclowns take 2 nearly unedited songs and puts them together, a remix modifies one or more songs. Big name soundclowners can't avoid the system, they can just upload songs that aren't recognized by the system. That is why Cryptrik, The Meme Machine, and many others have talked about it before. This is also the reason why the 10 mashup challenge was made, to see how far you can get with just royalty free music as a protest to the copyright system.
I wasn't asking how the system worked, I was asking how other people get around it. Every time I try to bypass it, it hardly works, and lately has only worked after butchering the song entirely with white noise or pitch shifting that sometimes doesn't work entirely. I would quit soundcloud entirely if it wasn't for other people's clowns or the amount of traffic it gets compared to other websites.
