Dimitar Nalbantov: what happens when someone uses your music?

What happens when someone uses your music, allegedly passing it off as their own? Well Dimitar Nalbantov ended up in a similar situation.

The background: kvraudio | Cuckos

The initial plaintive plea

Dimitar Nalbantov:

A guy used my backing tracks songs and put them like his own art with different new names!

The protagonist response:

Kelly Mitchell:

I've never claimed to be anything more than a guitarist that plays to backing tracks (legally offered for free at Dimitar's website and other sites).

For you to offer these backing tracks, even going as far to say that the users are welcome to post to youtube etc, then to slander me here is reprehensible.

I'll remove the 3 tracks I spent hours and hours recording.

You should quit offering backing tracks Dimitar, if this is how you react to them being implemented

.

Moral of the story... I suggest you add the following to your mp3 files to cover you from possible lifting and reuse.

"You cannot copy or reproduce any backing tracks from me except for your own personal use and you cannot alter, modify, publish, distribute, sell, broadcast, transmit, create derivative works from,or edit any backing tracks from me without my expressed written permission."
