A good reason to boycott Teenage Engineering (www.youtube.com)

A recent copyright action taken by Teenage Engineering against Florian Pilz's "Bad Gear" ‪@AudioPilz‬ channel exposes a dangerous precedent lurking in the license agreement buried inside Teenage Engineering's materials: They have severe restrictions on exactly how you can use their devices in your published music. Unless you comply with their licensing restrictions, they could actually have a copyright claim against you, your music or your performances! In this video I expose what is going on, and how to avoid legal issues.

Just to correct the post, AudioPilz said on Patreon That TE Copyright Strike His Video because he used a promotional video clip from them and not because from using a sample/synth from them, but that still is unacceptable from TE. Just to put my point: I always hated their "boutique" hipster overpriced products and will never buy anything from them.

I’m still pretty wary of a synth company wielding DMCA strikes. I’ve already had my music claimed by DMCA trolls and it just makes me not want to post on YT or TikTok anymore. Their products are for sampling. If they abuse their samples then I’ll go elsewhere.
