Some very good ideas here - I hope envato reads this, if they don’t they are shooting themselves in the foot as this is a major issue that WILL end up with envato getting sued.
Hypothetical situation;
Promotions company comes along and buys a track from an artist on audiojungle (lets call him TheivingTwatMusic) and then uses the track on their project on TV. Little do they know its actually an Avicii track. Spinnin Records or whoever sues Envato as the provider of stolen music for £?million dollars as they have a GREAT legal department and as far as I can see it, it would be an open-and-shut legal case in favour of Spinnin Records. TheivingTwatMusic gets banned from Audiojungle but can’t be located as he just signed up with fake details anyway, but just opens a new account as another name and does the same again… by that time Audiojungle and Envato as a whole could be dead anyway.
Please tell me if im being unrealistic but I can seriously see this happening, if it isn’t already.
ENVATO PLEASE SORT THIS PROBLEM before you get sued out of existance.
An idea to stop these theiving artists who release Martin Garrix tunes or whatever - can’t the reviewers just Shazam them during the review process? If it flags something up just look for the track on Youtube and compare (to weed out false positives) it should be immediately apparent. Or am I missing something here lol
