Treating this like it's a legally-based copyright infringement accusation is, with all due respect, barking up the wrong tree.

He posted an Aaron Copland piece and Boosey and Hawkes issued the notice. It is exactly the right tree because

is exactly what happened as I was able to show.

Had anyone else been in contact, you would be pretty much correct — but that isn't what happened.

In his original post, the OP wrote:

Within an hour I received a message from SoundCloud saying that Summit Brass (which google reveals to be an USA brass band) were making a copyright claim against my arrangement and therefor SoundCloud have taken it down.

This claim doesn't appear to have originated from Boosey and Hawkes. Nor is it evidence of actual copyright infringement in the eyes of the law. This "claim" is simply the result of an automated content match, as I explained in my previous post.

The only way this becomes a legal issue is if Boosey and Hawkes threatens the OP with a copyright infringement lawsuit and takes him to court. And unless I missed something, this hasn't happened.

As far as I can tell, this issue is confined to OP's upload to Soundcloud and nothing more.
