You can't just post a story like that and not link the song!

Personally, my main usage of Shazam is for identifying vaporwave samples. Often all you have to do is throw the song in Audacity, tweak the speed a bit, and Shazam it.




There are entire albums on Spotify which are full songs of 80s pop classics, played at a slower speed, then uploaded as a new album from another artist.


Interesting, have any of them been hit with copyright violations?

I ask because I like to create bootlegs (basically homebrew remixes, these are substantial re-imaginings of the original track) and would like to put them on Spotify, but am worried about copyright issues and how that might affect posting original music.


haha Sorry, I updated the post. Didn't think anyone would care about that part lol
