SoundCloud pulls controversial contract terms after Verge report
SoundCloud has rewritten the contract for its self-monetization program, called SoundCloud Premier, following The Verge’s report that the deal was unfair to artists. The new contract is currently being served to artists signing up for Premier, and it will be emailed to those who have already joined Premier at an unspecified future time. The Verge has obtained a copy of the new agreement from artist and DJ duo Golf Clap and embedded it below.
SoundCloud announced the changes in a blog post titled “Clarifying the SoundCloud Premier agreement,” states that SoundCloud has “seen feedback that some language in the original program agreement was too broad, and we want to avoid any doubt around your rights and how we run the program.”
