I would like to explain better what is happening here and I hope the moderator will NOT delete this thread because this discussion is important.
There's no problem to take an existing style, tweak it and make it "yours" - I truly mean it when I say this. In fact, when I explain copyright issues to people I literally tell them that in order for a style to not be exclusive anymore all you need to do is modify it a bit and Done! You can share it and do whatever you want with it. In fact, I can guarantee you rene1242 ! that if you would have started by saying that you modified some style with your flavor and would like to share them, Members, including those who criticized your content, would ONLY thank you for sharing. I've seen many members post styles that are clearly based on other styles and no one gets the "heat" that you received. The problem here is your presentation and the way you are coming forward as if you are offering something exclusive and unique and you must understand that some members went through thousands of styles in their Musical journey and are familiar with the backbone of these styles.
This comes across disingenuous to them and some will make the comment out of principle. Nothing personal against you. They don't appreciate someone who seems to offer something he did not create from scratch in order to gain something else. In your case, you clearly wish for people to go on youtube and maybe subscribe and basically establish some sort of relationship (maybe for a potential sale?) - You could have just posted the links to download here right? So there's obviously an interest in something. Which again, is 100% ok but in your case you portrayed it to be something exclusive which there was no need to do. I suggest next time, be clear and honest about your intentions. I'm sure you are a great person and no one judges you. If the styles were not originally created by you, Humbly state that! Like that no one will comment - I promise. You can even take styles that are old and sale them if you wish (they do it on eBay all the time and some idiots actually fall for it) - Just state it. Some members are very smart and have a seniority in the music community and in this forum and simply fed up
Sincerely
