I just hear so many loops and samples nowadays, that's it difficult to find original masterpieces. So, you never stress over what might happen if you release a song (that ends up being a hit) and somebody (who's already done it before) hears it and sues you?
No not at all. I don't stress out over thinking that ever when I make my music.
Hypothetically, let's say I release a track tomorrow that... becomes a huge hit on YouTube for example. Many people use it on memes and stuff (Side note: which I hope so that'll be awesome xD) which then makes the track more popular and so on. And then... a huge multi-billion music record company comes for my head, demanding blood and money saying
''YOU TOTALLY MADE A TRACK THAT KIND OF SOUNDS LIKE THIS FROM ONE OUR... SORT OF PRODUCERS THAT WE OUTSOURCED ON THIS ONE PROJECT WE.... SORT OF TOOK PART OF!! GIVE US A TRILLION DOLLARS!!!!! ACNEUWNCENUEBEU''
let's say that happens... well my music is being released under the Creative Commons license. This means I am not making any profit with the track. Additionally, this means it has to be used, shared, modified, or even tweaked alike by any other producer or users under the same license, therefore, making whatever 'song' or track that might sound even a few decibels like any commercial or even non-commercial track, be a remix (depending on the case) or ''work inspired by (blank)''
So me being sued over that is waaay off any possibilities. Them trying to ''take down'' a track that was released under the Creative Commons license without any lucrative ends... is a sue that will just go nowhere, legally speaking.
Basically trying to take down something that is free of copyright and literally not affecting them (the music record company) in any way, shape, or form is just not something a huge music record company will go out of their way to do.
And let's be real... a huge music record going after a small YouTube video one-off hit made by a random, underground independent music producer, not affiliated with any major discography company will be 100% a PR disaster. That'll be a horrible look for them. Which is not the goal for most companies.
