I am not saying the copyright system is flawless but... there are laws that protect artists from these types of situations
(as long as the artist were careful enough with their tracks) I ain't no lawyer myself but i have read the important bits regarding this topic many years ago in the past. Perhaps you can talk to a copyright lawyer, they can tell you all about it.
I don't quite understand why our own subconscious mind will be able to ''manipulate oneself'' into making a track...?
If by that you mean, you have a track or tune in mind that you know for sure you've heard before and you're afraid of it copying an existing track, then once again... there is no reason to be afraid. Being sued about something like that is the last thing that could happen. Not really the first or even the fifth thing that could happen.
So, with the subconscious theory, our minds absorb a lot of what we hear, and a lot of what we see without us knowing it all the time. It's like storing information into a computer and all of sudden it pops up later and you're left thinking... 'hmmm, where'd that come from?' This could be from years ago. So, basically my point is that we've consciously heard tons of songs before, but may not always remember hearing all of them because we've listened to so many.
With music, our subconscious mind manipulates us by giving us a melody to write without us remembering where it came from. We just think that it's brand new, and that we've never done it before.

Releasing my music on Soundcloud was one of the best decisions i have ever made in my life, seriously. Before... I used to make music as a hobby and then thought of becoming a content creator and said to myself ''hey i love doing music and already have way over 100 tracks... why let them go to waste, why don't I just share them online? perhaps if i hit my niche, i can even make a few bucks out of this!''
2 years ago i got contacted by a legit DJ who loved one of my tracks on Soundcloud... fast forward a few months ago... we ended up collaborating! now he has a remix of one of my tracks that he told me he will play it live in one of his events! Crazy stuff... one of my tracks being played live now is a possibility. All because i released this one track i didn't even think too much of and look what happened!
Not only will I receive free advertising on my track but also an insane opportunity to reach a wider audience.
So it's all about giving it a try, not thinking about what bad 'could' come out of it but rather 'this attempt i'm making will lead me somewhere if i give it a try' you never know what could happen.
If any problems show up, you fight back. If not, then great... you continue.
This is great advice, my man... I appreciate it! I just bring this discussion up because I'm currently working on a few songs, and I'm strongly considering on submitting them to a music producer on YouTube, Curtiss King TV. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of him before or not. Anyways, every Monday, he does this thing called "critique my beats live", where you get live feedback on your beats or songs.
I'm thinking about copywriting my music before I submit them because people in the chat box might be thinking "oh, this sounds fire... let's see if I can rip it off!"
But, I'm glad you've managed to successfully turn your hobby into profits and collabs. What's your Soundcloud name, YouTube, etc? I'm thinking about going on Spotify.
