When trying to get a file I had stored on the above, after having been banned for my 3rd "infringment" of a file that had been on there for 10 years 
"And I Love Her" find that even though they said I was the only one who could access my files, my IP has been blocked. So fun began, logged onto "Dark Web" and created another login, then did a test upload of about a dozen files which included the "Banned File" And I Love Her, yes another message telling me its a copyrighted file and to remove it as my account is now blocked for sharing, so did some Googling and find they, like Youtube are using digital "fingerprinting" of audio files and they dont require to know the title, only the audio sample compared in their database
So have now deleted all files in my "new" account and uploaded the same banned file but as a Zip (WinRar) and now waiting to see if their algorithm can access compressed files. They wont seem to accept "Fair Use for technical criticism" etc as a reason and use a sledgehammer approach to copyright.

PS I only use Soundcloud as my main host but still occasionally use Box.
