My music was previously published on SoundCloud and Bandcamp under the CC BY 3.0 license (until 2021). However, it was frequently reuploaded to YouTube as "No Copyright Music" and even distributed under false names on platforms like Spotify, so I deleted those accounts in 2022.
Since I had also uploaded MP3 files to IMSLP, I requested deletion of my IMSLP page. However, the request was declined on the grounds that all submissions are reviewed and approved by administrators, making them "secondary use", and that CC licenses are irrevocable.
I then asked for the removal of my credit in accordance with the CC license. In response, the administrator proposed using a pseudonym, which I accepted. However, I had to manually edit the PDF files myself to reflect the name change.
I believe this policy reflects an overly broad interpretation of the intent of the Creative Commons license.
私の楽曲は、以前 SoundCloud や Bandcamp で CC BY 3.0 ライセンスのもと公開していました（〜2021年）。しかし YouTube で「No Copyright Music」として無断転載されたり、変名で Spotify 等に配信されるケースが続き、2022年にそれらのアカウントを削除しました。
IMSLP にも MP3 を投稿していたため、ページの削除を依頼しましたが、「投稿は管理者の承認による二次的利用であり、CC ライセンスは取り消せない」との理由で却下されました。
その後、ライセンスに従ってクレジットの削除を求めたところ、運営者より偽名への変更提案があり、これを受け入れました。ただし、PDF のクレジットは自ら修正対応することになりました。
