So, 10 days ago I uploaded a song on this website, which was the first song I made and therefore my first submission, but a copyright infringement for these songs was detected :
"嵐の中の航海" by Ryo Matsushima Music
"Ebenezer Ó Ceallaigh Suite - Voyage" by Bdrg
Since I didn't use these songs in any way, I filed an appeal, which was closed 4 days later, without changing anything. I'm pretty sure I didn't close it myself.
I then tried to reupload the same song 5 days ago (I didn't know that it was a bad idea), but again, a copyright infringement was detected, but this time with only the second song. I filed another appeal, and once again it got closed without changing anything (and I didn't close it myself either), except that now I can't even upload any audio file anymore.

Since then, I read the rules related to the submissions (I know that I should have done it earlier, but again I'm pretty new and I didn't think this kind of situation would happen), where I learned that if a third copyright infringement was detected, I'd be banned. And I don't want that to happen, obviously, so I'm trying to get some help here.

Here's a link to the song I wanted to upload (I believe it's not advertisement in this situation. And I know it's not great, I'm just a beginner), in order to prove that it has nothing to do with the other two songs, except of course the genre. I'd be happy if anyone could help me.

Also, another thing. Even if my song is very different from the original song by Symphony of Specters, it's a remix of this song. So technically, I should have the author's consent. Therefore I sent a private message to them, but like, they don't exist anymore, it'll probably take a lot of time until someone answers me, if it ever happens. Could I just upload it nonetheless, knowing that both their song and mine (if I somehow manage to upload it) are Royalty-free, that I'll send the authors a message telling them to just contact me if they want me to delete it, and that my music is really different than the original ? If it's not the case, well, I won't do it, it's not a big deal.

That's it, thank you if you can help me. I hope it's understandable, too.

You're upset that one of your songs was flagged by our scanning program, and want to come ask about it. To consolidate all the little threads which float in Where is/How to and Audio forums, we've created a collective spot to dump your grief.

To keep things moving along, make sure you have done the following FIRST:

If you meet the above criteria AND it has been a few days since you filed the appeal (greater than 3), post your case here and we'll look into it.

Keep in mind, we are sorting through all the appeals manually which takes time to do properly for all parties involved. This process can be hampered by not providing supporting material at the outset.

Be polite.

The auto-checker applies to unscouted users. Tom scouted you, so you shouldn't get any grief from the machine.

Rules still apply :)

But, this track is NOT copyrighted: it is not available on digital stores (Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) and was distributed freely to all comers. I want the moderators to talk to me about this topic

Hello, I did the goof move and closed the appeal. Can I fix this somehow? Thank you much!!!

I even left a link to official group in the description of track "The Wishhouse by Syeet Endy" (https://vk.com/sunriseovernight) . And my appeal about copyright was closed for no reason.
