Error 403 Forbidden on Soundcloud

[ghost]

Hello, I had apparently misunderstood one thing about the guidelines and my post got closed.
I fixed it now, let me know if anything else is required, Thank you.

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2016.05.01

And I have:

• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of the issue?

• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I have used youtube-dl to download from a playlist on soundcloud. The playlist contains 238 items of various sizes. After downloading 38 items, I received an error 403 forbidden.
I then switched to another wifi in a different location altogether and tried to resume the download at item 38, with the same error. At item 39, with the same error.
I am unable to download from that soundcloud playlist, even when I use the personal credentials of the person who made that list.

The command line I have tried using are (one on each line):

youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 39
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38 --extract-audio
youtube-dl https://soundcloud.com/evurutin/likes --playlist-start 38 -u (that person's username) -p (that person's password)

And in all cases I obtain the same error

Nothing from the database here shows me anything useful about what I can do to solve the issue.
I hope I am writing this correctly. Please let me know if any additional information is needed.
Thank you

Can you watch it in browser when you receive 403 with youtube-dl in the first place?

It seems like the song is greyed out and unavailable in browser. I should have double checked that, because I used to load it fine before.
So considering the song isn't made available anymore on that playlist, it is not a bug from youtube-dl but a normal response from the site.
Sorry for bothering you, the problem can be considered as solved.
