On October 8th I saw this post come up after a few angry posts from a remix artist named
Thudner Moose. He had uploaded a remix of
Dada Life's "Rolling Stones T-Shirt" which was taken down from
Soundcloud a few days after it's upload. He then uploaded the remix to a popular sharing website called
Zippy Share. The "zippy" file was subsequently deleted for copyright infringement but the mp3 is now available on various different file share, streaming, and video sites (Google Search: "
thundermoose rolling stones t-shirt mp3"). There have been no subsequent posts relating to any fines of problems because of the infringement and now the remix is all over the internet and easy to find. It looks like large artist-targeted sites like Soundcloud are not doing a very good job of punishing those who don't follow the rules. I am 100% guilty of very similar issues but have never been caught. If it happens before the semester ends I'll be writing a post on that process.
