“Only 10 days after its release, the mash-up album American Edit, which pays tribute to the acclaimed Green Day album American Idiot through some of the best mash-up productions of 2005, was shut down reportedly after received a cease & desist order from Green Day’s label, Warner records, despite the fact that it was released as an internet only release with no commercial gain for the team of mash-up artists involved.
In fact, the only possible profit to be made from the release was a plea for fans who enjoyed the creation to donate to one of three possible charities that Green Day have been known to support.”
Le compagnie discografiche sono ormai in pieno delirio, incapaci di gestire un nuovo mercato multimiliardario, quello della musica online, se non attraverso minaccie legali e rootkit molto meno legali. Il bannerino lo metto con l’intima convinzione che non serve a un cazzo. Questi sono andati, fine. Anche il “mashup” Google Maps/Risiko ha avuto vita breve: la Harsbro, detentrice dei diritti di sfruttamento del gioco in scatola, ha inviato il suo bravo cease & desist, quando chiunque dotato di buon senso si sarebbe fregato le mani per l’insperata pubblicità al gioco (peraltro assai vetusto).
Io nel frattempo ho scaricato Cease & Desist del DJ Morgan Page, album zeppo di musica non autorizzata. Questa è la tracklist:
1. Esthero – “We Are In Need of a Music Revolution” (Intro edit)
2. Coldplay – “White Shadows” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
3. Tegan & Sara – “Walking With a Ghost” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
4. Imogen Heap – “Hide & Seek” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
5. Sam Phillips – “If I Could Write” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
6. The Kills – “Good Ones” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
7. Hiperboreal – “Tijuana For Dummies” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
8. David Bowie – “New Killer Star” (Morgan Page Bootleg Remix)
9. Antone Dvorak – “Symphony ..9″ (Morgan Page Remix)
10. Wax Poetic feat. Norah Jones – “Angels” (Morgan Page Remix)
