Radiohead Allows Unofficial Remix Album
I found this interesting, especially in the context of yesterday's discussion. Apparently, this guy, Amplive, made this entire album, got some really big names on it (Del the Funky Homosapien, Chali2NA), and was planning to release it completely for free online, but didn't ask Radiohead for permission. He got slapped with a cease and desist, but then, after meeting with Radiohead and their management, got to release it anyway and everyone went home happy. This is the first time that I've heard of something like this being solved so easily. I guess that figures, considering that it's Radiohead.
Here's a couple of videos that Amplive made after getting the cease and desist and after the meeting:
Amp's Plea
Amp's Thank You
I'm about halfway through the album now, and I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
