Remember The Beastles, the amazing Beastie Boys/Beatles mashup? Hope you got a copy on your hard-drive because the RIAA’s gone on a totally predictable jihad against a piece of delightful, noncommercial creativity.
Tim sez, “RIAA and Universal are pulling dj BC’s Beastles across the web. Radio Clash has gotten a nastygram from the RIAA, Mega has pulled a mirror and also the Soundcloud has been disabled. In fact on his Facebook page, dj BC has announced pulling down the links tonight! It’s amazing that in this day and age that a non-commercial fair-use project is still being stomped on by the blue meanies. Looking to see how I should respond…but also looking for a new host in Russia, although how that is better post-PRISM I’m not sure :-/”
Sorry, Tim, Russia just passed its own SOPA on steroids.
