As a remix artist myself, my experience from youtube (which I believe have similar deals in place) is that rights owners will tolerate (i.e. monetize) straight copies of their work, but many remixes, mashups and cutups get blocked. Which is sad because I feel the opposite would be more beneficial to pop culture as a whole (i.e. more interaction, variation and interpretation, less passive consumption of blockbuster hits).

The content I suppose is interesting if a bit pretentious, but the voice over is like nails on a chalkboard.

I wonder how many times that has been removed, blocked, or otherwise interfered with by Big Music.
