You're right that the law has never allowed for things such a mix tapes or remixes, it's pretty black and white about that. But really, how far does this go?

The article mentions that people singing popular songs on YouTube are being censored as well. Who exactly is benefiting from this? Would I be any less likely to purchase the real song because I heard a teenager's lame cover on YouTube?

I think we need to have a good look at fair use and what it means in this day and age.
