The link mentioned above has been removed from my blog (I wonder how much will get removed if they do a retroactive search through this bad boy). I assume this removal is because I posted Rick Ross's song, "Mafia Music" (where he takes a shot at 50 Cent and laces the beat quite nicely) or Magnificent without (gulp) Rick's permission (lol). Make that Def Jam's permission. Oh well! This must suck for Rick Ross's promotional effort for his upcoming album, Deeper Than Rap. It's people like moi that put this guys music on the InterWeb and help him with some e-promotion and lookie here, the good ole powers-that-be snatch it right down off the kid's blog. It sure is hard out here for a correctional officer.
Or maybe it's the video I posted of 50's
Back to my original theory/thought...Who would have thought I'd earn my blogger stripes off of a friggin' RICK ROSS song (of all people/artists)?!?!?!
And you know I'm going to be checking http://www.chillingeffects.org/ regularly until I see something about this blog up there.
Congratulations are in order...

This bothers me for some reason. The aforementioned posts that you refer to in your blog, were first posted elsewhere, like YouTube, etc. So, why would they then contact Blogger, and then Blogger contact you? Why not go straight to the actual source that infringed, not the third, or fourth party? This is silly, and yet another reason why the music industry is losing in this intellectual property war they've begun online.
You could very well take down the vids/songs and they would still be up on another site. Personally if the industry wasn't so greedy, people wouldn't have to download, etc. I digress, but congrats on earning your stripes, even if it is off of some malarchy from the industry.
I agree with you that the content was posted elsewhere first and not by moi.
Congrats on being the first person to use malarchy in a comment.
