My post titled Otis Redding has been altered following a DMCA notice of copyright violation I received on Tuesday.
If you click on one of my links to get to The Vinyl Villian site, you'll find its been removed for repeated copyright violations. Regular readers of that Blog will know that it was mostly out of print 12" singles or such like.
My post about Otis Redding included a link to one of his best songs. My intention was to share one song from an outstanding artist that would hopefully encourage the readers to seek his work out. Just like when I ( and I'm sure you as well ) used to share cassettes and CDs of my favourite songs with friends and work colleagues. I'm not going to get on a high horse and rant. It was a copyright violation after all. But whose? Otis has been dead for 40+years now. Who is so intent on milking every last drop out of his legacy that they can't allow a small blog with 1 follower and less than 50 thousand page views over a 4 year period to showcase one of modern music's greatest vocal talents?
