I'm unsure whether this is the right section to put this in, but here we go. My question is if any of you know of examples of producers getting into trouble for putting bootlegs (unauthorized remixes) up on the internet? - Not selling, just soundcloud and maybe pass it on to a couple of other DJ's. By trouble i of course mean legally, not just having your bootleg removed - anyone?

coki got in mad trouble for his boot of macarena

wasn't a fan of the dub, probly would have bought it if he'd kept it on. if he'd been threatened with a lawsuit then fair enough tho

it was a free dl online w/ the vocal so i have both lol

*wrong thread*k

But do you know of any examples where it wasn't released in any way - simply floating around the internet? As you might have guessed i am sitting with one that i would like to put out there, but i am unsure whether it's a good idea or not?

Cool, the general rule most producers grasp is that classics (usually the first releases on a rated label) shouldn't be touched. Obviously there's people who will bootleg the whole dmz back catalogue to boost their own name but you can't do much about that. There's a tonne of examples but the only recent ones that come to mind are

Goldie slating A1 Bassline for touching 'True Romance' (rightly so)
Shy not being a fan of anyone who touches 'Original Nuttah' (someone tweeted a moombahton bootleg to him )

If it's someone from this or a similar sound then send it to whoever the original belongs to first (everyone's easy to get a hold of nowadays and most people are safe). If it's a bootleg of some chart hit or some major label success though then fuck it tbh, as long as you're not selling it, do as you please.

goldie slates/(throws down stairs) anyone who touches any of his tunes.

Some bootleg sellers had been caught by police because violated rights of artists'. Actually it's okay to record bootlegs and exchange them with other collectors, but do not sell them.

I believe it was released by this guy in some kind of free bootleg album:
Soundcloud
Don't think i got it either

Does that mean that nobody knows anything about anyone getting into trouble over a bootleg on the cloud and in the selection of other DJ's??

why are you fishing for examples and how many do you need ffs? everyone's different so their reactions will differ.
