Blogger DMCA takedowns



Google has been deleting complete posts from my blog because of copyright infringement. Not a warning, not a chance to remove the links, but a complete removal of the whole post.

Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue, I have seen a couple of my favorite blogs (le shake, and palms out sounds, electro retro) complaining about this, so it's not like I am totally crazy.

The songs I had taken down with the post were the following:

  • 101 - Lo-Fi-Fnk - City
  • 102 - Calvin Harris - Colours
  • 103 - Kanye West - Flashing Lights (Diplo Remix)
  • 104 - Yelle - Joie (Murki Edit)
  • 105 - Numéro# - Hit Pop (Radio Edit)
  • 106 - Lo-Fi-Fnk - Wake Up
  • 107 - Metronomy - Heartbreaker (Jupiter Remix)
  • 108 - BMX - WAR
  • 109 - Jupiter - Chip
  • 110 - The Twelves - Works For Me
  • 111 - The Ting Tings - Great Dj (7th Heaven Radio Edit)
  • 201 - CSS - Move
  • 202 - The Ting Tings - Fruit Machine
  • 203 - Black Kids - Look At Me (When I Rock Wichoo)
  • 204 - New Young Pony Club - The Bomb
  • 205 - Cryptic - Pin Me Down
  • 206 - The Black Ghosts - Repetition Kills You (Ft. Damon Albarn)
  • 207 - Does That Offend You, Yeah - Being Bad Feels Pretty Good
  • 208 - Headman - Come On
  • 209 - LCD Soundsystem - Time To Get Away
  • 210 - MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix)
  • 211 - Mr. Oizo - Cut Dick
  • 212 - Hadouken! - Girls (Murki Rip Edit)
  • 213 - 3OH!3 - I Can't Do It Alone
  • 214 - The Shoes - Let's Go
  • 215 - Shiny Toy Guns - Le Disko
  • 301 - AutoKratz - Stay The Same (Edit)
  • 302 - Midfield General - Disco Sirens (Feat. Vila)
  • 303 - Streetlife DJs - We Love The Disco Sound (Radio Edit)
  • 304 - Tom Deluxx - Assboxer (The Toxic Avenger Remix)
  • 305 - datA - Aerius Light (Kitsuné Dj Friendly Edit)
  • 306 - FUKKK OFFF - Rave Is King (Discodust Edit)

  • 308 - Health - Triceratops (Acid Girls Remix B)
  • 309 - MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Nite Version)
  • 310 - Digitalism - Taken Away
They were 3 sets of compressed files, but actually I think it was the first one the one that also was deleted from the file servers (I'm looking at you Kanye West) and I think I still have the links for the other 2 somewhere.

At the end of this post you'll find a copy of the mail I got after the ERASSURRRE.
