hmm...
I'm getting the feeling that OCR is "losing its innocence" as a community. Not sure why I haven't thought that before, but this whole rights of ownership mumbo jumbo makes it seem like you're no longer doing this for fun, but for... Well, it can't be for making profit, can it? Maybe OCR is getting too political, or maybe "ethical" is the right word.
I'm fine with you distributing my song, but maybe out of fairness give other artists a chance to remove their song(s) before this policy gets formalized, if they don't agree with it [e.g. Luiza]. Zircon tells me over and over again that "these policies already existed" but I sure didn't know that! Go ahead with this plan, but my gut's telling me this site will lose something precious and important as it gains more business-like properties. Maybe it's just my own personal evolution, but it's like VG remixing is no longer just a fun hobby. I'd like to think this is just a small thing, but it's all part of a larger idea, right? I have an idea what goes on behind the scenes, and of your plans for the future, and I see this as a small stepping stone towards that future. Of course, some people are undoubtedly not going to follow you there. I think Luiza's frustration is well-founded, some people don't want their songs owned by anyone else at all, in any small or large part, and that's understandable. So I'm going to again recommend you give the artists who disagree a chance to uhh... have another exodus. Unless you have another more well-thought-out plan.
edit: HERE I AM BLATHERING ON AND ON and I hardly ever remix VG music anymore
