They don't blow up they don't get anybody sued, they just fizzle because they don't get exposure. I liked Vega's story because they worked out something that was good for everybody involved. Vega got more exposure than ever before, DNA got recognized, the label got their cut. How often does that happen? BlueBrat – you’re right – but most illegal remixes probably go nowhere.

Anyone, including famous musicians and producers, can easily do this, hell a kid with pirated software can even do it, and throw it out on the net, let alone getting a whitelabel produced (not that this is important nowadays). How about a comparison article where a remixer gets pwned by the group he remixed, just for journalistic-sake? What about all the mashups going on nowadays, where does this fall in? Not trying to start a war but realistically things will happen regardless of if its right, correct, morally good, etc. for the one reason that someone can; better or for worse.
