Links: The Grey Album: Now Only on the Black Market
Posted by James Grimmelmann on Monday, February 16 @ 21:16:36 EST Copyright
Remix artist DJ Danger Mouse -- a man whose very name may well be trademark infringement -- had the inspired idea of mashing together Jay-Z's "The Black Album" with the Beatles' "White Album" to make, of course, ""The Grey Album."

Now EMI, which owns the rights to the Beatles' sound recordings, has threatened Mr. Mouse with the copyright stick, and he's backed down:

"He wants a career after this," a source close to the DJ said.

The folks at Illegal Art have posted the album:

I think their server is seeing a lot of traffic, because the load time for the page is looooong. Someone should set up a Bit Torrent for it...
