Danger Mouse Releases Blank CD-R To Spite EMI

Posted by Soulskill on from the vengeful-rodents dept.

An anonymous reader writes "DJ Danger Mouse famously fought with EMI over his Beatles/Jay-Z mashup, 'The Grey Album,' and now seems to be battling with the label again. Rather than release his latest album and face legal issues with EMI, Techdirt is reporting that Danger Mouse will be selling a blank CD-R along with lots of artwork, and buyers will be responsible for finding the music themselves (yes, it's findable on the internet) and burning the CD."

      They haven't because they can't. They'd get sued by Simon and Garfunkel.

    One to burn, one to keep on a shelf to then sell to some eccentric collector in 50 years. Retirement, here I come!

      The irony is that it will be worth more to collectors WITHOUT the music on it!

    Many Slashdotters clearly know as much about music as they do about the opposite sex.

    But I suppose that for you, everybody is the "opposite" sex.

    I hear no techno, no disco, and even worse, no handbag.

    Just as bad: no wife, no horse, no mustache.
