Pop Artists Support Megaupload; Universal Censors

Posted by Soulskill on from the conflict-of-interest dept.

New submitter TheSHAD0W writes "Several well-known artists, including P. Diddy, Will.I.Am, Snoop Dogg and Kanye West produced a song in support of the site Megaupload, recently targeted by law enforcement as a 'rogue site.' The music video was gaining popularity — until YouTube received a takedown notice from Universal Media Group, claiming it violated their copyrights."

    Copyright does not automatically transfer, regardless of what contracts you signed.

    You can of course be sued for breech of contract for not assigning copyright based on your contract, but thats where it ends.
