Might wanna take a look at the Overclocked Remix main page also mentioned in the article. It's got about 1200 remixes, of various games and in various genres.
And yes, Streets of Rage is covered too. As is the Starlight Zone. Just not in live jazz(until someone does and submits it)
I seriously doubt the RIAA has anything to do with a game produced by a British company for a Japanese game system.
Unless the RIAA suddenly became a worldwide association.
OCR may have originally started out as a pretty much personal website, but it can hardly been considered as one.
Even though it's mainly run by only one man, responsible for the posting of every single mix, the works of many appear on it, there's a competent panel of judges for quality assurance(Whenever DJPretzel, the webmaster, isn't sure about approval of rejection), merchandise is being sold(Shirts and hoodies, good quality stuff too. I'm wearing one of the shirts right now), and people from within the VG music business have their works posted on it. For example, The Fat Man(7th Guest) and Jeremy Soule(Morrowind, Secret of Evermore).
Would you consider a site such as Penny Arcade or Homestar Runner a "personal website" as well?
NIN never did a Zelda cover. Look it up. Someone else just renamed their work to show it off. It's a common thing on P2P.
People on there also seem to think that Weird Al did every funny song ever, and System of a Down did a Zelda remix too(They didn't, the original's on OCR and has a statement from the band itself that it's not them)
Hell, Terra in Black has been credited to Madonna a few times on P2P networks. There's tons of other examples as well.
