Ok, I thought about this today.

Everybody knows how pirating music then downloading on websites is illeagal. Well, what if somebody makes a 'remix' of the song and puts it on a website for download. Would that remix be considered illeagal?

The remix has to be more than 15% different and the producer has to sign it off for it to be legal.

How would you determine how 'different' a song is?
Like, there are 15% more beats in this song! Sign it?

I would say it would be legal. Remixes of most songs are awesome!! *big grin* But I would go with what RIAA says, not what I say...

Good ol' Death from Above 1979, when they released their album, the released a remix album a year or so later. The remix album was just as good as the album.

I just thought I'd let you know.

That's why I said of MOST songs. Not all. Some are horrible.

Like paranoia said, due to stupid music recording companies yes.
