[edit] Unauthorized remix
Amp live received a cease and desist letter from Warner/Chappell, informing him that his Rainydayz Remixes of Radiohead's In Rainbows record "created musical arrangements/remixes" without proper approval. After building an internet movement, primarily through YouTube, Stereogum and Pitchfork Media, a settlement was reached and Amp was allowed to release the album for free.[1]
