Here’s a dilemma for you, courtesy of reader Travis:
I have been composing music for some time now. I am a member and contributor to a site called ccMixter.org where music artists can submit sounds, loops, a cappellas, vocals, remixes, and more. I found a vocal on the site that was open and available to be remixed. The vocals were about how God is real, how we should believe in God, etc…
I decided to remix these vocals — add a melody, beat, rhythm, etc… and I made my own original remix. The thing is, I remixed the vocals to say, “God is not real.”
While I got some feedback that the remix was great, it was also suggested by the same people that I take the song down as it was disrespectful to the original vocal artist.
So my question is: Was I wrong?
I do not feel obligated to take the track down as I don’t feel I have done anything wrong or violated anyone’s rights. By posting a loop, sound, vocal, or a cappella to the site for remixing, you can expect it to be remixed. What you can’t expect is how it will be remixed.
What do you think?
