We"ve made this point over and over again: if you give people the power to force down someone else"s content, it will be abused. We see this most clearly in things like DMCA takedown notices, which are rife with abuse -- either through automated takedowns or just by people who want certain things to disappear. But here"s a variation we haven"t seen quite as much: DMCA abuse as extortion. This story involves musician/composer Keitaro Ujile who variously goes by Ujico* and Snail"s House and who has a pretty big following. As an aside, he describes his electronic music as "Happy Music" and, damn, is it ever. I"ve been listening to it while writing this post, and you can too at Soundcloud, Bandcamp or... YouTube.
