permission to remix the songs there, though he said in one video description that a video he did ripping off CCR has been removed from Soundcloud for copyright reasons.

But some remixing ripoff artists have found and encouraged ways to evade automatic detection:

They know what they're doing is wrong. They want to do it anyway. They don't want to bother with asking permission. And they sometimes try to make money from ripping off other people's work.

There's nothing admirable about that.

You've posted a lot of remixes here. Were very many (or any) of them official, done with the artists' or labels' permission? If so, they probably said so in the video description.

Reddit thread on a lot of remixes being illegal:

And that problem is on top of the lack of real creativity. Which again makes it an inferior form of music compared to the original or a cover.

I'm trying to explain to you why most people dislike remixes. And you just insulted me, as you insulted highplainsdem Apr 21 #5

It was not insulting. It is a discussion board and I disagreed with them. I have never went on another music OP and told Celerity Apr 21 #8

I profoundly disagree with most all you have posted, especially your attempts to project a lack of creativity unto Celerity Apr 21 #10
