BMG have taken moves to ban a bootleg reworking of a Kasabian track that is available exclusively online.
The mash up of Kasabian with the Happy Mondays to create 'Processed Baggy Beats' was aired on Xfm's Remix show on Sunday, and an MP3 of the track was downloadable from the website of its creator, IDC. While most major and independent labels now turn a blind eye to bootleg remixes providing their creators are not directly profiting from the tracks - recognising that a storming unofficial remix can help sell the original - this time BMG's Business Affairs department has ordered IDC to remove the track from his website on the grounds of copyright violation.
Which is a shame, cos it's a great mix that can surely only help promote Kasabian's new single, LSF, which was released yesterday.
