EMI Beats the Beachles

After beating up on Dangermouse for his White Album mashup, the same major label is going after another DJ for crimes against perceived copyright and profits.  Clayton Count’s Sgt Petsound’s Lonely Hearts Club Band is a combo of the Fabs’ ‘67 platter and the Beach Boys’ album that influenced it: see the P2PNet story for details.  Even though Count never sold this item or meant to make a profit (like Mouse’s album, it was meant to show off his skills), the big corporate baddie obviously wants to make an example out of him.  Wonder what Paul, Ringo and Yoko think of this and if they’re happy that this being done…  Oh well, at least you can sleep securely tonight knowing that EMI is protecting your children from errant DJs.
