Bradford Cox has been on a roll this week. Over four consecutive days, Atlas Sound and Deerhunter frontman has released “Bedroom Databank” Volumes 1-4 under his Atlas Sound moniker. Most of these recordings, as he reports in his blog have been recorded in the last week or so in his betroom. Cox uploaded the files to Mediafire and linked them to his blog: However, today he announced that Sony has deleted his files on grounds of copyright violation:
Apparently Sony Music Owns my bedroom. Feel free to call or email and let them know what you think. I can understand them requesting for me to remove a cover but the only one I can imagine that happening with is Dylan. Which was on Vol. 1. Which was not deleted. I am re-uploading the files now. I’ll put new links in the posts.
No word yet as to what Sony believed was in violation, and despite the Dylan cover not being removed, it should also be noted that cover songs generally are allowed by copyright law.
