Copyright Leakage Convinces Labels to Make Most of Their Libraries
Reuters reports that several major record labels are opening their vaults and inviting DJs to create mashups (Music labels Open Their Vaults to Remixing DJs).
They take on classic -- some would say unimprovable -- soul, jazz and R&B songs including "Heard It Through the Grapevine," "We Are Family," "Let's Get It On" and "Superfly."
Previous major-label efforts in a similar vein have included Jay-Z's collaboration with Linkin Park, and several Blue Note remix albums. There will likely be more to come as music companies seek to extract maximum value from their libraries and to combat the unauthorized "mash-ups" that have become increasingly popular.
Thank goodness for copyright leakage, otherwise the potential of this new form might not have been noticed by the major labels.
