			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/489611"><img src="http://TorrentFreak.com//images/lip%20service%20cover.jpg" align="right" alt="wafeek lip service" /></a>The &#8220;Lip Service&#8221; mixtape is <a href="http://www.myspace.com/wafeek">Wafeek&#8217;s</a> first album. The MC / Lyricist from Los Angeles got his beats through P2P services like Limewire and Youtube without consent of the copyright owners. </p>
<p>Wafeek says he does it for the streets, freeks and geeks. On the Lip Service Mixtape he deals with sadness, sex, silliness, struggle, stereotypes &#038; spirituality. On <a href="http://TorrentFreak.com/torrentpod-episode-13/">this weeks podcast</a> we already played &#8220;Boppin&#8217; Yo&#8217; Momma&#8221; where Wafeek spits his lyrics on the beats of the Triple Six classic &#8220;Poppin&#8217; my Collar&#8221;. Hip-Hop and Rap fans really need to <a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/489611">check this one out</a> before the cease and desist letters are rolling in.</p>
<p>The most talked about album when it comes to using unauthorized work is probably The Grey album by DJ Dangermouse. The <a href="http://www.illegal-art.org/audio/grey.html"><em>Grey album</em></a> is a mash-up of the Beatles&#8217; <em>White Album</em> with <em>Jay-Z&#8217;s Black Album</em> </p>
<p>DJ Dangermouse received a <a href="http://www.waxy.org/archive/2004/02/11/danger_m.shtml">&#8220;cease-and-desist&#8221; letter</a> from EMI, the copyright holder of the White Album, soon after the Grey Album was released. Although EMI later admitted that the album <a href="http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20061110/122849.shtml">did no harm</a> to the sales of the original album by the Beatles, they are still committed to prevent unauthorized mash-ups.</p>
<p>More unauthorized music can be found on <a href="http://www.bannedmusic.org/">BannedMusic</a>. The &#8220;Lip Service&#8221; mixtape can be downloaded <a href="http://www.mininova.org/tor/489611">here</a>.   </p>
