Hip-Hop sites, blogs caught up in anti-piracy mess
For example, the list includes archive.org , which has nothing to do with piracy. It also includes Vimeo , a YouTube competitor. However, the real controversial part is the music-based sites that are listed. One listed site was SoundCloud , which is one of the most popular tools for musicians to promote new material to fans. The Beastie Boys streamed their latest album using the site. Another blacklisted website is Vibe.com , the online portal of Vibe magazine, founded by Quincy Jones . A 2009 list of the top 50 hottest rap blogs was published on Vibe.com. These websites are where hip-hop producers really want to be featured. TechDirt points out that if you check that list against the GroupM "piracy sites" list, most of them are on it (7 of the top 12 alone.) Of course, this means that artists from Universal are going to have a tough time promoting their music now with affected websites who feel Universal are behind their problems. Theories as to why these sites have been included range from ignorance (lawyers who no nothing about the music/hip-hop ecosystem online just adding everything they deem to be infringing copyright) to nefarious (attempts to knock down competition, or to break a reliance on certain outlets for promotion).Hip Hop Sites - News

C4 sites Prince and Michael Jackson as some of his biggest influences. "I would like to be remembered as the number one artist of my time who brought back the movement of real music," proclaims the singer. He's the voice of Generation NEXT!
“It's rock, it's hip-hop, it's club music, it's electronic, it's reggae,” said Tomas Cookman, founder of the LAMC and CEO of National Records. “What unites all of those is music typically not championed and played on all the major Latino radio stations
Although he has been hailed for the way his album title challenges the hip-hop status quo, it turns out to be more of a publicity stunt than a rap Stonewall. "I'm not a gay man," he told Complex. The album's lyrics also make no mention of homosexuality
While I don't know which of those companies may be responsible for some of the other headscratchers on the list, the attack on hip hop sites is being pinned squarely on Universal Music by many of the sites involved, and they're not happy.
