Copywrong
As a part of the New Zealand Internet Blackout in protest against the ridiculous 'guilt by accusation' law about to come into force (I think it's amazing they've managed to write a law that is both draconian and absolutely toothless at the same time), the folks at Creative Freedom NZ have organised the Copywrong Song: Remix Challenge.
Basically, it's a piece of music by Disasteradio and Mike Corb of which they've uploaded the individual tracks, inviting people to remix it and upload it for others to check out. The song itself is a cheesy but sweet little number about the idiocy and wrongfulness of the law change, so this morning I had a go, and this is what I got (right-click, save as):
Copywrong (luna spark remix - loud master)
Copywrong (luna spark remix - quiet master)
Legal bit:

EDIT: In a grand piece of irony, MySpace won't let me use a black square as the icon for the song, claiming: "There was an error: "Photos may not contain nudity, violent or offensive material, or copyrighted images. If you violate these terms your account will be deleted."
WTF?!
