Strange Things are Afoot at the Circle K

So that virus I got on my desktop computer is pretty gnarly, but I've learned that it's not gnarly enough to delete posts on Mantisounds.  THAT would be the work of the folks enforcing the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), who apparently took issue with a post or two I put up in early October and sent blogger an order to remove at least one post.  Unfortunately, the notification email is frustratingly nonspecific, stating simply that SOMETHING in the post violated the DMCA.  Since they've left all my other mixes up, I think it must have been for using the photos I used, so I'm going to try again with different accompanying artwork.  But the paranoid stoner in me can't help but wonder if now the killjoys from the DMCA are going to scrutinize my blog more regularly.  I'm going to try to be as vigilant as possible when posting artwork or photos, and as always, if you see something that's yours, just drop me a line and I'll yank it.  Just PLEASE don't narc me out to the DMCA...

(it just occurred to me that it might have something to do with the Zeppelin remix I finished the mix with.  I bet those dudes can afford vigilant-ass copyright enforcers, even if it's part of a dj mix for PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY)
