At least this site does appear to respond to requests to take down albums. However, the point is that it should not be up to the artists to complain. The website does not have the right to put the stuff up on the first place. It is not theirs to give away, whether or not a charge is being made.

I had never heard of this website until SOP drew it to our attention. Fortunately the album I made with the Electropathics isn't there (I'm not sure whether to be relieved or offended). How many other similar sites are there which we're now going to have to check to make sure there isn't a dodgy copy being offered? The onus shouldn't be on us, it should be on the website to get permission.

If an album has been unavailable for some time and a website has made a reasonable effort to contact the copyright owner for permission without success, then I accept that there may be a public interest argument for making the album available. However there is no excuse for putting up current or recent albums, especially where either the artist or record label are still in business.
