Cassettes W.L. Mashup GNR, Ludacris

Ludacris Democracy is the name, and giving it away for free is the game, according to the ever-zany Cassettes Won't Listen.

The band has created a mashup of Ludacris with Guns N. Roses - "one of the most highly anticipated albums of all time," they describe it, and we think they mean Chinese Democracy and not the mashup, but either works for us.

 According to the band, "In celebration of new albums from both Guns n' Roses and Ludacris next month, Cassettes Won't Listen offers up this 9 song free (for experimental purposes only) album featuring classic tracks from the Atlanta MC set to 9 previously leaked Chinese Democracy tracks.

Whoops - you were too slow. Sorry pal. The page you're viewing now hosts a cease-and-desist letter from the RIAA that reads, in part, "Dear Sir or Madam. I am contacting you on behalf of the RIAA... We believe your server is hosting... a sound recording for download by the artists known as Guns N' Roses and Ludacris... We have good faith belief that the above-referenced activity is not authorized by the copyright owner.... We request that you remove the infringing file from the system [or] you may be liable for... damages."

As CWL says on the second page of the site, "Sorry. It's out there somewhere."

And that's why God created bit torrents. Let the file sharing begin! Nice publicity stunt for CWL, however....
