I once got a call from a young man asking me "where the rave scene was at". Apparently some of my electronic music ended up on a electronica mix tape of some sort.
At least they were nice enough to credit me and even supplied my phone number.

I would never bother to try and track down something like that or try to stop it, its a hopeless situation really. Likewise, my record reviews and genre definitions written for music sites show up all over the internet, particularly on Russian and Eastern European sites.

Please share links to the sites so I can get my music on there as well.

Same problem, but there's nothing we can do... and if you found only one web site pirating your music, you did not check out well enough :-)

Oh yeah, apparently we're bigger than The Beatles in and around Russia. Free and pay-for downloads of our (Limpid Green) albums are all over those websites. I haven't done anything about it. We offer our music for free anyway. It does bug me that someone might actually be selling our music, but I'd be surprised if anyone's buying it.

So if we have our music free on Bandcamp, are there areas of the world that can't access it and would access it from one of these junk sites instead?

Just noticed an Eastern European website is pirating my music and offering it as a free download. Irritating but inevitable. 

Reported them to Google, anyone else had this problem and did you get it resolved ?

Cheers
Dave
