I am more mad that he used the name actually, I PM'ed Fade because he knows about the project and he will confirm that no one in a million years would use that name.

Yeah I just saw this also, not much given away, but at least you know where to start your investigation should you choose to pursue it.

Since the site is already down, there is not much left to be done. If he was making money I am sure it would still be up.
I agree.
That is not his number I think, they are privacy protection agents acting on his behalf.

I called the number and yea 2good you are correct it is a privacy protection number. Dude is to scared to put his real number down.

The only way you could get them to give up his real identity would be by subpoena, but its really not worth it in my opinion, but just note the details in case in future you hear your track credited to someone else and then you know where to start the legalities.
Get fade to keep a note of the time stamp details of the track you posted in the beat this also. This will be your copyright date, it should pre-date his date from his own site. Being as his site is now dead, Im not sure he can prove a copyright date = easy win.

No, it doesn't take metadata but it does have a time stamp plus logs will show that I didn't tamper with the records so we're good on that end. It takes the name of the beat and stores that plus other info like your username, etc. The fact that this song is a completely off the wall name helps too.

wow, I just got home and read this thread. That sucks dp... I guess pursuing this would be a big decision...on one hand, you have to ask yourself is it worth it and on the other, will there be any repercussions to this persons actions... tough situation.
*on a side note...it can't be stopped, anyone can grad music off the internet whether it's downloadable or not...if it can be heard, it can can be stolen.

honestly there is nothing to be done. Its just crazy...honestly if someone wants to sell my beats do it, just tell me and give me a cut!
Times are really tough nowadays...I read a lot of national news stories and some of the things that people do blow my mind...but I understand the struggle. It's really bad when someone has to jack beats for money. It's a sign of the times and I only see it getting worse.

yea man, well the good news is that I truly don't believe that someone willing to jack beats like that will ever get ahead. One thing that is nice about the hip-hop community at large is that we have a cool (although sometimes strange) strict set of ethics. And shit like that just doesn't fly.
Just because he may not have made money on music in general because the site is down....doesn't mean that he didn't make any money off of your beat, DP....
It may take time, but I would look into that....I made the mistake by not doing that when I was jacked many moons ago....
Think about it...what if he leased the beat 50 times? I know it's a stretch..but anything is possible...
Leased it to an up and comer and began shouting out the "producer's" name, causing him to get more sales......?
