If you haven&#x27;t heard it already - his music is great coding music. Start here:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=M5mQMN1KktY" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=M5mQMN1KktY</a>

&quot;[...] also made waves globally in regards to realizing what the toxic fashion and beauty industry does psychologically to young girls.&quot;<p>No.<p>See &quot;The Dove Sketches Beauty Scam&quot; <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thelastpsychiatrist.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;dove.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;thelastpsychiatrist.com&#x2F;2013&#x2F;05&#x2F;dove.html</a>

I understand the reluctance to use litigation against mega corporations, given that any procedural error can basically cost you your existence, even if the core complaint is very simple.

Looks like the article was taken down. Here is an archive.org link to it. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20171110080004&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bennjordan.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;?p=735" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20171110080004&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.bennjo...</a>

Both his posts regarding the Dove music licencing have now been removed. Lawyers getting involved maybe?

This is a prime example of why we need copyright reform. Here is a guy who, by his own admission, (co)created a cultural landmark; something many people know, love or at least recognize. In a prime example of bait-and-switch scam, after it has gotten successful, he&#x27;s now trying to lock it away behind a paywall, extorting people just to keep using what they already paid for. Maybe he has the law on his side (after all, it&#x27;s only to be expected that capitalism would serve only the interests of rent-seeking owners), but proprietary music is eating away the very foundations of our culture. This guy should be boycotted and we should organize a movement of musicians who make works available for Free - not just free as in beer, but also (and more importantly) Free as in speech.<p>(&#x2F;s , if that wasn&#x27;t obvious...)

Maybe someone does think the guy hasn’t been paid enough and is deliberately providing a justification for “damages”

His music was used for a soap commercial, he should be glad they&#x27;re removing it. These commercials can totally destroy a peace of art.
