Ramping Shop' by Vybz Kartel and Spice infringes the copyright in 'Miss Independent' (Smith/Hermansen/Eriksen). Clearance of this use of 'Miss Independent' has not been sought or obtained and I am informed that clearance will not be forthcoming. Accordingly 'Ramping Shop' cannot be released or exploited in any way. Please confirm your acknowledgment and acceptance of this, and that you will arrange that (i) all recordings of the infringing track will be re-called and destroyed and that no further copies will be issued, and (ii) that the audio and/or video will be taken down immediately from all Internet sites."
That is what a letter to the DJ states. So its back to the drawing board. I'm sure he will find a great track for the song. But to make that type of error at this stage in the game, I don't get it. Vybz Kartel is not some novice artist starting in the industry. He needs to either educate himself on copyright or put his knowledge into practice. Ne-yo don't play!
