Blogger blog takedown notification
Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to \"draft\" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message.) This means your post - and any images, links or other content - is not gone. You may edit the post to remove the offending content and republish, at which point the post in question will be visible to your readers again.
A bit of background: the DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. If you believe you have the rights to post the content at issue here, you can file a counter-claim. In order to file a counter-claim, please see http://www.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=lr_counternotice&product=blogger.
The notice that we received, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Chilling Effects at http://www.chillingeffects.org. We do this in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You can search for the DMCA notice associated with the removal of your content by going to the Chilling Effects search page at http://www.chillingeffects.org/search.cgi, and entering in the URL of the blog post that was removed.
If it is brought to our attention that you have republished the post without removing the content/link in question, then we will delete your post and count it as a violation on your account. Repeated violations to our Terms of Service may result in further remedial action taken against your Blogger account including deleting your blog and/or terminating your account. DMCA notices concerning content on your blog may also result in action taken against any associated AdSense accounts. If you have legal questions about this notification, you should retain your own legal counsel.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

As you can see from the title it was not just a post being blocked, but my access to the blog was revoked completely. The previous DMCA notices were all for official free downloads from soundcloud, all in error of course, but nobody at Blogger/Google cares, you can't even contact anybody regarding any of these issues anyway. The dictatorship of Google/Blogger is absolute.
That's it folks, I'm fed up being harassed by Google, by Blogger, by labels and managements and PR outfits and their scumbag lawyers. I'm actually fed up with the Music Industry in general and all the associated morons that don't even know how to appreciate free publicity when they get it, leave alone they'd know the difference between promotion and their obsession with copyright infringements. They can all go to hell as far as I'm concerned.
To our loyal vistors, thank you for your loyalty throughout the years, and the regular kind words on facebook and twitter.
It was nice while it lasted, but it ends right here.
I got better things to do with my time.
Like enjoying peace and quiet.
