But in a turnaround move, a now defunct file sharing/Indie music site blocked me from registering an Indie account in their Artist section simply because I found some of my own and my husband's copyrighted hypnosis MP3's being shared through their server without my permission; I therefore demanded their removal from the site. This was not a simple matter of 'copyright of creation'. Two of my MP3s that were found on this server have Library of Congress registration numbers. Thus DMCA violation charges could have easily been filed. This incident happened in 2001, well after the passage of the DMCA. I now wonder what would have happened if when I was blocked from artist registration, I had filed a tortuous interference with commerce suit in return? I have been asking that question for years.
