Label response is going to vary. There's an entity called WebSheriff that works on behalf of some labels, and they'll start by hitting you with a pleasantly-worded public comment, as recently happened on Popdose. A cease-and-desist will generally be a private communication, and a little nastier in tone.
Or, y'know, the label may go straight to your ISP, lawyers arrayed and guns blazing, and, at a minimum, have you bumped offline until the track is removed. Happened to Perpetua.
In general, leaks and advance tracks from high-profile artists are going to garner a more severe response; enforcing the copyright on back-catalog stuff seems to be more trouble than it's worth.
And note that it's almost always the labels, rather than the artists themselves, that will raise a fuss. |
