Ram Son Unavailable

edit

Disasterpeace's "Ram Son" album has outright disappeared from Bandcamp. This Wikipedia article was edited back in July to indicate that it was due to a DMCA Take-down. However, there is no reference provided and I can find none of my own. (No mention in the artist's personal blog, twitter feed, nothing in news articles when googling, etc.)

Can anyone provide a reference that shows it was a DMCA Take-down?

After doing some research it seems as if the album was actually the collab OST from a game called River City Ransom: Underground (which upon review it seems is the source of the album's name; Ransom > Ram Son (m and n switched)). One of the soundtrack's collaborators, Alex Mauer (stylized as "Lexi" in the artist name), seems to have a reputation for batch-filing DMCA takedowns on both games she made music for and the youtube videos for those games, claiming the games don't have the rights to her music. This seems to be the source of the Bandcamp DMCA takedown as well as the takedown of the Steam version of the album. Here's an article explaining her DMCA activity against the game in detail as well as two forum posts providing some info towards the takedown of Ram Son: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2017/07/dmca-takedown-takes-river-city-random-underground-off-steam/, https://steamcommunity.com/app/422810/discussions/0/2592234299540248739, http://www.gog.com/forum/general/release_river_city_ransom_underground_81265 Masterfireheart (talk) 19:02, 16 November 2017 (UTC)Reply
I noticed that Ram Son is available on Bandcamp again: https://music.disasterpeace.com/album/ram-son
I guess the DMCA takedown got resolved.
