Help for Dance labels trying to beat piracy of their music

We've just found out about a new company that seems to have quickly gained support from many independent dance labels who are striving to protect their releases from being shared illegally across illegal MP3 sites and blogs - a huge problem for the smaller dance labels, and one that is going to see labels unable to continue providing fans with fresh new music unless things change quickly.

RipBlock.com essentially tackles piracy from the root of the problem, by conducting ongoing comprehensive scans of any blogs, forums and/or file share sites that are hosting or providing links to illegal downloads of your release.

RipBlock’s service includes:

• Scanning the web for your release
• Reporting any illegal content and monitoring its removal
• Compiling a full report every two weeks, detailing all removed content and all offending usernames

A standard scan lasts for two weeks and costs from £50 / 53 euro / $78 per release.

We're about to test this service for ourselves, so we'll update you in a couple of weeks to let you know what our thoughts are on their service.
Other labels already using the service include Cocoon, Bedrock, Border Community, Mothership, Skint and Rekids.
