I'm not sure exactly what piece of content they are referring to. It's clearly related to the Jay-Z mash-up. But the video, mp3, or both? I'm happy to take the video and mp3 down, but the video is hosted on YouTube, a Google property as is Blogger, who received the DMCA for the content I posted. The video is still up on YouTube here.
It's more likely that the mp3's included are what they would like taken down, but again, what about the video? And if all of it needs to come down, why wouldn't the YouTube user who posted the video get one as well? I'm assuming they haven't because the video is still up. Blogger automatically put my post back in draft when they got the DCMA.
I sent an email to Blogger looking for clarification. In the meantime, you'll have to enjoy the offending post in Google's cache.
