Well, my dispute of the claim they have the copyright on the song has come back with the musician (or the company they work with) claiming they own it, so they just became an example of the current state of things, and I'll be talking about them a bit.
The dispute comes from The Orchard Music (theorchard.com/music/), on behalf of Omeros.net, which is the website of Ricardo Sweatt Rodriguez. (@rsrodriguez). So it's not the artist doing it, it's the artist selling or sharing their song over to a conglomerate.
Ricardo absolutely put his song on a CC-BY website in 2004. I have a whole variety of songs from the explicity open-licensed site at the time. Obviously, this was 15 years ago, but hey, all those musicians are delighted for 70+ year copyrights, right? So later it got sold.
This is a known problem, by the way - people constantly getting takedowns from The Orchard. Because of the structure of YouTube, I could get into a very unpleasant set of battles with them. But for now, it means one of the episodes of the BBS Documentary isn't 100% "mine".
