By way of background, not all tracks mentioned on Last.fm are available for streaming. Last.fm holds one of the world's largest catalogues of information about music in the world. In most instances, song titles are listed on an artist's page, but are not available for streaming. Last.fm also collects listening data, submitted to Last.fm by our users via their Audioscrobbler plug-ins, which allows Last.fm to take a count of users playing songs which occur off of Last.fm. Therefore there can be a song listed on Last.fm, information displayed about Last.fm users' plays of the song, and no streaming of the song by Last.fm. For more information on Scrobbling, please visit here : https://cbsi.secure.force.com/lastfm/knowledgehome_lfm?referer=lastfm.com We have investigated your claim, but we have not located a streamable version of the track or material listed below: http://www.last.fm/music/Mathius%20Shadow-Sky http://www.last.fm/music/Mathius+Shadow-Sky+%2F+Aloof+Proof http://www.last.fm/fr/music/Agata+Siecinska+%252B+Mathius+Shadow-Sky http://www.last.fm/music/Trio%20Fonic%20-%20Mathius%20Shadow-Sky http://www.last.fm/music/Trio%2520Fonic%2520-%2520Bastien%2520%252B%2520Shadow-Sky If you believe that there is still material which infringes your rights, please provide further information.

Regards, Last.fm infringementcomplaint@last.fm // from: from Mathius Shadow-Sky to: Infringement Complaint Novembre 19 2015 at 16:43 Writing to me anonymously proves the shame of your activity Sorry, but you do not answer to my question. Why a big company like CBS cannot contact the composer first by being polite to ask the composer if he is agree to have his music title and his name listed at last.fm? And, I do not understand why CBS is listing (a part of) my music from published albums under the label centrebombe without permission? There is no link at all from last.fm to centrebombe.org. There is something you are not telling me, otherwise this collecting activity is a waste of time, for you and me. But CBS was never a charity organization, By listing music you make money, otherwise you would not receive any salary. CBS is not a non profit organization. There is no benefit for me, the composer to be listed at last.fm. And 1rst, the pleasure. So please be kind to erase last.fm pages about me and my music. You make money out of scrobbling? After the destruction of music market by the majors since the beginning of the 80s in the twenty century, I, as the composer and owner of my music, not allowed you to use my name, and any title of my music by last.fm own by CBS. I give you 1 month to erase everything about me and my music at last.fm By a simple research you could reach me at my official web site centrebombe.org, but you did not. Something is wrong with the procedure last.fm acts. Using my music my work and its titles and my name is clearly exposed here: http://centrebombe.org/shadow-sky.html and as the composer owner last.fm did not ask for any agreement which is put last.fm like most others on the Internet: a greedy thief. If not last.fm would communicate and share their benefits with the artist. Which never happens in the music industry. Your attitude infringe my music Sincerely Mathius Shadow-Sky // from: from Mathius Shadow-Sky to: Infringement Complaint January 2 2016 at 19:07 I gave you one month to erase the pages with my music, titles and my name. It seems you didn't took seriously my demand, being the composer of my music and owner of my name: you thieve me. You grab my properties without my authorization. You could asked, you didn't. OK it means you are hostile and ready to be prosecuted, and I will do everything to condemn CBS/last.fm to remove my name and music out of CBS/last.fm website. French press will be delighted. Upset Mathius Shadow-Sky How a big company like CBS can appropriate music name and music titles without asking the composer to publish his them on CBS web site? // from: Infringement Complaint to: from Mathius Shadow-Sky January 4 2016 at 11:37 Via Email Thank you for contacting Last.fm via the email copied below.

Last.fm automatically creates a profile page for an artist / band as soon as just one of our users Scrobbles one track by that artist. Scrobbling is what we call the action of our users listening to music via any device and telling us about it i.e. us tracking the action and adding the listened to song to the user's profile. Please refer to the following link for more information on Scrobbling: https://cbsi.secure.force.com/lastfm/knowledgehome_lfm?referer=lastfm.com Last.fm is a very powerful promotional tool, an organic discovery engine powered by millions of music lovers that promotes music to people who already listen to similar music. Up to 700 people around the world tell us what music they are listening to every second. So even if it was technically possible to delete a musician's / band's profile, sooner or later someone around the globe will listen to one of that artist's / band's songs again, and thus the artist page would be recreated.

I do not need the false CBS Last fm "organic discovery engine powered by millions of music lovers that promotes music to people" (sic), centrebombe.org has more than 200 000 downloaded records per month. For me it is enough. I do not need CBS false promotion. Au contraire, In contrary CBS Last fm is taking advantage of my music to argue for advertisers of 57 millions visitors per day to sell ads. Where the money goes for CBS, not for artists. By not asking me if I would be agree to have some of my music mentioned by CBS Last fm web site, make CBS a thief. So, I demand you CBS Last fm, again, to erase your pages with my music, my name Mathius Shadow-Sky, and my music titles. This is my right undeniable. CBS Last fm is anti-promotional to my music, by its greedy image stealing money from artists. A very bad advert for real artists. CBS is taking advantage against artists, as usual. This will be stopped. Would you like me to prosecute CBS for robbery? knowing that my music you published is protected by the French SACEM? For me it is very easy, to sue CBS asking for a huge amount of "dommages et intérêts" especially with the SACEM power, and being an alive composer to testify the robbery of my music, my name and my music titles. Being nice, I give you again one month to erase everything about me: Mathius Shadow-Sky on CBS Last fm web site. I would consider a third non-personal answer as a denied.

Upset Mathius Shadow-Sky // from: from Mathius Shadow-Sky to: Infringement Complaint February 20 2016 at 17:45 Well well well, The 6 January, I gave you one month to erase pages with my music and my name. I asked you politely to erase these pages* you create with my name and my music, without asking me (as) the music composer: me, therefor without my permission: my music is still my property as being alive. Not executing my request, as the author composer of the music you published without my permission, shows disrespect and means one thing : CEO and people working at last.fm CBS are thieves. Thieves means you appropriate properties that doesn't belong to you. You make, that I, as the composer can complain. As the alive composer of my music, I have my rights still on my music. At my death, I asked in my testimony to erase all my works: to be not insulted by commercial misappropriation. Your silence (with your false arguments about uncontrolled automation: "automatically creates a profile" stays unbelievable, there is always somebody behind with (bad) intentions) with keeping my name and my music at last.fm means: you engaged hostilities against me. The expression of scorn to me and my music works is unbearable. At any time you should felt sorry about your attitude, but excusing by false necessities to hide you make money of it, create a big shame. I am not a mainstream composer, so you should not care? As a drop in a ocean, do I have to sue, to prosecute last.fm to fulfill my request? A punishment battle? Is your choice, not mine. You are giving any other choices You are not friendly people Are you disgusting people?

Regards, Last.fm infringementcomplaint@last.fm // from: from Mathius Shadow-Sky to: Infringement Complaint March 7 2016 at 00:17 OK, I understand Lawyers = stay anonymous = cowardice = money fight => putting a side a major problem. Which your main occupation is to accumulate money with stolen works from others. By lawyering, last.fm means being ready to fight to keep the stolen money by appropriating music, music titles, and composers' names without the agreement of the (alive, public) composer. You act disrespectfully: like a thief, and denying like a thief. For me now with you: everything is clear. CBS last.fm act as a thieves and liar (to be major there is no other ways as dishonesty) boasting with your web site having more than 50 million visit per day to sell adds. And here is my proposition: I WILL START A CAMPAIGN ON SOCIAL NETWORKS untitled CBS LAST.FM = THIEVES to reveal who really you are. Your image, your reputation (if you act to others like you act for me) of your company will live the consequences of what you have provoked. I already starts the campaign discretely at my official web site centrebombe.org in different well visited pages Shall we continue? Mathius Shadow-Sky Who are you people? Anonymous, afraid to sign a letter with your name? hiding your responsibility = cowardice. Are you hostile? It looks like, by willing engaging lawyer procedure, means you have the money to support the cost of international fight trials, means you make enough money to buy any decision of any judge, means you are ready to engage hostilities, means you are bad intention people. Proving me the contrary will be difficult without lies. First you discuss with me, Mathius Shadow-Sky: the concerned composer of the stolen music, titles and names. The fact is: you steal without my agreement my name and my music: CBS Last.fm being disagree with that is to denied the truth, if you can fight the truth with lies, means: you built your company with bad intentions. It is clear. Well well well You are "disagree with your (my) assertions", but in fact it is very simple: I, the composer Mathius Shadow-Sky see my work, my titles work, and my name: stolen: you use it, without my agreement, TO SELL ADDS in your web site (arguing 50 millions visitors per day). Simple: you use musicians' works without their permission and agreement for you selfishly and greedy money accumulation. This money you make gives you the possibility to start an international lawyers' fight, which means: you have the money for it and you are ready to fight, to protect your usurped privileges, and create hostilities. This acting, is enough, to be a proof, for you to be guilty. Here is my proposition as a composer being stolen of his work, titles work and name by you CBS last.fm: I will start a campaign in the social networks untitled CBS LAST.FM = THIEVES, if in 15 days the web pages under my name Mathius Shadow-Sky with all my music title are not erased at last.fm web site. I already start a small information in my official web site centrebombe.org saying: "last news: CBS last.fm has stolen, without any agreement of the alive composer Mathius Shadow-Sky: his music, his music titles and his name." in different pages well visited. If I am not the only one stolen composer, this protest will grow up going through the media, and then CBS last.fm will be obliged to give back what you took without composers' permission and agreement, for your unique goal: to sell adds to accumulate money. You should ask before Mathius Shadow-Sky Now you know
