Archive:OverClocked Remix

OverClocked Remix is an online project to store freely available remixed MP3s of video game music in a variety of genres, submitted by amateur artists.

Good

 * No DRM
 * All music is freely available
 * Probably the largest freeware music community on the Internet -- source of much of the Internet's remixing culture, as or more impotant than fanfiction communities in establishing the growth of a free culture online

Bad

 * It isn't just an online repository; the admin, djpretzel, enforces guidelines that keep submissions differentiated from the original tracks and at a certain level of quality as he determines it
 * The music is technically in violation of copyright law, making it vulnerable to takedown requests, though the nature of the music (and the reason for the existence of this site) is that video game music, as a highly listened-to but rarely bought on its own form of music, means this rarely happens
 * There is as yet no explicit provision for creative commons licensing, since as above the music has no legal status
