Just so that this is clear: One of Ken's complaints was that the Plaid boys didn't get clearance yet from the labels they did the work under. Depending on what the prior written agreement between the artists and the label is, they may or may not have free reign over who publishes their previously released tracks. If you make a track and put it out on label X, then you hit it big and suddenly it's a jingle for a Toyota commercial, the label which put your music out will most likely want a cut. (since they did the legwork and publicity for your now-famous release) So bottom line is, unless we know for sure what Plaid's agreements with their labels were, and if they've gotten clearance recently, we don't know if they're doing anything illicit or not.
