Literally hundreds of bootleg remixes of popular songs come out every year.
Big record labels won't go after small operators unless there's significant
money involved; if they press 2000 copies of the Missy Elliot remix, the
profit on it (no more than $3000 tops) would only pay for a couple of hours
of lawyering.
Keep in mind that the maximum penalty for use without permission is the
profit on the release and destroying any unsold stock. Since it's an overseas
release they can't even sue in US courts.
