Well no one's contacted me (mainly because I didn't even do it yet, and it's not up anywhere). So it's not a pressing matter.

Not to mention, I see lot's of small time artists, who I'm pretty sure wouldn't be able to pay for rights to an instrumental, who have mixtapes chock full of freestyles over mainstream beats. But that doesn't make it legal, as it's been clarified here. So I wanted to make sure.*edit* they don't sell the mixtapes though, so i just wanted to make sure.
