One of IODA's music labels called "Musical Ark" stole of bunch of my copyrighted recordings from my blog and IODA distributed them for sale all over the internet as "mp3 albums" -  (here's a link to one of them on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Folk-Songs-Yugoslavia-Vintage-Recordings/dp/B003Z16D1G)

and here's a link to my blog where they stole it from : www.tamburitza78s.blogspot.com/

I uploaded some of these songs to my YouTube channel a couple years ago, and now IODA has started issuing copyright claims against me - FOR THE SAME SONGS THEY STOLE FROM ME!!! They claim their copyright is 2010 - while mine is 2008 - a full two years earlier. I disputed the first claim and they "reviewed" it and reinstated their claim.

When I disputed their second claim against me, I threatened to report them to the Department of Justice...this time they RELEASED their claim!!! They're thieves! And they're still selling my recordings all over the internet. They even used one of my photos for their "album cover"!
