These outings dedicated to the extension of copyrights have become recurrent in recent years.According to law, recordings are protected for 50 years after their publication and can be extended up to 70 years, provided that they are "legally communicated to the public" in the first 50 years.Over the decades, new collections on the Beatles, Stones and Bob Dylan have briefly appeared on the Internet via third parties, before being removed.

As a reminder, Lou Reed died on October 27, 2013.
