It also hosts discussions around copyright, plagiarism, plunderphonics, house music, ambient music, cassette culture, and noise, while carrying contributions from Leigh Landy, Godfried Willem Raes, John Duncan, and GX Jupitter-Larsen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is both an archive and a scene document.
