"For Legal Reasons, enclosed CD-R contains no music. Philosophy[edit] DangerMouseSite.com. The Grey Album. History[edit] Danger Mouse released The Grey Album in limited quantities to a few internet outlets. Due to the amount of attention the mashup received, EMI, copyright holder of The Beatles, ordered Danger Mouse and retailers carrying the album to cease distribution. Because of the overwhelming popularity of Danger Mouse's work this did not happen. Danger Mouse never asked permission to use The Beatles' material, and intended to produce a limited production run of 3,000 copies.

Jay-Z's material, on the other hand, was commercially released in a cappella form. Although that work was copyrighted, it was released for the implicit purpose of encouraging mashups and remixes. The album quickly became popular and well-distributed over the Internet because of the surrounding publicity. Supplemental artwork was provided for later bootleg versions of the album by Justin Hampton after the initial release.
