eBay removed a 1948 Ravens aircheck a few months back and never did explain 
what their reasoning was, beyond thinking it qualified as an unauthorized copy 
of something. Since I deal with eBay Canada and the copyright period here is 
still 50 years, this one was a little hard to understand. I haven't had any 
other airchecks or radio recordings come under scrutiny.

Orchard Music, seems to show up as the Perpetrator of many of these notices. I have no idea who they are, and what their legal interest actually is. The Only video I a have ever had Blocked, was the original "Rocket 88" on an original 78.
