HitPiece, a new website trying to position itself as the place to buy music NFTs, has temporarily shuttered its digital doors after a flurry of outrage from artists and labels, who claimed the marketplace was selling their music without permission. 

The uproar began Tuesday evening, Feb. 1, especially among independent musicians who realized their songs were being auctioned off on the website.

As news and outrage spread, HitPiece was eventually forced to issue an apology (of sorts) and their website has since gone dark, save for a seven-word masterclass in cancellation avoidance: “We started the conversation and we’re listening.”

HitPiece expanded a bit more in a note shared on social media:

I think HitPiece could defend themselves by pointing out that the NFTs are of no actual value, and don't affect copyright, or anything else.

although I can see why they don't
