It's not very imaginative to lift my voice, my intro AND the name of my podcast? One of those COULD be coincidence but all 3? I suppose I should be flattered and I would if you'd done something original with it, but this is copying.

But using my voice 'This is Radio Clash' and stealing the Radio Clash jingles is definitely out of the question - it suggests a link or connection which isn't there. I found your podcast by accident looking for something else.

I could insist you take it off the existing ones but that would be unreasonable, even though I'm really angry.

Please don't use any Radio Clash Podcast-related material http://www.radioclashblog.com (vocal samples, intros etc) on future shows. I will be checking...

And I suggest you do something more original next time.

Tim Baker (Radio Clash - since 2004)

Pas cool le zigue

Dear Tim,

Nobody never wanted to copy you here !
Our Radioclash (Radioclash in one word not two like yours) is a big collective project,
it involves a lot of people of several nationalities :
Bernard Grancher, Istota Ssaca, ogoun ferraille, The Brain, Valkiri, Antiulcereuse, Debmaster, Glafouk, DJ Klingon, DJ Pie, Schling, Valerie Blindee, Al Crotal, Melodik Pinpon, Le Laboratoire (Hyperkut), Tom Torturo, Youri Margarine, Prototop, Eat Rabbit, Edmond Leprince, Sascii, Yvan&Lendl, Bleepshit, Dr Von Pnok, John Deneuve, Monsieur Ben, Monsieur Dauphin, Dr Galactik, Kik, La Forme Lente, Marc de Blanchard, Albanie, Dotnine, Monsieur Tuc, MC C-Imperatriz, WOPR, Cripure, Divag, Syndicat, Crashtesttaurus, Jacques Canon, Ubik, Deehowyou, René Gà, Le Kankre, Tripe Trope, Parpaing, Parasite, Stone & Sardine, NaimBh, Nate, Pnok & Kim, Logosamphia, Sinead o connick jr., Vladimir Vlechnivsky, Assi Pychaf, Kyjah!, Julien Savès, Cyberskum, Paul Peanuts, Starsk, Karim G, Tzii, Denni Montono, Valérie Blindée & Divin Venin denim, Flutch, Rozette, Santanihil, Felipe, Frank Sauze, Michel de Trentemoult, Vendredi, Chaton Pute, Nils Gasp, Billisdead, Non Conforme, Scrotum Phillips, Odea, Sidabitball, Madame Patate, Bacalao, Le mystérieux papy ananas, Minou Tractopouet, Bibi Mati, Excusemycongruence, Georges, Psychotine, DJ no breakfast, Barbatrax, Brutal, Radioactive Panda, DJ Peter Perplexe, Le Dave, Bang, Artuan, Fluke, Ping Pong Junior& YOU (if you want, Tim) !

We choose this name because we wanted to create a "clash" of several radio shows around one thema (first thema is RADIO by the way).
We didn't know you or your podcast at this time, we knew just that the name fitted to our project and was a reference to the song of the Clash.
And This is Radioclash is first the name of a song by this band The Clash, nobody but them own this name, I think.
I have more than dozens of people who can prove this process of creation because our project was born on a forum http://www.musiques-incongrues.net
with 1087 users ! And if you know someone speaking french he could read all the genesis of this projetc there, including the finding of a name.
We then, looked for samples of people saying "This is Radioclash" : you (found on typing "this is radioclash mp3" on google just like the others), several musical extracts, one speakerine of US TV in the eighties, a polish guy, some french guys, etc.

I understand your anger but don't take it wrong, it is, it was in absolutely not any way meant as a copy of your stuff or an injury of any sort.
We will soon put a link to your podcast with an explanation on our homepage, if you please.
My opinion is that you should be honoured to be a reference sampled at the same level than The Clash, who obviously inspired your podcast ! seriously : )
We never wanted to be rude against you, now that we know you, we still won't.

I, and I think I can say "we", hope that this gentleman agreement is OK for you.

Sincerely yours,

Pascal Lebrain (from The Brain Radioshow - 1999 http://www.thebrainradio.com )

Posted By: yan[p]Très bonne et très polie réponse, Puyo! Le coup de malchance c'est d'avoir cumulé par hasard pratiquement le même nom et un sample de la voix de ce gars. Mais après notre Radioclash n'a rien a voir avec son podcast, qui n'est qu'une émission de nouveautés musicale parmi des millions d'autres. Bref, tu lui expliques ça très bien.[/p]

Quant à la chanson des Clash, il me parait normal qu'on l'utilise quand on s'appelle This is Radioclash et elle ne lui appartient pas plus qu'à nous
tout comme le titre de ce morceau. Et lui comme nous sommes bénévoles et "non profit" alors ça va, quoi.

http://media.libsyn.com/media/radioclash/rc_113.mp3

et quand il le fait il met le morceau en question mais depuis quand d'ailleurs ? Je n'ai pas le souvenir de l'avoir entendu quand j'ai samplé sa voix il y a 4 ans en... 2009 !

Par exemple dans le 53 : non
