The rise of "Harlem Shake" from niche hit to Billboard No. 1 super-meme has been delineated in any number of thinkpieces and Web 4.0 infographics, but the mystery of how Baauer would end up making money off a song that contained unlicensed samples has remained mostly unsolved.
Unsolved, that is, until Diplo cleared things up. During a lengthy and wide-ranging interview at the second weekend of Coachella, the Mad Decent label boss explained how he was able to help Baauer -- despite the fact that the young producer had signed an indemnity form that held him solely responsible for any intellectual property disputes that arose from "Harlem Shake."
"We didn't know there were any samples in the song to begin with," Diplo said. "But when it came to clear the samples -- because otherwise he would make negative money -- we wanted to help him out."

Today in “Harlem Shake” legal news: The artists behind two samples on Baauer’s viral hit — Jayson Musson, the Plastic Little rapper who yells “Do the Harlem Shake,” and Hector Delgado, who sings “con los terroristas” — say that their voices were used without permission, and both are in negotiations with his label (Diplo’s Mad Decent) for compensation. But Musson (a.k.a. Hennessy Youngman) is at least amused: He tells the Times that he thanked Baauer “for doing something useful with our annoying music.” Useful, you say.
