Do I need to go post the same question on your profile Danny?

As it stands right now, when you upload music to Ourstage it's being held hostage from removal via the account holders control.

Jody,
I agree 100%!

From a technical point, it would be very easy to add this delete/remove feature, especially since all public music sites like Broadjam, MySpace, PureVolume and SoundClick, etc. support such basic feature, except last.fm - but we'll save that for another topic. crazy

I can understand that if a song is in the middle of a contest month, it should probably stay on their server and also (maybe) once a song has won in the Top-10 or higher rank, there's NO harm to leave it there unless there unless a publisher prefers to have it removed, but generally it would be good promo to simply leave it on the system.

However, for any songs that have ended in 11th or lower rank, it should be no problem to remove them after any contest month, or during a time when it is NOT entered in any contest.

Currently they do allow removing of such songs (not sure about winners though), but it's more work for them to have manual intervention from both the artists and the OurStage support team. Doesn't make sense... unless they are still deciding about their removal policies/logistics.
