Furthermore, it's revealed that Life did not provide the track for free as originally announced. Music fans were especially more angered at Life as it is a non-profit organization.
Life officially apologized for the issue and halted the service for the track. The organization stated, "We admit that we have lacked attention and monitoring of copyrights. We have also confirmed the free service of the tracks were not carried out smoothly and required payment for download on several sites." Life then promised a refund.
