Is making a remix legal?

0	Lets say that I find an acapella to a song. If I put a beat in the background and label it as a remix is it legal to put out on an album (like for free download or through iTunes). download remix acapella legal asked Dec 14 '10 at 19:01 NickMiller 1.1k●44●46●59

Don't you mean "re-arrange"? "Remixing" means you're changing the mix/balance/fade of the different audio tracks of a particular song recording...not "re-arranging" it.

I will never understand how music culture has "re-defined" the term "remix" into meaning a "different arrangement".
