Initially scheduled to go live on November 20, 2007—the same day ''[[Y34RZ3R0R3M1X3D]]'' was released in the US—it was delayed due to [[Interscope Records|Universal Records]]' reluctance to host the site, citing the same copyright issues for which they had filed lawsuits against YouTube and MySpace. [[Trent Reznor]] was more than welcome to host the site himself but he would then assume all legal responsibility, including possibly being sued by Universal. Ultimately a settlement was reached and the site went live on November 26, 2007.
Unlike the fan-run [[ninremixes.com]], remix.nin.com prohibits mash-ups or remixes using material by other artists or other media sources (film, television, etc.) due to copyright concerns.
