Following the album's release, American musician Beck asked Girl Talk to open for him at a concert in London. The album's positive reception boosted Girl Talk's popularity and reputation, and Night Ripper has been described as his breakthrough album. Ultimately, no lawsuits materialized in wake of the album's success, which Girl Talk described as "liberating." The label also went over the possibility of a royalty system, but ultimately scrapped it when they decided that it would only weaken their fair use argument. Anticipating lawsuits, Illegal Art prepared a defense citing the fair use trademark law as a legal backbone for the album's use of samples. Online music stores eMusic and iTunes both pulled Night Ripper from sale due to sample clearance concerns. At least one CD manufacturing plant refused to press the album, and the head of another plant asked Girl Talk and his label to justify the use of two specifically chosen samples. Illegal Art did not clear any of the samples used on Night Ripper, leading to several problems in the album's distribution and release. Strong demand prompted the label to produce physical CD and LP copies of the album for shipping to select record stores, as well as make it available for purchase on several online retailers.
