I'm not criticizing musicians. I'm criticizing people who think that a
remix using uncleared samples is not music, original or desirable.
IMO that is a very high level of snobbery. A similar attitude that
people who spend years learning their scales by rote direct at a
musician who has no formal training. The kind of crap that rock
musicians usually reserve for DJ's and vice versa.
I happen to be a rock musician and a DJ with a level of formal training
but not at the tertiary level. I have seen a lot of musical snobbery and
the attitude some people on this list have towards remix artists is of
the same flavor.
