But NO: if someone plays a quote, this is not the same as cutting a nice little loop out of a previously made recording, rearrange it with some other loops and call it "mine! - who the f... cares for that poor little sucker that played the loop in the first place: me not!" The only thing i can approve is, that sampling should be allowed for anybody with no cost until the derivative work makes money and so a fair share can be given easily. Remembering the names of artists, that made the material on wich a remixer rolls his own, is not sooo big a hindrance for the freedom of art. There was the reference to the case Negativeland vs. U2 - i would plea as follows: 1.) Negative Land had every right in the World to use the U2-Stuff 2.) U2 should not have been allowed to sue NL, because a mIllionsellerrockstars they have to take the burden of being a cultural phenomenon too - to be commented and discussed including quotation in the open. 3.) U2 should not have been allowed to demand more then the autor of a covered song for each sold copy of the NL-Album - about 5% of the price of the album at the shop, by my estimation. I do not try to fight freedom of art but for some quality and manners as art is distributed. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFE7KTD1Aecwva1SWMRAju7AJ4lGiXX2NJZciD/lJqyCjpvs0y/CgCfQH0O YhZEjYthbFZVHsGH08VKmdw= =ZCTi -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
