I don't recommend it for everybody. Just in the case where the artist
wants to get a cut of any earnings made from the future use of their work.

Anyway, your example doesn't wash. If it was true then the Verve could
have sued the label that owns the Rolling Stones sample they used in
"Bitter Sweet Symphony". That is completely the opposite of what
happened and no precedent has ever been set for the case you outline.

It is if you use a commercial copyright.

Except they are the ones who spend the most money at itunes and make the
most requests for crap songs at clubs and just so happen to spend the
most money on music in general.

I didn't make the track in question. However I have remixed several
tracks which incorporate samples from other peoples work with varying
degrees of appreciation from people who have listened. I am not the only
one to do it and I defend the freedom I have to do it whether it is
deemed illegal in some countries or not.

I have yet to hear a truly original piece from this community. Even if
it is created with original recordings and samples. Everything I have
listened to takes influence from the work of others or attempts to
emulate a sound that has already been discovered (occasionally with
excellent technical execution).

I don't say this lightly as I have been listening to tracks recorded and
released by this community for 7 years.

Which makes me again question how anyone on this list feels comfortable
singling someone out to let them know their work isn't original because
it doesn't meet their standard for copyrighted material.
