I think many hip hoppers have a sort of hypocritical stance on sampling. They advocate it, but at the same time don't want to reveal their sources for fear of other hip hoppers swiping the same loops or discovering the secret weapons of their record collection :) pete > yipee! > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Robert Taylor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 13 August 2002 17:05 > To: 'jurren baars'; [email protected] > Subject: RE: [313] > can you post this to the 313 list... ? > > > > > > > > the point is that james newton created > the original piece; it's his work, so he has the right to do with it what HE > > wants. > Does he really have that right? > There is a school of thought that once a piece of work is in the public > domain it belongs to everyone. > > _________________________________________________________________ > MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: > http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Any views or opinions are solely those of the author and do not necessarily > represent those of Channel Four Television Corporation unless specifically > stated.
