I recently went to a talk by Stanford Law Professor and media critic
Lawrence Lessig where he said that in terms of practical real world
copyright law as it is being applied these days, successful defense
essentially depends on how much money you have to spend on litigation. Kind
of shocking to hear a distinguished law professor admit that.

|Hmm. I can't believe that - big labels are usually pretty

|underground, or the sample is well disguised. It's far cheaper

|
|anyway, I was wondering - why all the fuss even if Rolando
|used a sample? some of UR's finest moments have pretty big

|
|does it matter?
|
|oh, and one more thing! Mike Pickering - yep, OK, he did
|M-People, but I think he's made his contribution - 52nd Street
|anyone? Good Factory band, innovative etc. Give him a break....
|
|my 2p's worth anyway.
