hi list,
a friend of mine recently send a demo cd-r to a well-known, and dare i say,
respected label looking to hopefully work with them.
A few months later he listens to a new release by them and finds that the
main loop that one of the tracks is built around has been taken from his
cd-r.
i've heard it and it objectively is the case....
my friend's only problem with all this is that they didnt wirte to him
telling him that they liked the track and wanted to use a sample of it. it's
not a quesiton of being ripped-off but rather having some sort of
acknowledgement and appreciation being manifested.
i think this is an example fo what is or isnt to be considered plagiarism in
electronic music. given that it is music made by using samples and also
previously recorded material, is there a line that is not meant or even a
sort of code of conduct to follow so that someone doesnt feel ripped-off?
cheers,
fab.
