hmm, yes sampling is everywhere, but 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. but he should also have a saying in what he doesn't want to have
happen with his work [that's basically what copyright is for] so when
someone else uses his work he should get aproval of the original author, the
mere fact that this doesn't always happen, but that doesn't make it right!
how would you react if someone samples one of your all time 313 classic
pieces and turns it into the cheesiest record ever and makes a uge profit
out of it, it's not about the money, you as an artist would feel violated,
the rip off is everything you are against, and you're not even gettting
recognition for the original work, doesn't feel so good does it?
