What a bunch of killjoys they are in the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals.
This is a call to arms: Everyone needs to make a track made ENTIRELY
of uncleared samples. The new ruling basically says that samples of
ANY length need to be licensed. So you could, for example, take a
recording, and make notes out of single cycle samples, and it would be
illegal.
If you feel, as I do, that creative sampling is a integral part of the
art of modern music making, this is, in effect, a gag order on a large
number of artists who are not simply biting the work of others.
When sampling is outlawed, only outlaws will be sampling.
