1) he won't go to jail because the label is responsible for copyright infractions 2) it's not on tb6, it's on Violent Turd, which is run out of New Zealand. I don't know anything about NZ copyright law, but i bet it would be a huge hassle to try to litigate 3) the RIAA doesn't care about sampling and illicit remixes, that would be the domain of the publisher of the original work 4) rumor has it that Missy Elliot likes this stuff 5) the buggles are defunct :) 6) the production run is small enough and low-key enough it will probably slip by unnoticed just like the last batch of tb6 missy remixes -- String Theory -- http://www.enteract.com/~yoshi/index.cgi -- String Theory's Anhedonia CD/LP available at finer music stores worldwide --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
