last week in the uk, some sort of legal precedent was set when a
small time remixer successfully sued Kylie Minogue's record label
over the use of a sample. the guy in question, sorry forgotten his
name, used a drum pattern only in a remix that he had done and was
justifiably upset to discover it on the lastest kylie single.
therefore acting for their artists, warp could in the uk anyway,
claim a form of copyright over subsequent remixes, above and beyond
the original author's claims
however whether this has influenced their recent action is anybodys
guess
