Yes, I only have to pay for samples because of the existing structure, but
it's that same structure that allows us and our artist to make a living so
I'm not complaining.
Yes, all art samples. I fail to see where your argument is going here (or at
least how it's an argument to what I posted). I'm not saying where the line
is drawn, I'm simply saying that downloading a piece of music is not an
artistic statement, therefore it's a completely seperate argument to
sampling. The original reason I posted was because homeboy was suggesting
that I was a hypocrite to take a stance on downloading when I run a label
that releases some sample based music. Both involve copyright issues, but
they're very different arguments.
