As long as it doesn't form a key theme, motif or hook in the derivative work, I'm strongly in favour of sampling.

That article seems to be plagiarised entirely from http://blog.landr.com/sampling-isnt-theft/ — even down to the name of the author!

Let’s move the conversation from legal battles and theft to creativity, technology and music history. The techniques that we use to sample go hand in hand with advances in music technology and music in general.

Technology has shaped our musical creativity as much as creativity has pushed technology further.

is beating a dead horse a crime?

Can we move the conversation from these words to some other words? I mean, doesn't the way we use words go hand in hand with wordal technology and development? And smoothies? Amirite?

This thread is severely testing my new resolve not to be a troll.

My view of sampling has been shaped not just by the music I enjoy but also by what I've used to sample and mangle. It started with an akai s1000 round my friends place, which was very basic, then I got a kurzweil k2000 which combined a pretty deep synthsis engine so my samples would rarely sound like the original.

Now it's completely off the hook with what you can do, to the point where samples can be treated like a sine or square wave, ie just another source to build off of. I think if someone uses something recognisable and makes a ton of cash then something should be worked out where both parties feel happy, but it's not nice seeing creative people hindered for using bits and pieces and making it there own. Although I did get de la souls back catalogue for free, so there was a silver lining to that outrageously plump sample clearance rain cloud.
