Lets make up copyright costs!

There is an international law that say if somebody made within 75 years (or something), you may not duplicate/utilize it without permission of its creator. Like, I cannot put "Matador" by FGJ on my site, without Spook's permission. I CAN use 10 or under (sometimes 15) percent of it, however, because that is legal.

To get a tiny-ass "c" thing costs though, but it doesnt do anything more. The "r" and the "tm" do, though.

That is what I am led to believe.

I have no idea what is going on. WTF are you talking about QreepyBORIS?

Oh well.

"Amen" breaks kick my ass.

[aperson]

Yeah, apparently they kick everyone's ass, which is why they are now officially old as hell :P

I think Squarepusher's already done everything there is to do with em :/


See if you can find Dave's Breaks... it's like a 10 part rare with about 500 breaks in it.

[DJCynispin]

oh my bajeezus. 500 breaks?

I'm currently trying to get my hands on some of the original "Bones' Breaks" from back in the day. There are supposed to be some really good breaks on there.

[aperson]

585 to be precise.

I CAN use 10 or under (sometimes 15) percent of it, however, because that is legal.

Nonsense. You cannot use any part of someone's track without their permission.

[DJCynispin]

actually, there is an interval of time you can sample of a person's song without permission. This is how so many remixes and songs in the dance music scene get put out. From what I hear, it's like ten seconds.

I'm pretty sure SB knows what he is talking about.

[squarebear]

I say again. You cannot sample anyone's music like that, at least not under UK law. US law maybe different but I would doubt it.
ALL official remixes will have been authorised by the original artist who will have provided vocals, a MIDI file maybe and samples. You cannot release any remix without the consent of the original artist.
However, many do in the form of "white label" records. These are illegal and the remixer may be liable for court action.

What are vinyls for? >.< Do I have to ask for permission everytime I mix? No. I'm probably missunderstanding what's going on here. Oh well...lol

[jewpinthethird]

...Vinyls....as in records...as in "it is what DJ's play/remix" as in "That is why DJ's still use Turntables."
