yeah but ducksauce didnt steal it. EDM is a sample based genre, so using a sample is the norm.

be it for a remix or to make a whole track.

riva starr used wreckx n effect, frederick mooij uses just about every new jack swing or early 90's hip hop, prodigy used beastie boys who i think sampled it off slick rick or public enemy some other rapper before them.

now while some mask it to unrecognisable (i.e. prodigy), some make it clearly obvious like frederick mooij or duck sauce.

EDIT: oh and prodigy dont always mask it such as the smack my bitch up sample

i read recently on one of the gamer sites deadmau5 looped a sample from the zelda theme for one of his tracks. see everyone in the genre does it.

and for the record barbara also includes a sample of a chromeo track

ha ha yeah that would have been a good game till ruggs spoiled it with that cheat site.

i bought copyright control sometime last year, which was kinda like remix the manifesto but more from a production point of view, and sample based music.

and the best bit was when they showed how led zeppelin had sued some rappers, only then to have shown led zeppelin had taken many of their hits including stairway to heaven from folk songs or older non-charting songs.

the movie showed a good point though. you will never have classic sample based albums like it takes a nation of millions to hold us back (one of my fave albums of all time, i still have the orig vinyl my older bro got in 87 or 88 ), because of all the clearance problems. and chuck d said back then everyone thought rap/ hip hop was a fad that would die so didnt give two shits about the sampling. its only when it became international that record labels (not artists) started seeing the potential $ so decided to start suing everyone.

now i do agree that if $ are made then pay the royalties, but it should be a simple % of sales system and not a bartering system. because what happens is if bigg producers want a sample, labels try to jack them for the sample. which is why most people now say fugg it and we ended up with the 808/ synth generation. which in its own right was/is good.

yeah most of the time you will find its the records label that sue. most of the big labels are good at it these days because sales are down so its a good way to make money. sad really. instead of creating a new way to deliver music for a small fee they'd rather rape artists of there money.

if a sample is used creativly then great!

i know im gunna come across as a WHALE, but did you really think it was an original production? lol its been around for a while i got a remix where it breaks into the original version goes good
