Sampling
1. In your opinion, is sampking a form of copyright infringement? Explain your position.
I believe that samlping is aform of copy right infringment. And I think because of the internet its even out of control. First off lets not deny its people who want to make music but dont have the talent. Sampling first started at partys by dj's mixing in the music. When a DJ oon the radio plays music together they have to pay royalties. The aregument is that the music is such a short piece. I think its just talentlss people that are really inlove with music trying to make it on other peoples hard work. But because of people wanting notirity and fame they are putting it out on the internet. I feel the ammount of sampleing thats going on is so big that it cannot be enforced. In the U.S. You can sample because of US common law. This happened because of the original owners sueing the samplers and then the samplrs fighting back some times and not having to be forced to pay large fines. When they did have to pay large fines allot of upcomming artist couldnt get out there because they couldnt afford to use the stoeln sample. In some cases the artist would say no this is not copy right infringment and by this happening more and more it sorta changed the law. This common law is a U.S. Lawand sampling is veiwed differentley in different legal ways ion the world.
