I will note that he doesnt use the newest acapella's...there are companies and artists alike who know its better in the long run to have their work reproduced in some sort of manner. Compulsory and Statutory licensing was invented for musicians like us. All you have to do is find out the copyright owner or publisher, and list them in individual statements that must be signed, dated and sent through the mail. Afetr this is completed, the rate artists can choose to pay the minimum of 0.9 cents. Rules are gonna change this in a bout 6 more months but until then, whatever is produced until then is under the current law..SO..He actually could have cleared his way to a compulsory License..which in fact he may have....600 license times a penny....I think ANYONE can afford that..DO YOUR RESEARCH MUSICAINS...P.S. This is under stipulations however that state the recording must be sold as a digitsl down load or electronic transmission (which takes it out of the definition of being a "phonorecord" (vinyl or CD)Hades Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03931935157985366876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019831631758553921.post-40696307106454922602008-09-10T16:05:00.000-05:002008-09-10T16:05:00.000-05:00Awesome posts, way to keep us informed.

It's safe to say there aren't many other ways I'd hear that music again today, since I tend to tune out the music in dentist's offices. <BR/><BR/>His work has actually made me go back and purchase some of those old 70s songs that I'd long forgotten. He reminded me that the top 40 back then wasn't all crap. <BR/><BR/>"“Because his samples are short, and his music sounds so little like the songs he takes from that it is unlikely to affect their sales"<BR/><BR/>I assume they meant it's unlikely to adversely affect their sales. It may have the opposite effect. As you mention, sampling can lead to additional revenue for long-ago peaked artists. I'm proof of that.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289599154567133019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019831631758553921.post-19724839454474249012008-08-29T08:01:00.000-05:002008-08-29T08:01:00.000-05:00How and why is the sample license clearance proces...How and why is the sample license clearance process different than it was when Public Enemy and Beaties Boys released their albums?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
