Interesting decision, though I believe this will be overturned at the Supreme Court Level, if it even makes it that far. Ifr not, someone will overturn it somewhere down thel line...

Huge problem in America right now. Judges trying to make a name for themselves to either get re-elected or re-appointed by creating laws. This allows them to say they did something during their term. But in my opinion, we're just piling up the useless laws....

i hope the law sticks just so it puts P-Diddy (or whatever the fuck he calls himself now) out of business

You can complain about your vendetta with P-Diddy, but youve got to think about what this law would mean for the entire country.

All those bootleg mixes you love? The makers can now be sued for them. Your newest favorite ASOT track that takes a kick drum from a 1972 One-Hit-Wonder Disco tune? Lawsuit. Cool sample from a movie dropped over a nice chill breakbeat tune? See you in court. Whatever you have against P Diddy and possibly the whole hip-hop genre, please think about more than that. First of all, while I dont support most of today's rap about bitches, cars, and cash, there is still plenty of good hip hop out there with sick beats and rhymes about real life issues. The law you support that hurts P Diddy could also cripple these small time artists. The effects on EDM and trance are even larger.

And honestly, Puffy has got the cash now, so if this law did stick, hed still be producing music and people would keep buying it. Whatever you have against hip-hop and/or rap, you cant deny that its an insanely popular genre not just in the United States but world wide. If people didnt buy it, no one would press it. So blame the people buying if youre going to "hate" on a genre....theyre usually the same people with their nicknames on their license plates....

i wasnt serious. (thats why i put the smiley in there) I know this law probably effects EDM more than hip hop/rap, and i have nothing against hip hop/rap. I listen to most types of music, and i HOPE that this law gets overturned because in my opinion it will effect a lot of people, and turn a lot of people away from amateur remixing, which in the end will only hurt the music industry.

no elitism here hehe

and I wonder if this law will have a grandfather clause in it, or is there going to be a couple thousand lawsuits come about from people wanting to get paid because they had a song or movie of theirs get sampled.
