just got finished watching Copyright Criminals on Netflix. Pretty interesting stuff.

just watched it
What bothered me was how they portrayed everyone that was for sampling as bad boy renegades and those against it as white business men.
They also did not really explain the different styles of sampling which I think is the key element. There are plenty of academics or famous composers that would defend the art of sampling in a much more eloquent way.
That one guy that was by the console saying sampling is just not cool needed someone with some credentials to explain the artistic process for the last 400 years and that sampling is nothing new.
The sad part is that major labels have released stuff with unlicensed sounds but had a paper trail to "prove" that they hired studio time to record a similar percussion loop. They would have the session down to the players on paper. Nope, that ain't jabbo starks, that is session drummer 5 who is not a union player thus uncredited recorded at so and so studio. The term is called sound alikes and is perfectly legal for stuff you can't copyright ie anything that doesn't have a melody or words. Studios loved it because they got payed for doing nothing.
No matter how you cut it, it is always the bigger labels with more money doing more things wrong.

this one has everything , nazis, wagner and krautrock. I'm not a nazi sympathizer but I have a soft spot for snappy dressers and Wagner. But being serious for a minute, this one is actually pretty good. Ties in a social movement with music really well.

Just wanted to thank you all for posting some really enlightening stuff. The BBC docs are fascinating.
