yup, "hey, I've STOLEN a Michael Jackson bassline" :P and things like
that... ;)))
anyway people has been sampling for almost 2 decades now. Maybe it's time
for another change... the first wave of mass samplers was about 10 yrs ago
with house music djs... now maybe there will a be a further generation of
more creative people... because the more sampling become affordable, and
the more you'll have to search for "originality"... :)

well... if you'd do an intelligent track using the same Police samples used
by Mr.Combs, maybe some people would appreciate it much more than "I'll be
missing you".
As we said appropriation is already being used by pop. If you can do a
BETTER kind of appropriation, just do it!
