Hi
I'm wondering if anyone here has any insights on the following:
I've heard vague reports that using Beatles samples is absolutely not allowed (as in, even were you to go through proper channels, there's still not a chance in hell), but I don't know anything else... or why that supposed fact is "common knowledge."
Who says No? Did Lennon? Has McCartney? Is it Ringo or Harrison? What does
Jackson have to say about it, and doesn't it ultimately end up to be his decision? (He owns the catalog, no?) Or is it up to someone else who I'm not factoring into the equation?
About to do an episode of SAR where it's everybody sampling the Beatles and I want to at least spread the right RUMOR.
anyone?
thanks,
nelson

"...Malaise mostly arrives in the way these things get talked about and consumed, reterritorialised so they reinforce the canon of 'great songs' and 'great artists'. Maybe it means that plunderphonics is officially over as an intrinsically subversive act and now should be seen as part of fan culture." - Drew Daniel of Matmos, discussing "bootlegs"
