"as soon as you make money with a piece building upon long samples or
that you cover, you should pay a share to the original authors/producers"<br><br>would not agree with that, tbh. sounds like lawful jealousy!<br>in my view, you CAN pay a share, if you want to, but you should not be obliged to do that.<br>
<br>I understand that some or even many people might not agree with me on that one. But I also wonder how much of that disagreement<br>would come from actual analysis and how much from just the stereotype that if you "use someone else's stuff to make money, you now owe them too".<br>
<br>The concept of royalties is something I could never justify. A "royalties" concept is something I have never been comfortable with, as it has either a tendency to overpay or else pressure not to use the work.<br>
<br>Just my 2 cents.<br><i>(I will not be debating this here, so as not to turn yet another great LAU topic into a copyright discussion. Anyone interested can proceed to my site or write me a personal email.)</i><br><br>Louigi.<br>
