You state, that to respect authorship is naive/nonsense/pointless
because there are so many people out there, that do not care for it.

right?

You speak of "artists" as if  *every* artist or at least
 a vast majority of musicians needs samples to make music.
Yet it is so, that the vast majority of music being made does not
incorporte such material.

Now for the last time:
>completely unnecessary
For you, but not for those,
whose work you use to present yourself as an artist
if you incorporate the work of others WHITHOUT mentioning
them at all - didnt you get all the credit of the listener and
those other get absolutely nothing and

do you think, that is cool and decent?

everybody may use open source software for whatever
everybody may want to do - i do not speak about licenses.

Stuff like Music Maker is designed for people, that simply want to
consume something whithout bothering too much about its origin.
So if you do not care for the originators of the tracks, you use,
to present yourself as an creator of art, you might want to use
a software, that is designed for easy consumtion.

And yes! the whole concept of open source is the opposite of leeching
- - it is respectfull collaboration for mutual advantage
and public interest.
