I'm not criticizing musicians. I'm criticizing people who think that a 
remix using uncleared samples is not music, original or desirable.

IMO that is a very high level of snobbery. A similar attitude that 
people who spend years learning their scales by rote direct at a 
musician who has no formal training. The kind of crap that rock 
musicians usually reserve for DJ's and vice versa.

I happen to be a rock musician and a DJ with a level of formal training 
but not at the tertiary level. I have seen a lot of musical snobbery and 
the attitude some people on this list have towards remix artists is of 
the same flavor.
