Maybe so but money is not the preliminary target.
sad but true - still i do not care so much about what "everybody" may do.
That's a big leap to make. I compare it to graphic
art like a collage
made up of newspaper clippings
THis would be like incorporating smples from movies or radio - this i
think, is just material - to reuse this to build something completely
new should not be restricted.
So if Trent
Reznor would take your tracks to illustrate the next Oliver
Stone Movie and would not trow you a single cent (from the some
10thousends he gets for it) and would not even mention your name but
claim to be the sole creator of the soundtrack that would be OK then...
If I had a license that allowed him to do it then that's my problem if
not then I would certainly follow it up and be excited about the
opportunity of getting:
a. associated with Trent Reznor
b. A big studio payout
c. Publicity for my original work
d. The chance to talk about it when I'm in the company of people I need
to impress... Not right, for
i would not use the corrupt and stupid "copyright" law to
get my claims in the first place but ask the user of my stuff for some
respect personally without a lawyer involved.
That's a good start but in most cases unlikely to get you any money. There really
is something between the established industry-slavery and
total unawareness of authorship.
True, but how many listeners know the difference between a song crafted
100% without any other artists work and a song that had a couple of
samples incorporated? For example. How many people would know the name of
the Artists Moby
sampled for his signature track? He is very open about it and has full
permission to use it, he even lists the original artist on his CD.
That is most honourable and should be standard at least for commercial
Productions.
By far the vast majority of people dancing and
listening to music have
absolutely no idea of the history of music apart from a couple of
Beatles tracks and a few of their favorite songs.
the vast majority loves Madonna and thinks, Bon Jovi is a Heavy Metal
Band - these majority-people are no reference to anything about music/art
On top of that telling other people on this list who have got the balls
to share their work with the community to *effectively* fcuk off until
they make something "Original" is an outright insult.
Anyone who backs up Ron on that one had better get ready to have a
fight, and I use knives so you better be packing!! ;-]
BTW I respect Ron and his work but I am not prepared to let that little
slight go by. tX is a highly undervalued piece of software and anyone
who uses it deserves more encouragement to do whatever the hell they
feel like with it. If a member of this list personally doesn't like
artwork that is made public here then they are free to criticize it but
telling someone to stop doing what they are doing because they are not
original is BS.
At leas I did never made such statement - i like the stuff you make and
it is OK with me, that you use samples from others to do so, still i
think that those others should not go unnoticed.
I have yet to meet a DJ who has not got a sample in
their collection or
has not been heavily influenced by someone else's music to the point of
having a couple of tracks that emulate or borrow heavily from the
"originator". In fact you can't really call yourself a DJ if you don't
have other peoples work in your collection.
I am not a DJ - combining found recordings to new tracks is a method,
that is invented in the 1950ies and i think, it is heavily overused
today. So i decided only to work with samples, i have recorded myself.
or an band with me.
I had some samples from apocalypse now in an older track and mp3.com
rejected the track - this I found somewhat silly for some Machingunfire
and a little speech is no music, but in the end I did not care too much.
In fact I have yet to hear any truly original music
being released by
anyone in this community. Should we all just give up now?
There are hundreds of tracks made in the community allready, that do not
incorporate a single second of any previously published record. DJing is
not the only way to make music...
