Not having gotten emotionally involved in this diatribe, I still clearly 
see
one of the original premises, which was that Negativland and their ilk
should get away with what they define as their free use of material created
by others.  Never have I said that I didn't Like anything; Law should have
less to do with taste, I'd suspect.

And what I said was this:

Sampling Without Permission Of The Original Artist (Or The Owner Of A Work)
Is Theft.

This is sort of like an argument that I had years ago also, but it was with
my 4-year-old sister over watching the Brady Bunch.  Or was it a Mac user?
Ah, nevermind.  :)
