I really like that Madonna link.. for me it seems like Madonna is an expert at finding the right inspiration, taking, slightly changing it and making something bigger from it. Is that not what we all do?? we hear a cool lick or looping technique and "steal" it and use it in our own music.. Copyright is sort of strange.. if a steal a part of a Scofield solo and record it over the same changes with a backing that tries to copy the orginal and a guitar tone that tries to copy Scofield it is OK. BUT if i sample those, say 5 seconds, and use them in completely different context it is not legal. Remix should be as legal as stealing a part of a melody and re-recording it.. in sweden this is now a official religion http://kopimistsamfundet.org/ Copy and paste is holy.. remix is even holier.. kind of .. interesting at least.. So it is my religious right to remix... (and by using CC license we allow remixing.. .)

This way I can keep my sentences short and not mess money with my music. My misguided trip that was 2 years long to the world of copyrighted music was mistake, and I regret it. From this day on, all my compositions belong to the world, my CC licenses today deny only the commercial distribution, but this license tempts me the most http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ It is commonly known fact in the world of electronic music, that if the "big" producers want your work to be used under their projects, they take it, they pay the lawyers afterwards. Dont know if these things are true; http://www.aishamusic.com/lawsuit_many_artists_madonna_stole_from.htm but there are many cases in the world of music in which "if your product is good, we take it and pay you afterwards, maybe not"-attitude is shown. |
