EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

I do know some people at Virgin and I\ufffdve been DJing for long time and I have 
encountered many samples on my records that I know they haven\ufffdt payed rights 
for and I mean a lot of f****** samples!!!

That\ufffds is also in the HIP HOP industry and I don\ufffdt want to sound as they are 
theifs because I think as long as they steal something and it sounds good I 
don\ufffdt care at all because I\ufffdm not making their samples anyway and when I 
hear a good track I don\ufffdt give a shit who they have sampled if they wouldn\ufffdt 
have been sampling me off course than I really would have been a happy man.

There are also major HIP HOP acts from Sweden that have sampled even bigger 
artists and they haven\ufffdt payed for anything could it be the same with major 
HIP HOP artist from France, England and Germany??

I play house music and at least 60-70 % have samples wich haven\ufffdt been payed 
for!

I think it\ufffds weird if you people think that all artists pay for their 
samples since I\ufffdve seen this for the past 15 years and it\ufffds getting bigger 
for everyday could this have something to do with samplers??

I think so anyway as long as there are people with samplers they will always 
sample of stuff that aren\ufffdt their own off course they sample stuff from 
others that\ufffds what I have seen meaby I\ufffdm the only one playing House, Techno 
and HIP HOP stuff???

The best,

Alvaro Villalobos.

Ps. I don\ufffdt know if you people heard of Public Enemy but there are quite a 
few samples there as well. When Lenny Kravitz (Virgin) produced one of 
Madonnas track he sampled of Funky drummer from James Brown, Public Enemy 
said that Madonna had to pay for those samples but Madonna said that their 
track also had the same sample from Funky drummer what happened to James 
Brown and his band I don\ufffdt think they ever payed for those drums and they 
have been sampled of about 1000 times now and not everybody is paying for 
them could this has something to do because of the samples are in sample 
CD\ufffds and everybody has them or what? Ds.
