@TheTempleofNature a lot of musicians who make their own music oftentimes uses parts of another song to create a new piece. it's safe to assume that at least 50% of the music Led Zeppelin recorded came from old blues records. Did any of the original musicians that they took the music from get paid? No, and one guy, Willie Dixon, had to sue Led Zeppelin just to get his name on a piece they stole.
At 40:22 Ronaldo Lemos says that the brazilian portuguese word "brega" means "kitch" (the subtitles are wrong, the gramatically correct spell is "kitsch") or "cheesy", but other words that could fit in are "tacky", "corny" (used by DangerMouse at 10:29 along with "cheesy"), "trashy" and "gaudy".
I think "gaudy" would've made a better translation, since the mainstream of Brega is to be "too showy", as can be noticed on the huge sound systems, pyrotechnic effects and the performers' clothing.
Much easier, learn to play an actual instrument, record it, cut, paste, edit, sample, distort it, or whatever, is much more a lazy ass attitude to browse from a sample library than just put on the record what you actually have on mind. Unless it was of course a conceptual work, that gray album is not my style but I admit is awesome.
@TheGiftofvision I've got to say, what you're saying makes a lot of sense to me. I'm thinking of things like Coldplay's song talk, with the riff from Kraftwerk's Komputerliebe. No one ever complained about that, in fact I have it on good authority that Chris wrote to Kraftwerk asking for permission and they were honored. Anyway even if you don't ask, I think if you use elements of a song without directly sampling it, it's generally seen as an homage and there's no theft issue.
If you want to sample someone's work, ask them, it's just polite.
