Can you own a sound? As hip-hop rose from the streets of New York to become a multibillion-dollar industry, artists such as Public Enemy and De La Soul began reusing parts of previously recorded music for their songs. But when record company lawyers got involved everything changed. Years before people started downloading and remixing music, hip-hop sampling sparked a debate about copyright, creativity and technological change that still rages today.

  • Hi Kembrew, Very well articulated about this subject. I'm looking forward to seeing the documentary on PBS. Having worked on doc & feature film myself, I know that music copyrights are always an issue. I see filmmaking as being an artist, so I will not steal from a musical artist to make my own art. If their music is that important to my film, it's worth paying them some money...absolutely.
