SXSW 2010: Why Hasn't the Record Industry Sued Girl Talk?
Loading...
Uploaded by sxsw on Jul 2, 2010
Since the 1991 Grand Upright court decision, it has become conventional wisdom that the failure to license a music sample is a sure path to a lawsuit. Yet, last year, Girl Talk famously released an album with more than 300 uncleared samples. Experts consider the changing state of fair use law in music through the lens of the question: why hasn't Girl Talk been sued for copyright infringement?

Video would be a lot better if they put someone on this stage who would speak with a functional understanding of copyright law.

@GLeNss I am an artists and I do care. I don't want to create something that is musically complex and unique just to have some talentless DJ/rapper idiot sample my music.

I'm sitting on a dildo.

@GLeNss its not allways about money alot of the time artists get annoyed at other artists takeing credit for work they have done and have no right to use

@GLeNss I guess they would care if that's how they made most of their money. But maybe it isn't?

@AlSween girl talk is white? im pretty sure

Ok I just listened to some Girl Talk and I think it's racism. They going after black americans but not the euros who sample in the same ways as hip hop producers do.

Do artists care? Or is it the moneymongers that care cause they think their profits are diminishing?
Fuck the RIAA
