@pursuee1 You are welcome. I loved the Bay area in the 70's.I grew up in Mtn View, Menlo Park, Palo Alto and Cupertino during this era.

Sampling is ripping off the work of one artist with or without permission (mostly without) and not paying or giving credit on their recording. How do they (rappers) get away with it? What if the original artist objects to his or her music being sampled? Where does the law stand on this? It's one thing to do a cover version of someone else's song where the original artist is acknowledged and paid a fee for the right but Sampling someone else's work is blantant unabashed thief in my view.

@stationranger More stuff from the mouth of Sir Paul on DangerMouse's Grey Album (meshed the Beatles' White Album with Jay-Z's Black Album):

"I didn't mind when something like that happened with the Grey Album. But the record company minded. They put up a fuss. But it was like, 'Take it easy guys, it's a tribute.'"

Reminds me of Det. Somerset, in the movie Se7en at the library.

"All these books, gentlemen... a world of knowledge at your disposal, and you play poker all night."

@stationranger Move the goalposts much do we and add more straw to scarecrows? Your original premise was that Sir Paul detested sampling. I proved the opposite. In fact, he's sampled other people's work himself. I never said Paul was a hypocrite. I said he would be if he disapproved of sampling while partaking in it himself. One more thing. Please stop with the hasty generalizations. Again, exceptions don't prove the rule.

Good song. Damn good song.

[stationranger]

McCartney (owner of his own music publishing company) i'm sure has no qualms about taking anyone who samples without permission to court. I doubt that makes him a hypocrite.

All too often those who sample do not ask, Kanye West comes to mind and it's an industry wide problem. This leads me back to my original post Sampling is ripping off the work of one artist with or without permission (mostly without) and not paying or giving credit on their recording. That's my final thought.

@computercornerplusNC In the case of your argument for ABBA, exceptions don't define the rule.

By the way, they gave the first clearance of one of their songs to the Fugees for the song "Rumble In The Jungle" featured in the Ali documentary, "When We Were Kings".

@computercornerplusNC Hell, here's Sir Paul speaking on sampling.

It’s exactly what we did in the beginning – introducing black soul music to a mass white audience. It’s come full circle, it’s well cool. When you hear a riff similar to your own, your first feeling is ‘rip-off’. After you’ve got over it you think, look at that, someone’s noticed that riff.

[computercornerplusNC]

@stationranger Well, if that were true, McCartney would be a hypocrite as he samples songs himself. A simple Google search would show otherwise. Do you guys ever check to make sure your info is correct before you post?

Here's Paul McCartney approving a sample of his song "Arrow Through Me" by The Wings in a Twitter, I repeat, Twitter exchange with Erykah Badu.

@computercornerplusNC Paul McCartney owns some of the early Beatles music though most is now owned by Sony and he owns all rights of Wings era and beyond. He disapproves of sampling with the music he controls. ABBA music is owned by Polar Music which in turn is owned by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus. Their 80's hit song 'Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie' was sampled in 2005 by Madonna with her song 'Hung Up'. She asked for permission but as a rule ABBA does not approve of artists sampling their work,

[computercornerplusNC]

@stationranger Whoever owns the song is paid a sampling fee. The

majority of artists out here that do all of the complaining don't even

own their songs. The songs are owned by the equivalent of patent trolls

they sold their rights to after squandering their earnings on bad deals

and years of alcohol and drug binges.

Some of these artists should be glad that their work is being sampled.

I would have never discovered a lot of their work and became a fan if it

weren't for sampling.
