CTW Members Claire DC Posted May 12, 2005 CTW Members Share Posted May 12, 2005 What I think claire is saying is that she nicked (alledgedly) a riff from masmada "drop the bass now". and put it into one of her own tracks, called something else I would imagine. 175716[/snapback] Yep that's what i'm saying.

None of the stuff on the cd sounded/s familiar & as I say I think it's good & I will now look out for this Masmada to compare sound 175736[/snapback] I can't remember the name of the tune from her off the top of my head, i'll find out though.

CTW Members LiquidEyes Posted May 13, 2005 CTW Members Share Posted May 13, 2005 re "nicking" bits from other people's tunes... There is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. The right way is to get in touch with the copyright-holder and get permission before you release the track. Otherwise you're breaking the law. If you want to cover a tune (but not sample it) I believe you can do this via the MCPS/PRS Alliance without having to talk to the copyright-holder; this way a fixed percentage of your proceeds goes to the copyright-holder automatically. (Will have to check my exact facts on that one.) Yes sampling has always been a key element of dance music, but there is a big difference between lifting somebody else's work, barely changing it and passing it off as your own, and actually changing the riff/vocal/loop/sample/whatever and doing something creative with it. Ultimately, a serial freeloader WILL become unstuck eventually. He/she will either get their ass sued, or at the very least get on the wrong side of people in the industry.
