Making and Detecting Illegal Music

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sampling-is-bad-mmmkay dept.

Demona writes "Long-time music aficionado Dave Marsh has an article in the latest edition of Counterpunch entitled Sampler's Delight. Giving rave reviews to "Nothing to Fear", the latest in a long line of so-called illegal music, he also describes a "'major label waveform CD database,' which is capable of recognizing materials allegedly owned by the record label cartel." This database is allegedly why a UK pressing plant rejected the initial attempt at publishing "Nothing To Fear", which is comprised almost entirely of sampled material."

    Most Western music for the past 400 years has been created using the same essential building blocks.

    Right. If you play them all backwards in a tape player, you get your wife back, you get your truck back, and you get your dog back. Granted, it wasn't nessecairly trucks back then, it might have been a mule team, or a wagon, or a ship, but yeah, pretty much the same.
