Making and Detecting Illegal Music

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."

Write your own damn music.

[Pay The Fuck Up!]

Jay-zus, people, can't you see that sampling without permission, and then selling the copies, is illegal for a reason? Imagine if they did that with your music and then didn't just put it on kazaa but actually sold it. You'd be pissed, no?

Fortunately there's an easy solution. Write and sell music of your own, and then the problem goes away. Hard to believe, I know.
