ethics question about sampling/bootlegging

crazycrate

by accident i found a beat that uses one of my original songs chopped up dilla/donuts style (no extra drums sounds, just made of the chops of the song).... of course it??s uncredited.... could i theoretically release that beat stated as remix paired with the og song without contacting the artist/label? like re-bootlegging.....

please let me know your thoughts...


thanks,

The mischief maker in me says HELLS YES. Do that shit for the fun of it. And anyone who says different can speak your piece. I dare you to make an argument that is in any way compelling.

Unless the person you're sampling from is a baller and can afford an attorney, sample with impunity. IMHO. That's a legal opinion, FYI.

It's cool as long as he's using violence.

thanks for all the opinions.....

@kinetic: how can you find an uncredited sample use by googling yourself?

ok, meanwhile the moral aspect cleared up and i??d definitely would press it up on vinyl and even sell it digitally as they did the same thing..... the question now is, what would be the legal outcome of this, in case there would be any legal action?

can you be really sued over releasing something that contains an uncleared sample of yourself

The lawyers will get rich the artists will get screwed.
