[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 144433, member: 9240"] Funny that they should allow it for an artist/photographer, but God forbid you sample 2 seconds of a song with ties to some media giant with paying royalties!! Justice is no longer blind, it's purchased. Truth is, I have no problem with "appropriation art" if it is done in terms that carry the spirit of our former copyright laws - the ones before ownership in perpetuity. It allows plenty of time for an artist to be the sole beneficiary of their work and then allows others fair access after time has sufficiently passed. Current copyright laws are almost as ridiculous as the way in which they are upheld. For a great social commentary on it, I highly recommend watching "RIP: A Remix Manifesto". Available free on Hulu.
