Man I read about 5 pages of this argument and its making my head spin... It's really taking alot of the fun out of this techno stuff so I stopped reading.

I think sampling is completely 100% fine as long as you can make that sample "YOURS" by fukkin it up somehow....

Personally I would never feel good about releasing something that clearly revolved its sound around an untouched loop or 2 of an existing track or tracks that were out there....

But man alot of the times this seems to be a gray area with people using the same sample CDs!!

Honestly... Its a combonation of 2 things I think... Both sides of the spectrum can probably benefit by this simple combo:

1)People need to take their heads out of their assess....

2)People using samples should use common sense....


P.S You all just need to sample the geezer playin his bass guitar at the train station and you'll be a-ok I think. hehehe....
