im beggining to realise why a lot of people i respect have left this place.
u lads need to manner up if u want to keep this community alive.
thats a pretty generalizing statement there lag,

"U lads" - i presume you're talking about the lads who your arguement is with? and if so how exactly are they responsible for the community here? believe it or not, there are a lot of people here with the same opinion and open-mind.

nowhere, in all my years involved with differant types of music, have i ever read a rule that says "you cannot do what you want" - if someone like krimewave chooses to sample a record (whatever genre) he's free to do so, whatever happens over that sample is no business of anyone but himself, how do you know that he hasnt paid royalties? im not saying he has or hasnt but you're sticking your nose in where frankly its got no business being.

critique his music as much as you like, you're entitled to and thats encouraged, but dont question the guy on his integrity & call him a thief.
