When Do Bands Decide They Don’t Want To Be Sampled?
Just something I’ve been thinking about lately. Most bands, early in their career, would benefit from being sampled by a reputable artist (say, Girl Talk). If you were in a new band, and Girl Talk sampled you, you’d be pretty happy, right?
When does this emotion change, from happiness (gaining attention) to anger (having your copyright potentially violated?). I guess it depends on a number of things: how much attention you already have, how much the sampling artist has, and your personal take on the whole sampling/copyright issue.
Anyway, more than anything, this post was just an excuse for me to create a graph considering the different ways that a musical artists opinion might change (stays the same, slowly becomes angrier, or suddenly switches).
