Saw Cabin In The Woods for the first time last week. Seriously? Where has that film been all my life?

@avclub-9a190b2d3a7c7fae28cef4c7bf821b12:disqus I said that you shouldn't have to clear it, not that you don't.

@avclub-b3d29f8f22c60a4b2c5fc2b1691c1d62:disqus That's an interesting question to ask, but when you get to stuff like the aforementioned albums it's pretty much infeasible to cover that cost. There's a distinction IMO between hearing a snippet of a song that you think sounds cool so you sample it in a song filled with…

Expanding on that point because I realise I may be contradicting myself a bit in that post: I don't consider a 2 second sample worthy of any kind of financial compensation, let alone this ridiculous situation. Even without the litigation: "Here's a 2 second snippet of a song, that'll be $62,500 thanks… mind you only…

I get that, my comment was simplified, however I find it completely ridiculous that artists have to pay such ridiculous amounts of money for a single sample. It negates creativity and is completely nonsensical. When it's something like "Ice Ice Baby" or whatever that songs actually called and is a song that rides…

Seriously though, fuck TufAmerica and fuck sampling laws. We'll never again see an album like Paul's Boutique or Endtroducing, at least not one that's going to make the artist money. Fuck that shit.
