Is it illegal to. . .
 
Use other peoples beats to record too, as long as you don't go selling the recorded shit? Like an Eminem Beat

nah, i dont think it is illegal..

Thassarap 08-18-05 02:00 PM

if u buy the instrumental its prolly legal, but if u ILLEGALLY DOWNLOAD IT, then its prolly not

Well if you don't do anything illegal, you won't get a fanbase. :rolleyes:

I doubt anyone who would care about it would hear your track either way. And even if they did you probably wouldnt be worth taking legal action against to them anyway.

So whether or not its illegal is of no relevance to you.

yeah, like when dudes make mixtapes on other rappers' beats do they ask for permission or some shit?

i doubt it

"For Promotional Use Only" = less than 1000 units sold and not illegal in the U.S.
"Albums" with other's copywritten work = illegal and prosecutable.
