Dabatos,

Thank you for cooperating with us. Also please take the music out of your sound click page. Please read the information that I've attached for you. Because you sampled the whole instrumentation along with InnerVoices' vocals for the chorus, we have to figure out the amount for the license. This is how the music business works. Again, we're not trying to discourage you for using the sample, you just can't use it right now for performances, promotional, etc. Please do some research on how to sample songs. This would be a great tool for you as an artist. Thank you for your time.

Music Sampling

The court’s analysis is somewhat complex but concludes that no sampling can be made without a license or permission.11 The reason is not because of the copyright to the music composition in the sample, but because of the copyright to the sound recording. The court interprets the copyright statute, 17 USC Section 114, as prohibiting the copying of the whole or any part of a sound recording. The new ruling reasons that you should either pay for a license to sample a song with the original sound recording, or go into the studio yourself and recreate the sample with your own sound recording.

For many hip hop and rap musicians, the point of sampling a song is precisely to copy the sound recording of a well known song to give their song a certain feel or emphasis. The intent is to link their song in this manner to the earlier song in the listener’s mind. Most would not consider trying to reproduce the sound independently because it wouldn’t have the same feel. The Bridgeport Music opinion now clarifies that samples of original recordings must be licensed.

You'll never quit promotin' that song will you?

i aint promoting it... jst letting ya know bout it..

Fuck it, you probably will make em hate you but you can keep that shit up there.

They jus throwin out random threats hopin you some naive kid that wont know what to do an will jus give in an pay em or stop using the song. You're allowed to use it as long as you dont make profit off of it.

Demos are done all the time with unliscenced beats, they jus get given out as samples but not sold.

Dont let em play you. I mean they would never be able to find out who you are off those sites anyway unless you puttin up your Address on the site.

hahaha yeah.. but u sure they cant sue me??
