DJDeedle presents Deedlecast, the best mashup, remix, and retro-future sound.

Aug 4, 2006

 

Taking samples from other people's records is one of the most widespread and controversial aspects of computer music.  The concept of using snippets of taped sounds to make collages of music is not new. Nowadays, it is easy for anyone to sample sections of recordings from LPs or CDs to make new recordings using your computer sequencer. 

But is it legal?  

Deedle's stance on this question can be found at About Deedlecast.

Feel free to ponder or ignore the question while you enjoy this week's Deedlecast.
