just got a new doubty...



sb told me when some artist left his music work, he has 50 years of 'credits'

so, if those 50 pass, everyone can use his/her music samples.



is that right? i mean, i believe this guy, but i need opinions and info.

also i wanna know how and how many $ is the penalty if u use sth without permission.

i also wanna add the Setting Sun thing, that The Beatles thought they sampled Tomorrow Never Knows, but, it wasnt?



thats it 8)

I remember tom mentioning on the Breezeblock show that they got into trouble over Hey Boy Hey Girl - and they have to shell out 30% of everything they make on that song.

Also, I clearly remember reading somewhere that u can life samples upto only a few seconds ((I think 25 or something) for media purposes - promos etc. I remember in the mid nineties the mtv and channel v promos were 90% chems and prodigy.

Yeah I remember Channel V having parts of the Jailbird remix for promos for a year or so.

You still owe royalties if you use it in a commercial - that's how Moby made a load of extra cash from Play

basically, unless u make any serious money out of a sample you ve used the chances are the owners of the licence arent going to sue you. look at schooly d (sampled for block rockin beats) - i remember seeing an interview with him and he said he never recvd anything for his voice being used in BRB!!

This one?

Where it's said:

"The Chemical Brothers? I haven?t seen the cheque yet. The first time I heard the Chemical Brothers was at home, sitting watching the NBA play-offs and they begin to show the programme and I hear, ?Back with another one of those block rockin? beats?. I?m like, ?What the fuck, turn that shit up?. I rang my lawyer and was like, ?Turn the goddamn finals on!?. They were just in the states end I spun at their gig in Philly."



Can you say which track it is where the sample came from?

and what about my doubties?

That's sort of true, copyright sort of expires after 50 years. I think you can use a sample from something recorded 50 years ago, but you can't claim it's your own (I think, the law is very ropey around this subject)

die die die Beatles

LOL it sounded awful...



thats was a joke 8)

I'm sorry. I'm from Belarus. I don't speak English very well. Please, anybody help me!!!
Some days ago i heard the part of a song "Block rockin' beats" in the video of a belarussian lottery (I can provide a link to this video).


I want to ask, if not violated in this case copyrights Chemical brothers? If violated, I am ready to assist in their defense, because I am a lawyer and also a fan of The Chemical brothers.

Thanks.

Wtf ??? If you are a fan you just have to be proud to hear some chems song anywhere, let the copyright problem to assholes from majors company...

This is a rather strange situation... Andrey, let me say two things:
1) This thread has been dead for a long time and was discussing an entirely different copyright matter than the one you've brought up.
2) Is this really that much of a problem? We have a "Chemical Spotting" section for the explicit purpose of discussing things like this... it's never been a cause of outrage before. It's entirely possible they do have permission to use the song.
