ok. I forgot to say this the other day... well in college I had to take a music copywrite class, w/ a REAL music lawyer and do you know that your files from the computer can be use in court to prove that you're the orignal owner or maker of the beat... but you have to have intent on sending in the copywrite form...but ever file you make has a date and time stamp as you all may or may not know...and they can compare the time stamp from your beat w/ the other persons and see when was your file created and when was theirs.... if their file was created after yours, you have a good case to go w/, and all you need to do is prove how they came in contact w/ your beat, and their means of jacking it, like the kid did[ie: slowing it down, the posting on their website, the meetings] then you could win.... the posting are proof too, and by law if the courts order it, they have to hand over their server and they'll go through ever file and see what the deal is....but the kid has a case if it's real, he's just too lazy to "GET UP, GET OUT, AND DO SOMETHING"...
And speaking of sampling... what do you think of this..."I got a story to tell" "they said cant use it because of a problem with a sample...All we had to do was take a piece out, whick in the original sample was really just the harp part. I knew if I could get it to the point where it's unrecognizable, we were good.So I went in, grabbed the guitar and started filling in the pieces. I took the same melodies. I just changed a few of the instruments. I moved it from harp to the guitar, put a little bit of harp in there, but anybody that knows that original record is probably scratching their heads, like, "How the hell did he...?"......NOW! IS THAT BITING OR WHAT????????? -XXL April03.... DAMN!
One Love. and I am out.
