The booklet says the review was "Reprinted here without permission."<br /><br />Congratulations, you definitely deserve it. Your writing makes me very jealous.PQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14491626995530401441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879849149664932695.post-13916627236358942402011-10-16T12:20:51.882-07:002011-10-16T12:20:51.882-07:00This type of thinking is largely irrelevant to the...This type of thinking is largely irrelevant to the people who make and enjoy listening to music like this.<br /><br />We all know it is illegal, and know that he doesn't "make" it, in the way that people know and accept these realities of other types of sample-based music. that have been made for nearly 35 years.<br /><br />Madlib is not deluding his audience, because everyone knows it is a mixtape, and part of the fun is recognizing songs and, though this may seem too active for some listeners, the mystery of seeking out songs and samples and researching artists on one's own without knowing.<br /><br />Imagine if Madlib's record sales numbers were high enough that other record labels cared about what he did, and he needed to and was able to pay for credits?

But if these mixtapes feature works that are owned by copyright-holders who give no consent, we’re sort of slipping out of the land of legality when we sell them. <br /><br />I’m not sure I understand the “promotional use” argument. Who or what is being promoted here? If these mixes were promotional releases given free-of-charge, I think Michael’s argument wouldn’t hold as much water, but these mixes are sold for profit. <br /><br />I have a suspicion that if I made a mix of my favorite Yesterdays New Quintet tracks and sold the CDRs for $16 a pop, the cease-and-desist letter from Stones Throw records would be pretty terse.Joshua Waitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11620361992937539315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879849149664932695.post-284307686772145692010-05-30T08:32:37.244-07:002010-05-30T08:32:37.244-07:00This cd is a mixtape,mixtapes are made for promoti...This cd is a mixtape,mixtapes are made for promotional use. http://tinyurl.com/2el4gzd<br />http://tinyurl.com/22ntgqm<br /><br />links for identified tracks.creating mixtapes is not illegal.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08402917713126681514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879849149664932695.post-60508128775503142262010-05-10T19:58:28.085-07:002010-05-10T19:58:28.085-07:00No sample list?

A sample list would definitely soften the blow simply because it be an acknowledgment of the fact that he isn't responsible for the songs of the CD!!... retard kids around the world are going to think that this guy is the artistic force of the fucking last century simply because he's ripping off the best work of the last century, putting a beat over it and rapping. Madlib is dope and has skillz to pay bills but this is taking it too far. Paying 13.99 for this shit is literally giving your money over to a thief of decades worth of work by Brazilians and Portuguese artists. What a shame too, I was beginning to like his stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879849149664932695.post-74005807310931059702010-05-10T19:49:29.076-07:002010-05-10T19:49:29.076-07:00I like the way you spoke to the idea of Madlib eff...I like the way you spoke to the idea of Madlib effectively stealing intellectual property from the global south to the benefit of the global north. It seems really hypocritical for us to one hand demand people in other countries respect our intellectual property rights and on the other hand allow the blatant ripping off w. out acknowledgment of artistic ownership or his/her product, by mix artists such as Madlib. Trust me I am a fan of his too (we're talking about 50 plays plus on at least 10 tracks and owning practically everything he's done). The guy is a beast for sure, but this is frankly appalling. I'm with you on the ethical dilemma all the way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6879849149664932695.post-33177033863523629322010-05-10T19:41:42.002-07:002010-05-10T19:41:42.002-07:00I abolutely agree man.
