My argument is not that it's (Sampling) immoral or wrong, just that it means you don't get any credit for "writing" the song.
If I write a book and the most memorable two chapters are word for word "The Idiot" or any literary classic, I did not write the book. Even if Dostoevsky's Lawyers gave me the okay.
It doesn't mean they should be punished or the music shouldn't have an audience, it just simply means to me, I will not take the song serious as a notable work of art or music achievement.
P.S. Wayfarer, be less serious...everyone's friends here

If you're posting in the music forums make sure to be thoughtful and expressive, if you're posting in the lounge ask yourself "is this something that adds to the conversation?" It's important to remember that a lot of people use each thread. You're probably not as funny or clever as you think, I know I'm not.
