Thanks for clearing up the "stealing" part...
Whoever says "I donīt use samples" is a liar. Your Triton, your XV 5080 contains samples If you use a guitar sample, chop it up, cut it, do something creative with it; more power to you! But I would find it boring after some time, if my musicmaking was just playing some loops from the Total Hip Hop sample cd. I liked the "De La Soul is Dead" approach, where they listed all their sources (and got sued by The Turtles for the "You showed me" song). 1,1 million bucks (back then!!!) and ended up paying some 50-60 grand. Thatīs the "and fight to the death to get the credit you deserve..." part, just from the originators point of view
Even though I would love the sample-rights to be more "customer friendly".
