Re: Samples and looping



Per is arguing the law -- i.e., the law protects composer's rights.  
Louigi is arguing about what he believes the law should say -- the  
composer gets paid by whoever commissioned the work and after that  
it's fair game. So, in the case of Hound Dog, unless Elvis had a deal  
with Big Mama Thornton to write the song, in Louigi's world, Elvis  
owes nothing for using the song. (If I've mischaracterized the  
positions, I apologize.)
