they would stand to make more money off of the re-used music (with the percentage split from the former and new artist and the revival of interest in the former artists’ music publishing catalog) than sitting and waiting to see if that new Lex Lugar beat takes off.

These suits are isolated incidents, usually because someone at the publishing company didn’t do the proper clearance.

Seriously Timbaland & Jay ain’t losing sleep over this. Timberland is also using a second sample in this song can you hear the surf style guitar….

How uncreative are all of these people. So what sampling is part of the hip hop roots. It should end today. Guys like Lil Wayne (with the Rolling Stone sample) and Jay Z (with the Abdel Halim Hafez sample) should pay up and stop making excuses and the producers need to come in with fresh ideas…spend more time creating then at the studio buying 100 cds at a time digging for samples.

Hahaha!!! #WTT
