a label sending out mix tapes...great.
but my point has nothing to do with mixing the soungs fluidly
on a tape or not (ie. making it sound good - not different).
those individuals who mix existing songs onto a tape and sell
them - like at street fairs here in NYC - are stealing from the
artists...agreed ?
even if these individuals substancially change an existing song,
they should be paying some royalties to the original artist...
but then your getting back to the law - ie. what is a "substancial"
change in a recording.
-ecg.
