Dan Larimer 2.0 (Graphene Magazine #3) - Defining subjective qualities is what STEEM was made for - "Only public blockchains can secure private property" – This week’s Steemy and 1000 Brownies goes to: piedpiper
@quantumanomaly as a dj yourself, I'm interested in your thoughts on this subject given both our positions on being paid on property we do not own.
Analogy Time:
Say a man makes a chair 50 years ago and sells it. Or he made the chair last year and I bought it at a yard sale.
(Either way, in this situation I am going to assume that samples were purchased at some point. As an artist, I do not support piracy of music especially.)
Then, I buy the chair. I take the chair and I cut it into pieces and glue it back together or, more likely, mod podge the hell out of it, and that would be a "Jessamyn Orchard Original" to me.
Would I need to note the original maker of the chair even though it might be indistinguishable from the original--or maybe all I did was paint some original art on the seat of the chair--I've created something different than that product that I own. However, would your product be able to exist without the original?
The question is--how far can you go before the original maker of the chair comes at you with a chair? In this case the maker of the chair could be artist lawyers and the chair coming at you could be a big fat lawsuit depending on how much actual money the person generated from the particular track.
I'm not sure. Wild West Gray areas.
Are there not laws protecting DJs at this point? I feel like clubs wouldn't be able to pay a DJ to do a set at most places if samples weren't protected.
If you are manipulating it, as long as you give credit to the original artist of the sample that you purchased, I don't see an ethical issue with it. However, I hope there is a discussion that follows.
I also think there may be a limit of time the sample can be before it isn't legally a sample...not sure on that one.
@steemjesus Not sure if this contributes to the discussion of content, but here's a post of mine that could fall into this category. I'm playing the part that could be considered the sample and not entirely sure how that works, but here is the link for the sake of discussion:
This is in my top 5 favorite blog post on steemit today. It is 9 months old at the time of this writing and only has 44 votes which is sad because it is really a priceless piece of writing brilliance. As I delve into a greater understanding of Graphene™, an industrial strength software platform for deploying third generation cryptographically secure decentralized ledgers known as block chains, (http://docs.bitshares.org/) my thoughts run wild with possibilities for the future.

Interested in discussing this topic, @steemjesus.
