Worrying about using old samples and the legal ramifications...

You assume to much about the people you’re interacting with.

You’re not really that direct, so definitely not a New Yorker. I’m still going with Portland because this is eerily close to something someone I met had said years ago.

Hey I asked him in the previous post, but he ignored that... Sooooo

Infinite monkey theorem
The infinite monkey theorem states that a monkey hitting keys at random on a typewriter keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely type any given text, such as the complete works of William Shakespeare. In fact, the monkey would almost surely type every possible finite text an infinite number of times.

yes, they might do shakespeare, but no one mentions infinite monkeys(or one monkey given infinite time) giving the world vanilla ice.
ive read the book.

the greatest genre in the history of time, wouldnt have given the world vanilla ice.

--------> What if the one posting is Vanilla Ice?

You are a hypocrite. The type of upper-middle class white dude that is all for BLM as long as "those people" don't live in your neighborhood. Fukkkin lame

You know nothing about me, and that's quite the assumption to make.

Not that I should be surprised since we're on the internet, but I think it's funny that so many who disagree are just jumping right to the insults and assumptions. Almost as if you have no arguments, have never actually thought about the subject before, and have just gone along with the status quo unquestioningly.

Here's a fairly decent article that lays out some arguments against the concept of IP, I think it does a better job of making the case than I could:

I also think this has some relevance here:

On another point: the assumption by many here seems to be that without IP, music has no value, and that's clearly not the case. The general position of most who argue against IP is not implying anything of the sort, or that people such as songwriters, performers, etc. shouldn't be compensated for their work.
