The above video brings out some of the more social/cultural and perhaps racial elements of copyright, copyright infringement, borrowing, fair use, etc. Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, Elvis and more are all examples of white artists that to varying degrees of flagrancy ripped off the works of earlier black artists and made millions of dollars of doing so. Compare this to the licensing fees that hip-hop acts pay to clear samples for their records and it seems to me that what we perceive to be fair use vs. infringement has cultural and racial dimensions, in addition to the economic ones others have already pointed out.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05652824085802653117noreply@blogger.com
