pshhhh, does anyone really pay attention to this though?
i'm sure there's shit like this written about all the thousands of records people sample, it didn't stop premier or pete rock.

had a mess about with some of these samples last night, some great harpsichord, hand drums and double bass samples.

True that - and for the most part, many of the tunes made with uncleared samples don't have to worry. If, however, the song happens to blow up huge (as has also been known to happen by fluke) then expect the guys who made these samples to come knocking with outstretched hands...

...and Pete Rock & Premier also have seriously high powered lawyers to handle this stuff for them.

But the Creative Commons license is cool because they're not asking for royalties or a fee up front ot anything, just acknowledgement if you release a track using the sound. Shouldn't stop anyone from using these sounds at all. Rather, just wanna make sure nobody has to pay a rasclot thief lawyer.

what do all those little blue links under each set of samples. I know they download them, but whats the difference between each?

44.1K v5a, v5b, v5c, 22.5K, 16K ??!

They're the different sample rates provided.
"Each of the 6500+ samples is 16-bit, WAV, Mono, normalized to -3dB, and provided at 3 sample rates - 44.1K, 22.5K and 16K. "

Agreed. You gotta get all Jack Dangers on 'em and mutate them beyond recognition. That's most of the fun with sampling anyway...
