when i said "harmony korine looks like he enjoys drugs"
i meant really heavy shit. heroin, shit like that.

i dont get that impression at all from this board. it seems mostly weed + alcohol, with the occasional coke and psychadelic venture

Are you intentionally leaving out man's best friend, mdma?

nope haha, just forgot about it

Please don't get your jimmies rustled.

i'm not as worried about privacy as everyone else on the net seems to be. fuck it, that's why

im not sure why zomby caught so much shit for "test me for a reason" & sampling that unknown youtube vid

but oneohtrix point never sampled a bunch of unknown vhs tapes and get nothing but praise

(not talking about natalias song that was fucked up)

ye, its funny the things people get righteous about in dance music.

if the floor is moving the rest is arbitrary

life is too short to care about such things

yes, people too worried about money

worries in the dance, still

I'm totally late to hearing about this but I don't think its that black and white. You have to consider the kids emotional attachment to creating it, the fact that he probably doesn't have an established career like most the people being sampled. If I'm Daniel Licht or Akira Yamoaka what the fuck do I care if people sample me? Its just not the same in this particular case.

anyways what I came to say is this:

Character studies are shit
Gran Turino
The Hurt Locker
Max Payne 3
etc

Character studies are what weak writers turn to when they can't formulate more than one interesting character.
"Oh no, the plot isn't weak, its a character study"

he sampled a youtube video of a kid play a microkorg and then the kid got but hurt because he said zomby never asked for permission originally and then wasn't nice to him

It wasn't even like a written piece, he was just showing off his toy online

i don't think it's quite as bad as what he did with natalia's song, but still a bit cuntish if you ask me

sure, but at the end of the day, it's still not fair for someone to take your work and claim it's their own

this scenario is quite different from sampling imo, cause it's not like zomby actually did anything to the sample. there's no artistic merit in just copy + pasting of someone else's synth work and calling it yours. if he actually cut it up, rearranged it, etc. and did something artistic, that'd be a whole nother matter

sampling is not stealing
