> i totally agree with you that your VCR/DVD situation sucks, and that the DMCL is a totally stupid piece of legislation. however when Eminem samples something he doesn't steal it....artists whose songs are sampled are usually given a royalty fee, as well as mention in the album cover :) and if Eminem IS sampling something and not giving the original author credit, he can be sued, simple as that.

Oh. I didn't know that, although it makes a fraction of sense. Still, it all has to do with money, and he's making money with someone elses work, even if he did pay for it. I suppose that's like selling a game that uses another game engine, just a heavily modified version of it. Or am I making a stupid analogy? I think I am.
