**** like Mozart and Beethoven?? Are most classical pieces copyright free now that they're over the 70 years threshold and the artists are dead.

If yes, then y when I pull out a record like 'Mozart Great Pieces Played By The London Mafia Orchestra', for example(!), the record contains a duplication not allowed message on it??

Is this a copyright on the actual recording as opposed to the composition??

i think it's on the composition.. i had this converstation with a friend of mine... the thing is, if u chop correctly, how would the composer of the works know who u are sampling from... for example, ROMEO AND JULIET'S score has been covered quite a bit, but how would orchestra A know you're sampling from them instead of orchestra B, C, or
D? they just don't know cuz a lot of classical records i have sound so much alike it's hard to tell the difference.... but u never know... i suppose who performed it know their sound...

So can they or cant they?

Why are pieces that are replayed and released have copyright on them?
Is this on the recording not the composition???

If no one buys the rights after the 99 years or whatever then yes. But if the rights are bought, so that they can press more copies to SELL. Then yes, they MIGHT get u Practice yo chops and tweaks

NO NO NO. its called public domain. No copyright on the composition. but you can only use certain performances. Do you think all these orchestra's have to pay royalties to record and sell beetovens 5th. NO. Usually recordings that have been in the score of a film or other copywrited material, are off limits, but others you can use with impunity. BUT **** ALL THAT ^^^^ SAMPLE EVERYTHING DAMN THE MAN

Sh*t, everything is somebody's... Somebody owns copyrights... But if you sample it, chop it, mess it or stuff like this, noone's gonna get at you for that 'cuz they won't know it... Sample it and make a tight ass beat, that's what I'm talking about dawg
