Kraftwerk lawsuit in Germany rules artistic freedom trumps Copyright
- 6stringmerc 10y agoIn case somebody thinks the title is misleading, here's text from the article that is important: >The court argued that composers should be able to create work without financial risks or restrictions. Sampling is therefore allowed, as long as the new work does not directly compete with the sampled work and does not financially harm the patent holders, the court ruled. That's a pretty clear change to the notion of Copyright and compensation.
