I remember that the guys behind The Pirate Bay actually made a service like this back in the days. You would submit a song and get a mashup back of cuts from other songs where each cut would be short enough to fall under fair use. I can't find any references to it online anymore though. Maybe someone else remembers what the service was called.
- codetrotter 5y agoReminds me of this other thing from years ago called “sCrAmBlEd?HaCkZ!” https://youtu.be/eRlhKaxcKpA https://youtu.be/eRlhKaxcKpA It splits music videos into small portions ahead of time and then later it reassembles them on the fly according to audio input.
- brutal_chaos_ 5y agoI remember when that came out, it blew my mind! Did anything public ever materialize from the project?
- rikkipitt 5y agoI don't remember the site, but it reminds me of the Girl Talk album called "All Day" – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Day_(Girl_Talk_album) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Day_(Girl_Talk_album). It was originally released as a free digital download. > Greg Gillis composed the album using overlapping samples of 372 songs by other artists. This article goes into it a bit more: "Girl Talk, Fair Use, and Three Hundred Twenty-Two Reasons for Copyright Reform" – https://jipel.law.nyu.edu/ledger-vol-1-no-1-4-pearl/ https://jipel.law.nyu.edu/ledger-vol-1-no-1-4-pearl/
- gardnr 5y agoNight Ripper is my favourite album by Girl Talk.
- stuntkite 5y agoI remember reading an interview with GT where he said he was NOT A DJ because he was a guy with a laptop and a bunch of lawyers.
- rkuykendall-com 5y agoI recommend anybody fascinated by this rabbit hole check out the album "The Grey Album," the documentary "Good Copy, Bad Copy," and the album "1987 (What the Fuck Is Going On?)". Or just the Wikipedia articles for them to start. Amazing world.
- chrismcb 5y ago"each cut would be short enough to fall under fair yet" huh? That isn't good fair use works. There is no such thing as "short enough" fair use had to do with how you use it, not how much of it you use.
