I’ve heard conflicting accounts about their knowledge and royalties.
While I’m certain they didn’t receive royalties from all artists, I heard many 80s artists did. And Amen Brothers took others to court. So they would have know about the use of the break.
I will admit I haven’t done any independent research into this matter personally. Just echoing accounts I’ve read and taking their reports at face value.
- corndoge 8mo ago> And Amen Brothers took others to court. Who is "Amen Brothers"?
- input_sh 8mo ago"Amen, Brother" is the name of the track it's from, so the parent is likely referring to the band.
- corndoge 8mo agoYeah, the band is The Winstons. I'm curious how parent knew that they went to court when they don't know the name of the band.
- hnlmorg 8mo ago> I'm curious how parent knew that they went to court I didn’t say I knew they went to court. I just said I thought I read about it. Looking into it again now, all I can find is a 10+ year old article about a crowd fund (eg https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-34785551 https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-34785551). So I’m likely misremembering what I read previously. > when they don't know the name of the band. I just got the name of the band muddled with the name of the song. I also sometimes get get the names of my friends and loved ones muddled. But that doesn’t mean I don’t know them either. I’m just shit with names. I do however remember every useless number I learned as a child. Including phone numbers to kids TV shows. Human memory is weird :-/
