Copyright and the Ethics of Sampling: The Lesson of the Czech Music Scene
Abstract
In this article, we investigate the attitudes expressed by members of the Czech electronic music and hip-hop scenes (musicians and music producers) regarding copyright and how copyright affects their work in terms of sampling or remixing third-party recordings. We present their opinions on what measures would help improve the situation regarding the complex settlement of rights. Lastly, we investigate the ethical standards upheld by producers when sampling or remixing third-party material vis-à-vis the use of copyrighted music recordings and related rights.
