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.pdfengAttribution 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/copyrightsamplingethicsremixingelectronic musichip-hopText1740-1712
