“Copyright Criminals” Film Examines Sampling As An Artform, Crime
Featuring interviews with Chuck D, DJ Q-Bert, Pete Rock, Afrika Bambaataa, Aesop Rock, Mix Master Mike, De La Soul, Danger Mouse and a bunch of stuffy lawyers, this documentary examines the history of sampling in hip-hop music, and how the legalities behind it changed the entire landscape of hip-hop music. Perhaps the best quote in the trailer is El-P’s: “If you can catch me, then I didn’t do my job”. The film is out on ITunes now.
