All of this has been discussed here before and basically it comes down to two things: 1) Creating new songs or art piece by sampling other artists and selling those 2) Bootlegging artists and selling those For me there's is huge difference between whose two, but of course there are other factors. Bootleg might something that is not available or is impossible to obtain. Or bootleg might me well made and remastered. For example, Ultra Rare Trax is bootleg but is still considered as a collectable item. Nevertheless, no matter how good or rare bootleg is, it's still not the same thing as creating something totally new from old. -- anttil. On 23.9.2013 14:39, Bert Klauninger wrote:
Well I have to say that I do agree with what Xavier said. It is one thing (although probably not legal as well) to distribute this stuff for free among the small group of list members, but it is another thing to put such items on eBay for sale.
And: I'm sure the KLF did not make money from sampling the Beatles or ABBA :) Sampling is not comparable to selling loads of music without holding the copyright.
But other people might think different about this. Nevertheless, no need to shout!
Best regards Bert

NO THEY DID NOT!!! the way i see it is that a bunch of dudes on here are uptight that their precious low circulation collected shares are in danger of being exploited and commercialized on, just as KLF did to others. only difference is Jimmy and Bill didn't bitch about it. just lighten up and let karma run it's course...

Well i don't mind paying someone for the price of the USB stick, postage and time taken.
I do take issue however on people making money on The KLF's work. I find that objectionable.
However, i will recant on the R&R Volumes that are original remixes, then if its the remix artist selling them and getting the cash, thats cool. --XavSent with Airmail <http://airmailapp.info/tracking> To: "klf@mailman.xmission.com <mailto:klf@mailman.xmission.com>" <klf@mailman.xmission.com <mailto:klf@mailman.xmission.com>>
