Maybe some1 should check out all Timbaland art and music he was involved in on 'scene inspired' (to state it nicely) ideas?

Strange... I always thought Amiga 500 demo logos were "inspired" by heavy metal album covers...
Guys... it's on the front page of Rolling Stone Magazine... Jesus! :)

Wow... Nice going.
Well, this should get some attention. Noticed the linked blog has some picture dead due to high load? ;-)

I'd rather say rollingstone.com don't like web standards, but hey that's a detail for a web site ... wait, no.


anyway, well done on the press coverage.

havoc: I thought that people would understand it was a website when I linked do it, but yeah, "website" should have been included. It's still there though. Small, but there none the less.

I'm not really sure we can count Opera as a standards browser as long as they maintain the IE scrollbar-3d-* "css" support -they were slamming Microsoft for everything else they poisoned the Web with, but *this* was cool all of a sudden? As much as I love their presence on the Wii and handhelds, that little gem really irked me :)

Anyway, I really, really want to see this on more high-profile news outlets. Still no joy here in the Netherlands, save for the blog mentioned on the pemulamu list.

Okay, I don't have an account at the SA-forums, so can someone who does please knock some sense into this individual:

Quote:
Timbaland has a near perfect track record of clearing samples. Why the hell would he not clear this one that he would probably have gotten either for free or for a tiny amount of money?

My guess is that there's a worker at the Record Company, let's call him Joe. Timbaland gives a list of samples that he used to Joe. Joe is supposed to clear them all. He clears most of them, but it's 4:45 and he wants to go home. The only one that's left is the obscure C64 synth that nobody had ever heard before this thread. I bet that even most of the people who voted for the track at the competition wouldn't have noticed. Either way, he decides that it's so obscure that nobody will notice or at least nobody will sue about it. He reports all samples to be cleared and goes home.

Seriously, the chance that a sloppy worker at the Record Company is to blame is 1000 times more likely than that Timbaland did this. Timbo has been sampling for ages and respects it as an art form. He also respects the people who sample.

The record company guy, on the other hand, probably doesn't even like Hip Hop, chiptunes or whatever genre Nelly Furtado's album would be placed in.


What this person, let's call him Mr. Genious, says... is complete bollocks, and anyone who has ever spent more than two seconds in the music industry will immediately know this.

Sure, it's easy to blame someone else ("It couldn't POSSIBLY be Timbaland! He always does the right thing!") but the very very simple fact is; the person who actually makes the music signs off on a publishing form that quite simply states "Yeah, I made this, now PAY ME!"

So you see, Mr. Genious -- you can blame Joe Schmoe Studioworker or Even Steven Record Exec, but the fact is that the person with the credit... is the person with the credit. In this case there are three of them; Timbaland, Nelly Furtado, and that other guy. If you take the credit, you also take the blame if something goes wrong.

Gah, how I'm frustrated by that guys SA-posts. :)

Also; if you do _not_ get a clearance for something, you only have one option and that is to NOT use it.

since the recordcomapnies already said "its a pure coincidence" instead of saying ops our employee joe made a misstake, its not what happend. =)

Has there been a statement from the record companies?? I must have missed that. Where is it?
