Digital Sampling and Fair Use

            In the article “Beyond Fair Use” (2011) University of Cornell Law, the authors implied various techniques in which freedom and piracy may be combated. As such the very same arguments are made within the radio interview that was on digital sampling of musical pieces. Within the scholarly article, there are four implications to the foundation of fair use. The first implication is to define the purpose and character. The second is the nature of copyrighted work. The third is the amount and substantiality of reproduced parts. The Fourth and final implication is the impact of use. These four implications alone are amidst the very most dire and desperate arguments and verbal war fare that is ongoing seemingly without much public acknowledgement. Although these implications should be of most high regard and importance, during the radio interview the only implication that seemed to have much impact is that of implication four. These defensive stances that record labels and other companies have dawned attribute them with an invincible greed mentality. Although within the scholarly article of “Beyond Fair Use” (2011), it was shown that many people have tried to avoid potential career ending threats by retaliating with arguments of increasing creativity and imagination.
