Sampling per se is not wrong, and I was being a smart ass when I said my
neighbor was sampling James Brown... and that was WRONG...
.......TACKY would have been more precise....
 I think you'd have to see my neighbor (A jimi hendrix wannabe ) to

Never mind.
What I MEANT was it seems STRANGE to us these days that someone should sue
for a copyright infringement regarding "He's so fine", la la la -- when
these days sampling is done regularly.
Comprendezz????
