6 seconds of fame

The Amen Break has been sampled more than 400 times since the 80's, mostly in hip-hop, jungle and drum & bass. You may have hummed, danced or even rapped to it thousands of times, but neither the drummer or composer ever got a dime.

Could be that this a good thing. Sharing is a powerful force and a prerequisite for innovation.



PS Thanks, Eyvind.

PPS Even though I agree with the arguments in this film, I still think end consumers should pay for the music they consume.
