Question

Post by legspin »

A few questions that has been floating around my head for a while now are:
when you say you are not allowed to comment on samples, do you mean samples that Orbital have used, or that they have given, or just in general?

and;

if it is just in relation to Orbital, why? This would appear to be the perfect place to discuss such things and I would be surprised if the Brothers Hartnoll objected.

Answers on the back of a score to......



I can feel a 'No Comment' coming on :D

Yeah, I would guess that too - any samples that haven't been cleared could end up with royalties being paid...

Of course, that doesn't stop us (minus Loopz's involvement) of discussing the samples on the forum! :D

You mean people use uncleared samples deliberately? :shock:

No, I think Rich was trying to be funny about your 'Hearsay' comment ;)

Now they SHOULD be jailed!

I also suppose that comment on the ones taken with consent would be prohibited, on the grounds that this would imply that those not commented on were lifted on the QT.

Just a tad on the frustrating side. :tongue
