If a company sells a GUN and a consumer buys a GUN, then what do you use it for? KILLING.....
Samplers weren't invented for that purpose. They were pioneered in the late 70's by a company called Fairlight to use an emulative type of digital synthesis using fourier analysis. This idea was quickly expanded by the Emu company into the first commercially viable sampling-only machine--the Emulator. The intention was to play previously recorded instruments to achieve sounds impossible on analog synthesizers.
Years before this, DJ's would spin break beats by hand using a turntable. Once they saw what samplers could do for them they went ape with it. However, this doesn't make it any less dispicable from a creative standpoint.
Samplers sample sounds--it is up to the consumer to decide to do it illegally or legally. Just like gun ownership doesn't make you a murderer unless it is used in that manner.

Sampling to me takes a lot longer to put together than my original stuff. But because it is harder does it make sampling more artistic than my original material?
My opinion is:
Originality = Art
Sampling = Craft
Art will always be original, it comes from within. Craftsmanship is putting parts together. Is one better than the other? It depends
Again this is my thought, I know not necesarily anyone elses.

Get over it GB... hip hop started out as a form of artistic expression. Groups like the Beastie Boyz and Run DMC used sampling as an artform from the very beginning... they spliced and sampled sounds from dozens of songs to make 1 beat. If you think sampling is stealing... you're in the wrong forum.
That being said... anybody have any other ideas. Can you strip vocals from music during the mastering process?

Federal law has decreed the outright sampling of another's artists work for pecuniary and artistic means to be illegal and violation of copyright laws.
Note that you can do more with sampling other than stealing music. I consider that type of 'music creation' to be a cheap fraud at best, and criminal at worst.
Real musicians write and perform their own music, not steal someone else's and calls it 'their artistic expression.' That's just lame.
