Jay-Z Sue For Illegal Sample For Run This Town

That was before sampling laws were created.

You could get away with it in 1989. Sampling laws started in 1991 when Biz got sued.

I think the laws were in-effect prior to then because you could only hear this version on the 12" in 1986.....



But when the actual album dropped in 1987, we got this......



Hanna-Barbera didn't clear the sample of George Jetson's voice for the album, but Marley and Shan didn't get sued.

I cant call it man. I mean, if you take a look at 3ft High and Rising...

I do not know how that album could have possibly been made. lol They sampled any and everybody including Steely Dan. I do know that you cant get 3FT High digitally at all due to the non clearances. But if the cd is out there for sale somewhere you can get that... I just dont know how it all works

I do know that when Biz got sued in 91 that was the basic end to the sample without clearance thing took effect
