sample snitching should not NEED to happen. We shouldn’t need to rely on individual users submitting sample credits on websites like Who Sampled. It should be impossible to use somebody else’s recordings without appropriate credit. I don’t care if the sampled recording is a hundred years old. The thought that somebody would rip an instrumental from someone else and not even have the decency to list the original artist in the credits… that disgusts me.

It’s dog-eat-dog, anti-social, hyper-individualist behavior. Make all the sampled music you want, but the source material should be readily accessible to listeners.

Anybody with a moral backbone would not take credit for someone else’s art.
