  One of them crazy Germans went out of his way to make a 'song' with 70,200 samples and registered every single one of them with GEMA (the German song writers assocition/RIAA thing)

  
  /\ the piece 'Product Placements'

  
  /\ a little video with his entertaining conversation with some GEMA employee...he needed 70,000 forms.

  mm...ok,
  so if length of sample is not an issue with regard to the law, then every single recording since 1952 is a violation because it uses silence, a clear usage of John Cages Four Minutes and Thirty Three seconds...
  Or a track I made in 1994, where the sample values go from 5029 to 5021 to 5007, normally this would last 3*(1/44000)ths of a second, but it is my work and I demand compensation once by bots have scoured the music of the internet and return details of the works that contain it.

  He did make a point, more importantly he created some hype and interest around the apparantly new fusion of 2 old ideas, namely musique concrete and music litigation. I found it quite a novel little artistic endevor, cause it presents the problems and inadequacies of the current system in 33 seconds of sound, and if anything it will fuel or seed more discussion and progress. Not that it should, or that that was the point, but his work is a great sideways ultra-condensed view of the massive global problem.

  not nearly as classy as what Autechre did when the Criminal Justice Bill was threatening rave back in the 1990's. The Bill specifically targetted raves and free parties 'wholly or predominantly characterised by the emission of a succession of repetitive beats' so they released 'flutter'...

  "Warning: Lost and Djarum contain repetitive beats. We advise you not to play these tracks if the Criminal Justice Bill becomes law. Flutter has been programmed in such a way that no bars contain identical beats and can therefore be played at 45 or 33 revolutions under the proposed law. However we advise DJs to have a lawyer and musicologist present at all times to confirm the non-repetitive nature of the music in the event of police harrassment."
