Copyright Smack down
During the presentation Mr. Franzen spoke about copyrighting and its impact on the Hip Hop genre. He spoke about how groups like De La Soul failed to get clearance for one of their samples of the folk band the Turtles before they released their album and was eventually sued so badly that it destroyed their careers. He also spoke about groups like NWA, and how they still do not have clearance for others to sample their album because there are so many samples used together its too costly and unrealistic to sample them.
