"Idealist" is often prefixed by "hopeless"! We'd have to know what most
people think to know whether we were extreme. Dare I say that to comment
extensively about anything non-mainstream could be labelled "extreme".
Anyway, it's the usual accusation - it's like being called a lefty lesbian
man-hating hippy. Easy peasy boxy woxy.

"I know what I think is fair in terms of sampling and clearance. I think it is fair to clear sizeable usages but you can't clear 8 samples in a song. That's just impossible, you can't give everyone 50%. If people were more reasonable I would clear everything but it's all about lawyers and what they think they can get. It's nothing to do with any kind of musicology." - DJ Shadow
