I don't know, big record labels are screwing over and ripping off
musicians all the time. But this case seems pretty open and shut to me. I
sent them email last week saying all they have to do is find a good enough
lawyer, sue sony, and they'll probably win.
what other action would you propose? Start sampling Sony music? We all
probably already are. They own about one-fifth of 95% of all the recorded
music everywhere.

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispose himself of it." - Thomas Jefferson
