'This is a sampling sport': digital sampling, rap music and the law in cultural production

Article Abstract:

The intertexual artefact of rap music and digital audio sampling technology question the intellectual property laws which center around the concept of single authorship. The technology of sampling challenges the beliefs on the concept of copying and process of production, while rap music reveals the differences in the idea of creativity and originality, which varies according to the culture. The law should allow unauthorized sampling to remove discrepancies in existing intellectual property laws.
