"Unfortunately, by this time the statute of limitations had
run out, and he was unable to sue anyone for using the beat
in their music. In this era, there were no copyright laws in
place regarding sampling like today."

statute of limitations, what? copyright goes back to the
ragtime era, thanks to disney, dunnit? i can't get past this
awful writing

Seen this already. I'm torn and like and dislike this in
equal measure. I really appreciate the need to somehow pay
respect for a moment of music that has been such a huge
resource for artists in genres so close to my heart, but I
equally dislike the fact that it's probably going to be
largely overlooked by the people who made money from its use
in the first place, and just supported more by enthusiasts
(punters) who funded the artists success in the first
place.

It's a lovely gesture but sadly too late.

PS. Fuck the Statue of Imitations.

it's a nice thing to help out some broke elderly musicians,
but the tone of reverence for these guys kind of pisses me
off. the whole thing is accidental. they won the lottery;
thousands of bands like this never had an amen break moment.
must be right irritating to have your band's whole legacy
reduced to twenty seconds of drum break that none of you
thought much of at the time.

meanwhile, the actual drummer is dead (the drummer is always
dead), the writing on this chumpstarter is inexcusably poor
for something involving thousands of pounds, and there are
better things to donate to. the people donating to this are
the sort of folk that DJ Hardcode (RIP) would have referred
to as "hipsters"
