Exacttly. If they'd talked to the stones before release, they likely would have gotten the riff for a fraction of what they wound up paying, if they had to pay at all. The Stones had to go after them, or risk setting a precedent that would lead to more copying and sampling of their material without permission. I saw an interview with teh Beastie Boys recently and they talked about how they contacted the original artist for every single sample that goes onto an album, no matter how small, unless it is so distorted and warped as to not represent the original material in any way any longer. --sam --- Fernstudio <fernstudio@...> wrote: > > No, they did not.
