EXS 24 Logic Sampler Users Group

Well I\ufffdm sorry to say this but I know numerous labels from America not 
paying for samples and that\ufffds are facts since I know some people around 
those labels!

So Mister Persing just because your stuff is legit it doesn\ufffdt mean Bin ladin 
is if you undertsand what I mean!


I also know of at least 10 artists that I know personally they have released 
a lot of stuff very much sampled and filtered and so on and they haven\ufffdt 
payed a penny for that!

Meaby you can track them down even though you meaby haven\ufffdt heard of labels 
such as Relief Records, Guidance Recordings and so on... the list is to 
large for me to right it down and those two are just from America there are 
much more in all over Europe but off course meaby you really think they all 
pay do you really think so Mr Persing!!??

The best,

Alvaro Villalobos.
