Today’s lecture was all about copyright, sampling and originality. Dan, today’s lecturer, played some very interesting videos to keep us all engaged, intertwining it with some academic research. He then gave us an activity, to listen to Girl Talk’s song This Is The Remix and then to list as many song samples that we could find. I found this activity extremely fun as this is my forte, something that I really love to do.

Sammy, Elise and I came up with a list of about 8 or 9 samples from the 3 minute track, including artists such as:
– U2
– Jackson 5
– NWA
– DMX
– Ace of Bass
– B.o.B
– Lil Jon
– Lil Kim

There was about 15-20 more that we missed, but it was still a fun task!
