this will be one of the biggest cases in music history... both of them...
a few years back a few artists sued because of samples. it USED to be, you could take any sample, as long as it was under 4 seconds long, and not have to pay for it. well after that case, don't matter if its .5 seconds, you have to pay. that changed beat making for the whole industry
now imagine if these two dudes win their cases.. that sets precedent.. which would now make it so you can't use other people's beats for ANYTHING.. even mixtapes or free shyt.. in other words, no more freestyles, unofficial remixes or anything like that. what 2 chains was talking about, hating other people remixing his song.. well he'd be able to actually sue people and win now. along with 99% of dat piff.
of course the person would actually have to sue. but i'm sure with the declining profits in record companies, they'd be sure to sue for their artists since they own the masters
