>Kraftwerk have lost a decisive ruling in their decades-long copyright dispute with Moses Pelham.>The case centred on a two-second drum loop taken from the group's 1977 track "Metall auf Metall," which Pelham sampled and reworked for Sabrina Setlur's 1997 single "Nur mir" without permission.>The European Court of Justice ruled in favour of the German rapper and producer last Tuesday, April 14th, Loop Rituals reports, concluding that such use can be lawful under the "pastiche" exception in European Union copyright law. The court defined pastiche as a work that evokes an existing piece while showing clear differences and engaging in a recognisable artistic dialogue with the original.>The ruling is expected to have significant implications for sampling practices across Europe, potentially broadening the legal scope for producers to reuse existing recordings without prior consent under certain creative conditions.https://es.ra.co/news/85004Always clear your samples, guys.
