  • I believe the sample I used is short enough to avoid litigation

    Hate to break it to you, but you could use a fraction of a second from another copyrighted work and if the owner can prove it, they can start legal action. There is no “short enough” that makes an uncleared sample legal to use, just increasingly plausible deniability (e.g. I didn’t sample that snare hit from you, I made it from scratch). If the sample is distinguishable enough, you can’t really make that case.

    If you’re serious about making money from music, you’re gonna want to start clearing your samples (or using royalty free ones) before it blows up in your face.

    FWIW though, unless you make something that gets particularly popular though, first action will probably just be a takedown request rather than a lawsuit. If you happen to make a track with an uncleared sample that goes on to become reasonably popular though, that’s when they’ll come for a big sum of money.




  • The conspiracy theories are still just that

    The real issue has been the same since the 80s

    The ultra rich are getting richer and that makes everyone else poorer.

    Once they have accumulated enough wealth to price normal people out of being able to buy anything, society will be forced to reconfigure to serve only the ultra wealthy.

    Then we’re all in slums with relatively few options to ever fix the situation.

    We need to tax the billionaires out of existence before their simple existence breaks everything.

    Everything else is a distraction.



  • A stylophone is more of a toy than an instrument, really

    If you want a small synth that you’ll actually be able to use to make music and learn, I’d say look into the Korg Volca series. They’re only around twice the price of the stylophone, and are much more powerful in terms of what they’re capable of.

    There’s about 10 of them now and are very affordable for what they are, which is a combination sequencer and synth. They can also be connected together to sync up, so you could have one doing drums and another doing a bassline or something.

    Look into YouTube videos about them and decide which you think would best help you make the kind of music you’re looking to make.


  • It accuses the EU of going after successful U.S. space companies via the legislation, saying its rules “appear targeted specifically against U.S. companies due solely to their size, prominence, and successful track record of innovation …. such unfair and unwarranted regulations are unacceptable to the United States and must be removed.”

    Hmm, I wonder what draconian legislation this must be

    The EU proposed the law in June in an attempt to dial up regulatory oversight of satellite operators — including requiring them to tackle their impact on space debris and pollution, or face significant fines.

    Oh… “Don’t litter”





  • I’m in the process of switching to these since Tile chose violence

    No complaints so far, though Google’s find my network is still nowhere near as extensive as Apple’s due to them dragging their feet with this for so long.

    Though ultimately I hope someone like the EU steps in and forces everyone to make their networks interoperable
