Don't cute it up though, it's not really "sampling" when someone has no intention of spending the equivalent cost of a fast food combo meal on an album. It's stealing. I guess by this whole logic nobody at all bought albums in the 90's and earlier because they weren't able to sample them beforehand lol.
Combo meal! I never thought of it that way. Haha. And yes, I remember having to rely on faith when buying an album. Nowadays, you can sample a whole album 15 seconds at a time, and I think that's plenty.
I wholeheartedly support artists getting compensated for their art. I'm glad the big rock stars are on board, but the music industry is so splintered now, I bet a lot bands are getting record deals but not getting rich; they need every sale.
