Good Copy Bad Copy - What Constitutes Fair Use?

Quote:

the person who is the real music maker: the producer,

The hell's that supposed to mean?

A well-mastered album can make a band sound better, but a producer with no musicians to create music is nothing.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

There are places for producers. But calling producers "the real music makers" is completely false.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Quote:

Producing is where the money is at.

Another statement that I do not contest. My point being that the people who actually sing (however poorly), recite vulgar poetry, or play instruments are the ones that make music. The producer's role is analogous to the conductor of the orchestra - he can shape the sound, control what happens when, but at the end of the day the musicians make the music.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
