What if Swedish artists were allowed to sample freely?
In the light of the recent Swedish developments it is a conceivable possibility that the Swedish musicians might get soon a permission to sample freely whatever they want to their creative works. While we don't know how likely this is, it is a possibility. Let's play a little with it.
A Swedish composer could sample say any fresh American big label music and use it as a material in her new original work of art. In Sweden her composition would be fully legal and she would not have to fear about being harassed or going bankrupt because of the samples she used. Would her art be fully legal also in America? If not, at which point of a p2p delivery would it change from legal to illegal?
And what do you think - would a Swedish composer have an artistic advantage over her American colleagues if she could freely utilize modern commercial audio material in her works?
