In the Mark Ronson podcast he explains that almost every song has a little bit of other songs beats or lyrics throughout. Each song has a little bit of pieces from other songs along with this artists originality. I believe you can use beats and ideas from others as long as you make it your own, add your own spin to it. He said it's not copying but it's taking something and creating something new. As long as your song is unique from others it is okay to use inspiration from other artists and their songs.

Mark Ronson said in his podcast that no music is truly original anymore. He talks about how it is okay to take from others' music, but you have to give it a new spin. You can take bits and pieces from one song and from another one as well and mix them together to create originality. It gives the new music familiarity and freshness at the same time. Sometimes, you have to get consent from the original creator or else they can have you copyrighted.

The Mark Ronson podcast explains that sampling bits and pieces from other music is okay and leads to great new music as long as you are adding your own meaning to it and trying to make it different. It is very tough to not be influenced by all the music you here so original sounds and beats are extremely hard to come by. You still need to be the creative with how you sample something and that is part of how you make it unique and more of your own. So I believe every artist can be inspired by other artists and work off of them but I wouldn't necessarily call it stealing unless they aren't making it unique and not changing it. I think you can "steal" a lot and call it your own if you are truly making it unique and giving it meaning in your own way

The Mark Robonson podcast basically says you can steal it as long as you genuinely transform it and add meaning. They talk about how no piece is 100% original. And it's acceptable to steal as long as you give it a new interpretation and don't just straight copy. It allows people to utilize the same beats across tracks. If this weren't the case, copyright lawyers would be in heaven.

Listening to the podcast by Mark Ronson he explain how almost everything came from something else. This does not mean though they took all of the music and chords from one song and completely used it in another. When songs are sampled they use small sets of lyrics and change their beat or notes used to sing them to make it their own. These ways of changing music is how we get original songs released today. These artists find the inspiration from somewhere else no matter where that might be then they create based on this work.

According to the speakers in the podcast, artists can take small parts of other songs, but it matters how they use them. They explain that borrowing sounds or lyrics is common in music, especially in sampling, but it shouldn’t just be copying someone else’s work. If an artist changes the sample and adds their own creativity, it can become something new and original. The speakers also point out that artists usually need permission and must give credit when they use someone else’s music. Overall, the podcast suggests that it’s okay to “steal” a little as long as it’s transformed and not taken without respect.

This podcast is based on how other peoples work can be sampled and made into your own kind of thing. It also explains originality and how everyone can sample something but change it in a small way. Sampling allows different artists to utilize the same beats/songs across tracks. Even though the art isn't completely original its still new and their own. Nowadays nothing is 100 percent original.

During the podcast, Mark Ronson talks about how everything creative has taken some inspiration from past things. He also mentioned that even if a song takes aspects of someone else's work, it can still be unique.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the podcast, I think people steal or take someone's idea in one way or another. I think the reason being is because people hear and listen to other people's original music and like it which makes them want to use it in their own way to make up their own song. This is because people are influenced by their environment around them and what they do in their daily lives which makes them incorporate different types of ideas from what they hear around them. In conclusion, I don't think artists are necessarily stealing from another artist because in order to be considered stealing I think the song would have to be near exactly as the same song without any revisions or tweaks to it. People use different types of things to edit it into their own song which could be the voice or sound of it.

In the podcast, it explains that Modern music will never be 100% original because most music is inspired by and uses samples from other music. This is ok to do as long as there is a clear difference and the original creator gets the credit they deserve.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the discussions in the podcast, work can be sampled and uniquely made as your "own". Most songwriters use previous work to create a foundation for their art and make something of their own. Samples are used for inspiration, like songs where the beat is from another genre of music. Within the art industry, most of the art created is based on other creations, and this cycle allows future generations to work off each other.

# data[].attributes.body
This podcast describes how sampling is originality. When everyone samples a specific beat or tune, they add their own creative twist to it to make it unique. Lots of songs take a small part of a rhythm, but turn it into something better. I don't believe this is a big concern, knowing that everyone is influenced by something no matter what industry it is in.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how there isn't much original music left. In my opinion, you can take as much as you want as long as you can hear a significant difference from the original. Make it unique and put your own spin on it.

In Mark Ronson's podcast, he talks about how past music beats and samples are common in modern music songs. Lots of past songs are sampled in current music. I don't believe this should be considered stealing from another artist. These new artists simply use beats or small portions of old songs. As long as something is unique in itself and has small parts using those similar beats or a few lyrics should be allowed. It shouldn't be a big deal that artists can be influenced by others and as long as these songs aren't overly sampled music is still very unique in every song.

# data[].attributes.body
the podcast talks about the influence different songs have on an artist. Almost every song has been influenced by other songs but it is not stolen. They just use it as inspiration to turn it into something new and slightly different which is why its okay to use other music as long as its not fully copied.

# data[].attributes.body
In Mark Ronson's podcast, they discuss what makes something original. However, this is a pretty complicated topic. A lot of original music made today is directly derived from other music, and with how much music is being produced, artists can often create a completely original piece that sounds very similar to other pieces. As long as it's made with permission or is different enough from other pieces, it can be considered original.

# data[].attributes.body
In the podcast, they mention a lot of artists who have something from other artists within their new songs. Though it depends on the amount of stuff that is taken is the issue. If the new song uses just one line or a couple of words, then it is okay, but if it is almost half the song, then that is where the issue lies. Chords are a different story because you can't just copyright chords. A lot of songs use the same chords, but slightly off, to create a new pattern and rhythm.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about artist talks about artist sampling music and it brings up the argument if it's original. I dont think it is as long as its not too much. As long as it's your using it to inspire you, and not steal work, I think its fine.

# data[].attributes.body
In this podcast, it talks about how many artists take or are influenced by something they hear. I believe it is reasonable to take a small sample and create something new while keeping it as original as possible. Lots of songs have similar or the same samples but as long as the song is still original it is okay. Inspiration and copying are two different things and many artists listen to others for inspiration. Overall it is okay to sample as long as the majority of the song is original.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how most artists have been influenced by other artists' work. It is not that it is stealing because that seems more negative than it really is because most artists hear something they like and then add their own twist and make it their own. You might be able to recognize beats from other songs but the song overall will be different in some aspects. As long as people aren't over sampling, it isn't considered stealing because everyone found inspiration from something else that they don't own.

# data[].attributes.body
Inspiration and copying are two different things. if the sample is used for a relatively small portion of the song and you are using it as your own thing, like the king crimson sample in power by Kanye West, it is fine. The main thing is that the new song provides value in a different way than the original. This is true in both covers and sampling. Some covers can switch a song's genre or style, and those are the interesting ones.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks a lot about how artists sample music and material from one another, to create a newer or better product. Many newer songs that have "Evolved" are sampled from old ones, or the beat itself is reused. Ronson thinks credit is due to any artist who has an "original" song sampled, but with the evolution of music this is simply a big ask if the whole song isn't totally ripped. Every piece of music has been inspired by old music dating back to its conception, so it's just important to create new lyrics or spins on old music to ensure it's unique. New music thrives and people enjoy it just because it's been inspired from older developments and theories since its conception.

The podcast talks about how artist use songs and their ideas to build from each other to create something new. Also there are many songs that have sampled like beat and lyrics.

# data[].attributes.body
According to this podcast, all artists do use some sort of work from another artist, however, it talks about how they make it into their own. So most artists aren't directly taking the same exact sound and beat of another artist, but they are using something similar for what seems like inspiration so that they can make something of their own. I think a small phrase or group of beats is acceptable but nothing more because then artists aren't very original. I also think that as long as an artist is just using a beat or phrase from another artist to get inspiration on a song, then that is acceptable.

# data[].attributes.body
In the podcast, Mark Ronson, talks about how little truly original music there is. Most if not all music has at least a tiny piece of something you have heard before. People will hear ideas and build off them to make a new idea. Not something completely original to them but still a new sound. Music inspires other people to make music.

# data[].attributes.body
This podcast talks about how every piece of music is taken from other music and puts its own twist on it. He discusses the issues with always building off of other people's work, as there is no definite line between being inspired from another song and fully stealing it. I think that as long as you do something to the song that makes it unique to you, it's fine to use other music.

# data[].attributes.body
In this podcast, Mark Ronson talks about modern music samples. Most modern music is samples and has the same beat as ones before. Sampling is perfectly fine as long as you put your own spin on it and it isn't a copy and paste of the sample or inspiration. Credit should also be given as a sign of respect to the original piece's writer/owner.

According to this podcast, anyone in the music industry can take songs from other musicians. They say in the podcast that you can't really come up with your own music even if you tried. DJ's do it the most because their job is to sample songs to make them better but this is very common

# data[].attributes.body
In Mark Ronson's podcast, he describes how a lot modern music samples old rhythms and beats. I don't think it's fair to say that every artist "steals" something from another artist, since "steal" has a negative connotation, and modern artists are simply inspired by old hits. Inspiration is what keeps music and creation alive, and I think it's perfectly acceptable to listen to older songs and be inspired to use similar ideas when writing your own song. I like when modern songs sample old ones by using a snippet of a rhythm for their song, while NOT just reusing the old song's lyrics. Because I believe there are a finite number of chord progressions, especially if you're not using a synth, lyrics are what make a song unique. As long as every new song's lyrics are their own and not just copy & paste from the song it's sampling, then it's perfectly fine.

# data[].attributes.body
This podcast talks about sampling and creating an evolution for something you like to give it a chance to be new again but in a different way. If it's almost the same song, that will understandably be considered stealing but if something small or unnoticeable becomes sampled, I don't believe that would be considered stealing because they are making something new out of something small that they discovered. Also, despite the times people try to make an original piece, a lot of the time, there's already someone who thought of it first.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the podcast, many artists take ideas and songs from each other and build off to make them their own. Lots of songs are sampled from other songs even in modern days. For example, I have noticed that songs my parents listen to have been sampled in today's music including beats and lyrics. While listening to the podcast, Ronson talked about how there are a lot of problems that come along with sampling and ensuring that they receive the proper credit. If not credited, original artists can take these people to court and receive money because they arent being praised for their hard work.

# data[].attributes.body
In this podcast, it explains how it's hard to find something that's truly original when it comes to music. Most songs come from something you've heard before. Mark Ronson explained in the podcast how in music, people take things they hear and build off of that. It gets more complicated because people can take pieces or ideas to a certain extent. Listening to other artists, it inspires others to create songs similar to what they've heard before, sampling songs. This sometimes can create a bigger problem on how much sampling of songs artists can take before it's too similar.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the podcast, they believe that all artists can sample songs and lyrics from other artists and create their own unique version. This is considered okay as long as it's not a plain rip off of the original version. Instead, you should take ideas, flow, and lyrics from other songs that match your style of music. It's about being creative and original, but again, there’s nothing wrong with taking inspiration from other artists.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast mentions that it is common for artists to sample snippets of other songs for inspiration or just as intros or outroes for their songs. I believe this is good for music because it can bring new ideas for future genres and even bring snippets of music from decades ago up to date. The podcast did a good job of giving examples in multiple songs by artists. I feel after listening to this podcast that many songs are not 100% one artist's whole idea. Even if it includes music or sampled music it may still have very good potential.

# data[].attributes.body
During the podcast, he talks about how whether the artist wants to admit it or not other people's music influences the lyrics/beats of their own songs. If something sounds good to you it's hard to kind of get that out of your mind when trying to make music. So artists kind of take what they like and twist it into their own song however it is still influenced by what others have done before them. Even if you try to be original, that line or rhythm probably already exists somewhere. But as long as the artist isn't copying intentionally it's usually not a big deal to be influenced by other's music.

# data[].attributes.body
In the podcast, Mark Ronson talked about the hot topic of sampling music from other artists. An artist will take an original song and alter it in some way to make it their own. The argument is hard to fight because every artist needs help to create something as long as it just samples it to an extent. Most music that artists make only sample a couple seconds of another song, so this isn't bad. I believe that if the song is made in a unique way with its own originality to it, it is acceptable.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast says most music is inspired from other music. It is ok to sample from other music as long as there is a clear difference. It is very hard to make something that someone else hasn't already done.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the podcast, I believe that most artists take something that they hear and love and build on it. I think it is acceptable if they take a small sample and create something new. It is impossible to not be influenced whether you like the music or not. Especially in this day in age where music is trending especially on apps like TikTok and Instagram, it's a given that some people will take that sample and make it their own. I wouldn't say it's the right thing to do, especially those who straight up copyright, but its inevitable if you really look at it.

This podcast talks about how far along music can travel through other songs. From a single snip bit of la di la di it was heard in many songs from snoop dog to Katy Perry. It's saying that no song is truly original because we take influence from everything around us. So each song that is made probably has some part of it that is similar to another song. This can get messy if another artist believes that someone has copied the same beat or something else and wants to get lawyers involved. I think as long as you don't take specific lyrics or have the whole backtrack be the same as another song it's fine. No matter what new song is being made it's going to have something from another song in the past because all music is recycled.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how artists take samples from other artists as inspiration. This is where their ideas come from to create new music. True originality is an extremely difficult thing to come across since people get inspiration from varieties of things from all over, so it can be difficult to pinpoint and credit where certain things come from. No matter how hard an artist can try to be original, there will be some factor from somewhere that is influencing them in some way and it is nearly impossible to be completely unique. I think it is okay to take ideas here and there because it's unavoidable. However, there is a fine line between borrowing and straight up stealing.

# data[].attributes.body
In the podcast they take about how people get influenced by one another. Now days its hard to have a original idea because chances are someone else has already thought of it. So they talk about sampling which is when you take small snippets of one persons song and uses it in their own different way in their own song. Its an acceptable practice if you don't use too much of the other persons song. It has to be a reasonable amount and not as noticeable.

# data[].attributes.body
In this podcast, it talks about how you are influenced by everyone else's music whether you like it or not. It also mentions how hard it would be to make something that someone else hasn't already made. There are thousands of songs made every year, and you are most likely to make something that someone else has already made. I think that sampling is perfectly fine, or even taking chords and making it your own, but if you copy a song's lyrics in whole, or the backing track in whole, that is copying. In general, the podcast was talking about how sampling has to be done in every song either subconsciously, or on purpose, but it is good because you just take things that you love and build upon them to make them your own.

# data[].attributes.body
Mark Ronson seemed very positive about the idea of sampling, but he did warn of the dangers of over sampling. While there is lots of good music to be made out of sampling, Ronson made it clear that the original artist has to be credited and the new music has to sound original and unique. However, Ronson did admit that he has to intentionally put blinders on when he tries to make original music because of how difficult it is to make new music in the modern landscape. At some point an artist will probably recreate a melody they have heard, even if they tried their hardest not to be influenced by outside factors. Personally, I think it is permissible to sample, but the original artist has to be credited and the new song has to change the sample in a way that sounds unique.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the podcast, pretty much every artist takes samples and gets ideas from other artists. The artists take these ideas and samples and work their own style into it. Songs can start out as being original, but can change because the music world is constantly changing. I think changing some lyrics to a song and the style is totally acceptable, with permission from the original creator. Other than that, there shouldn't be any reason to completely copy an artist to make a profit.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how most artists used samples of other music. Artists borrow it and make different creations to make it unique. So it lets artists reuse the same beats but they have to make it their own. Usually songs are based on older songs, but with a twist of the beat, lyrics, rhythm, and more from the artist. That makes songs more enjoyable when having a piece of classic music.

Sampling music has become extremely popular in modern-day music. The podcast explains that many musicians become inspired by certain things they hear that others have created. According to the podcast it is not considered stealing because they build off of the sample to make it their own. The artist doesn't intend to completely copy the original, but simply build off a part that they specifically like. However, if the artist does not make it their own, I think it would be considered stealing because they are not changing the sample in any way, but still using it to gain a profit.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on the podcast, we learn that most music takes some sort of inspiration from the past. We see this in samples and beats in today's songs. While they take inspiration, each artist uses it to make it unique and their own to convey their ideas. If an artist uses too much of something from the past, I don't think that should be allowed because at some point it just becomes copying. Taking ideas and inspiration from the past is okay as long as you just don't copy the whole thing.

# data[].attributes.body
This podcast discusses how rare a truly original song is in today's music scene. Whether it be through directly sampling sounds or drawing inspiration almost every artist is somehow influenced by other artists in every song they make. As music continues to evolve, artists will find ways to use more unique samples and sounds. This will result in many conflicts among artists that might be using other artists' work in their own songs. I believe that as long as the sample is used in its own creative way it truly is not considered to be stealing.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what we learned in the podcast, many artists use other people's work as inspiration. The podcast discusses how modern music will never be completely original. However, I do not believe this means they are stealing someone else's work; they are just forming ideas from it. Sampling should be allowed because it allows people to create new music.

When it comes to music you can sample off other songs. Most songs build off of other songs and add their own twist to it. Now its hard to find your own sound without taking others and making something new.

# data[].attributes.body
In the Mark Ronson podcast a lot of artists reuse each others music. Artists make songs that they know the audience will like so they will sample songs of one another. It is not stealing because they will pay out the artists who originally came up with the beat. It honestly hurts the artist who is sampling another artist because they lose out on profit.

This podcasts speaks on the debate over whether or not sampling music is stealing. The speakers explain how important it is to take pre-existing songs/sounds and make them your own as a way to help develop modern music. They also claim that flat out stealing music is not okay, unless you give credit to the original writer. There is only a finite number of chord progressions possible that please the average listener, so similar sounds are imminent.

The podcast tells the listeners that it is acceptable for artists to take stuff from other peoples songs, but only in moderation. If you want to take a certain beat from a previous song you can, but you have to make your own twist on it so you are not completely copying the song. It is the same with lyrics. If you are going to use lyrics from another song you have to moderate some of it, and give credit to the owner of the lyrics or beat. artists do this very frequently and it is a lot more common than you think.

The podcast talks about how sampling takes something that we love and uses parts of it to turn it into something new. For example, this could be taking some lyrics or beats of a song and putting it into a new song. When the artist puts something of their own into their sampled song, it makes it theirs. Nowadays there is still some legal issues with sampling songs because of originality, but that will work itself out.

Based on what Mark Ronson talked about in his podcast, I feel different music artists borrow and take from each other all the time. I think it's okay to take small bits and pieces from other artists at times, but it's important to still be unique and make your own original music. If you are going to use another person's ideas, I think you should give them credit and make it clear you didn't come up with the ideas yourself.

The podcast mentions how much you can get away with sampled songs. It describes how many artists you have other songs from the past to improve their song(s) with other tunes from past songs. It emphasizes how hopeful artists feel about how much money they would make if they used other sounds and songs. At the same time, this can come with legal issues such as having to pay a lot of money over a long time. At the same time, many of these new songs with past songs included may not seem original because artists aren't using their ideas in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
When artists take ideas from other artists it doesn't necessarily mean they're stealing their ideas. If the artist is creative enough to make the piece unique and their own then it isn't stealing the other artists pieces. They're using it for inspiration, but they have to make sure they don't cross the line of straight up stealing their pieces. Taking inspiration from other artists is okay if you make sure you make it your own.

# data[].attributes.body
While we listened to the Mark Ronson podcast, I learned how frequently music artists borrow from one another's work. It emphasizes how sampling allows different artists to utilize the same beats or lyrics across numerous tracks. When sampling, I believe artists need to add their unique style to make it personal so that it is not considered stealing. If someone uses a lot of parts from another song and doesn't add anything they came up with, I don't think it should be allowed. But overall I believe the decision for whether or not a song can be used for a new song, is up to the original artist.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how most if not all things are made in inspiration of or takes parts of past pieces and makes something new. We see this a lot in music like in samples or similarities in chord progressions. As the say goes, a good artist knows how to steal art, the real importance is making it your own. Art, while not everything is original, an artist uses their own uniqueness to make it something that is new and exciting. You can steal any amount of art but you must add or take away from it in order to make it different to the original.

# data[].attributes.body
Based on what this podcast said, I believe that artists do take from other artists because they use it to help relay their ideas and therefore they in a sense borrow one's work to try to convene their idea. However, we may reach a point in which every word, tune, image has been used, in which could create a void of somewhat unique ideas a perhaps even now, human beings, base our "original" ideas off of things that exist and occur among a multitude of people who may of even though of a similar idea so it possible to say that we have never once had an original idea or at the very least currently now.

When listening to the Mark Ronson podcast, we hear about how music artists reuse a lot of music from each other. It highlights how sampling lets other artists reuse the same beats or the same lyrics throughout many songs. When sampling the artists must put their touch on it in order to make it their own. Typically, songs are written based on other songs the artists hear and like, so there is a lot of sampling in the music industry.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how sampling can lead to different and new creations in music. These things inspire people with their music or with other music and lead them to sample music from the past. These things allow music from the past to influence music from today. I believe sampling isn't considered stealing since it's only a partial part of the song. However, when someone samples, they should give the creator some credit or some form of representation to let others know who they sampled.

# data[].attributes.body
When is comes to songs and music, sampling become more prevalent and common. This isn't particularly "stealing" others work but it almost used as an influence when involved in the song. By incorporating others work into yours this can benefit both the original work and the current. There's an extent to borrowing / sampling because someone's intention aren't revolved around stealing others work. But sometimes it is hard to produce something original without someone basing their songs / work of someone else.

Based on the content from the podcast work can be sampled or "stolen" and can be called your own to some extent. Most artists sample other artists' work and add an aspect of their own to it to make the work unique and not the same as the artist they sampled from. Thus, when an artist samples another, it is solely used for inspiration or because it adds to the original idea. An example of this could be remixes, live-action remakes of movies, or rap songs where a beat is sampled from another genre of music. Therefore, most things in the art industry whether it be music, photography, or art are usually inspired by another artist because other people's art inspires new ideas.

# data[].attributes.body
According to the podcast, almost every artist takes ideas and samples from other artists and builds on those ideas to create their own 'original' works comprised of bits of everything that's influenced them over the years. Songs start out as their own things, but evolve and change over time along with the music scene itself. Additionally, musical ideas persist over time through different people and take on new meaning through each artist's interpolation. Some samples go on to get used for decades by hundreds of artists, inspiring other artists to take ideas from them and change the original ideas bit by bit.

The podcast talks about how music is never all gonna be original. Artist sample other artists all the time, that doesn't mean they are stealing their work they are taking inspiration and growing new ideas of them. It's important to talk about this stuff to make it clear what the difference between stealing and taking inspiration is.

# data[].attributes.body
The podcast talks about how you can use or sample other artists work and call it your own without it being stealing as long as you add/change aspects of it. Lots of artists get inspiration from past art with no intent of copying eachother. As long as you make it your own and make it different, it is ok. And even though the art might not be completely original, it is still new and their own. Nothing anymore is ever original it is just a new way of representing the art.

# data[].attributes.body
Using the work of others isn't necessarily "stealing," all the time. If you can change the original price of art into something that's unique to you, that makes the song yours. Using a song also requires a sense of respect for the original. If artists weren't allowed to sample, we wouldn't have many of the classic songs we enjoy listening to today. There's nothing wrong with expanding upon the musical ideas of other artists.

The podcast discusses how much of modern music is sampled from previous generations to demonstrate the role of sampling in music history. Sampling isn't stealing someone else's work but rather deriving inspiration from it. Ronson notes that artists often get their ideas from something else they've seen or heard. Usually, when an artist samples songs they will add their own personal touches to it in order to set it apart from the source. Sampling is important to the development of the music industry and artistic growth.

The podcast discusses music and how people will use samples of other music and incorporate it into their own songs/put their own twist on it. While sampling from another song doesn't mean they're completely stealing, there's a certain point where it can be considered stolen from the artist. Most of the time, however, the music is just sampled and sung/used differently which makes the song better. However, when a song is borrowed or sampled it should be approved by the original person in order to not be copyrighted. Using samples of songs should be allowed in music because it's making a piece of art their own and learning from the past.

The podcast talks about and explains that music is not very original in this day and age and everybody around the world artists are always sampling other people's music It its not stealing it's just taking ideas from others that could fit in our song perfectly. I believe everybody who does sample it isn't stealing they just heard something that could fit well with them,

This podcast discusses how artists today reuse a lot of sounds from past songs. Not everything that is made today has to be totally original. Most times, artists take what they already love and they build on them to make something special. If an artist is using a song from someone else, it isn't a shot at them or stealing, in fact it tends to be the complete opposite. It is a way to honor what they love. I don't think that there is a specific percentage that you can say is acceptable vs. unacceptable. As long as it sounds different and there is a clear twist being put on a song, it should be completely okay.

This podcast highlights the effects of taking samples from another artist and the effects it can have. It considers different ideas on how some artists feel that any song that contains a sample from another can not win awards, as it is seen as stealing. Yet, the podcast brings up the idea that it should not be considered stolen pieces of music. As any musician will be influenced by the music they have listened to. Whether this is conscious or an unconscious action. As long as the pieces are being changed and the song is not a replica it is seen as okay. The podcast also highlights that there are more songs than you would think, have taken samples from other songs and have changed them for there own song.

In the podcast they talk about how how music is stolen from others but I believe sampling makes music good. If it weren't for sampling the rate of new music would be much lower than it currently is.

You can steal/sample other work and still call it your own if you add your own twist and uniqueness to the original song. When an artist samples another artist, their intention is not to steal their work, they use the sample as an inspiration to create something new. Today, most songs sample and/or are inspired by other songs from the past; songs are always being rewritten, covered, or sampled in new works, especially in rap music. In addition, artist sample other songs for their love of the song and to honor it.

Artists use "samples" to cover or be inspired by their own songs. This process can lead into copyright issues because artists themselves also absorb tons of music daily, and it can be challenging for them to not incorporate other artists' work into their own. I believe as long as you credit the original artist, it can positively impact both artists and grow the music industry further.

The podcast talks about how many artist sample music and how it shouldn't be considered stealing because most artist of today use samples and feed of each others ideas, it also discussed how most artist aren't doing this is a way of stealing but maybe in a way to pay homage to they're colleges all of this also leads to the fact that not everything is 100% original anymore and everyone takes a little bit of everything and puts it in one.

This podcast talks about how some artist get there samples and music from others but when is the point of too much music taken? I think that there should really be one for music there could be so much free and beautiful music if we could mix other peoples music together. but at the same time you should give a small position of money you earn to the original singer. Some artist can be kinda rude other really nice so its hard to make that music into your own.

According to the podcast, there is nothing that is 100% original nowadays, specifically honing on on music. It has become progressively harder to make something completely original. Using an aspect of someone else's work isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, it could be used due to inspiration for example. I believe you should be able to "steal" any amount of another person's work as long as it is shaped into something different than the original and the creator gets the credit they deserve. Sampling encourages new work to build off old work and create something new and exciting.

Mark Ronsons podcast gives an overview on how many artists today that we love and enjoy most likely have taken samples from old songs we've heard of. Sometimes its hard for artists to make their own original pieces or ideas for how their beat of the song should go. People might say this is stealing someone else's ideas, but they usually ask the artist and they get paid. The idea of their sample being used in another person's song makes it seem like their music reached out to more people. This podcast did a good job by giving examples of a variety of songs that have been sampled from other songs. In my opinion, as long as you have your own work and a little bit of "stolen work", its ok to call it your own and be a little creative with it.

This podcast discusses how artists today get their ideas from songs from the past. Music these days isn't original, but artists use others' ideas and twist them into what they love. I don't think everything is stolen. Some artists' ideas are original, but they sound similar to past music. There is a certain percentage where it becomes stolen, but I don't think every song is a rip-off of previous songs.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that almost every artist takes something from another artist whether it's something as big as a cover of the song down to something as small as using the same notes. I think that as music evolves over time, samples continue to get used in different ways and passed down through genres of music. Using samples and re-using song ideas is an extremely important concept of music as it helps inspire artists and allows them to continue making unique music. I think it is very similar to stories as they get passed down and changed over time but they keep the same concept.

Originality nowadays is little, people use backtracks on songs and quote people all day long without giving them credit. You're able to get away with a lot throughout music, art, and more if you go about it the right way. Using the tune from the old songs, it shows the growth of the song throughout the years. It helps build the music throughout the years and will continue to do so. They use it and connect their music to the old time music. Going from Katy Perry, Beyonce, Kanye, and many more. Having these artists reuse that tune or some of the words make you think of other songs as well. The cords can be used the same way for many songs in different tempos. This doesn't mean they were stolen or anything they were just all used the same way. Copyright laws are big but different songs and art are free to use. Being able to make it your own seems to be pretty easy these days.

In this podcast, Mark Ronson talks about how artists always get some sort of idea from something else. They take the original idea and make it their own. Everything is always inspired by something that came before. Nowadays it's hard to make something original without it sounding like something you may have heard or seen before. The important thing is to make it your own without copying the whole entire thing. Re-inventing something that has came before you is what makes the art world unique and original. Working off each other is the future for new generations. This is what makes an artist iconic.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't say everything is stolen, but everyone takes influence from others and creates things based off things they enjoy. I believe there isn't a certain percent that is acceptable but I believe you must give credit to the original while making it uniquely yours. You can't make a complete cover and call it your own but if you completely twist the song, style, and sound, then that is more yours.

According to the podcast, they believe that all music has the potential to build off itself through different artists. If you change the song in some way enough to make it unique, then it is considered your own. It is acceptable to use others' music as long as you change in enough ways to make it more of yours then what was originally started with. The music shouldn't be just copied but used as a starting point to create your own product. As long as you take the original product and change it into your own unique work, then your new product is acceptable.

In the podcast, it talks about how many different popular artists would sample the same song from an artist. They would do this so they could get inspiration from other artists. They did not want to copy each other, they just wanted to be able to take the same sample and get all different results from that one sample. If they didn't have samples to look into, they would have a lot harder time making a song with a blank board. That is why most artists borrow from each other so they can get ideas from each other and grow as a community of artists.

According to Mark Ronson we take the things we love and add onto them, creating a new generation of music. Mark says that there is a very thin line between copying and making something your own. Using past work and adapting it to a modern era separates yourself from the work you sampled from. So many of the best works of some of the newer generations contain samples from music that came before them, but they use them in a new innovative way. As long as the sample used is used in a new and creative way it isn't "stealing".

every artist almost always steals something from another because it gets harder and harder to make completely original beats over time. Also, people tend to make music based on what they have listened to before. I believe that however much you take from another artist as long as you make it your own version and not almost word for word it's ok. Most of the time sampling songs and taking some ideas from other people will make a better song overall.

# data[].attributes.body
Sampling is okay as long as you are changing or making the music your own. It pushes the music industry further, it's about building on the music other people have. It's about building, changing, and evolving the music industry and using other tracks to still be creative, its just using something different. For example, the intro to mobb deep shook ones is iconic and can be used in different ways and still be creative. Its about being creative, and sampling is just another tool that artists can use, they can make greatness.

I don't believe it should be considered stealing but instead almost a inspiration or add-on. I really do believe you can take these samples and make them sound the way you wanted them to while also claiming it as your own. The podcast shows how older original songs are the reason why some modern singer today have a #1 song of their own, even though they took a sampling from another song. Artists are called artist for a reason, not only do they make their own masterpieces but they also can take other art works and tweak them to make them their own/better. Sampling can also be another way of keeping the roots of a genre there and known so people never forget how a genre started and compare it to where it is now.

Artists use sampling all the time. In the podcast, they talk about how different artists bounce ideas off each other no song is truly the artist's own pure music and lyrics. Even though it may not be their own, they add their element to make it their own. "stealing" a rhythm or certain lyrics should not be deemed as something bad for an artist to do. As stated in the podcast, we live in a world of sampling, and how we use sampling as an inspiration and how it can make music better for generations is something we should accept and encourage.

The podcast explores how many songs incorporate elements from a single original song, noting the fine line between copying and drawing inspiration. It explains that while many modern songs build on past music, this is seen as creatively reinterpreting rather than stealing. The discussion also covers how accidental plagiarism can happen when artists forget a song they’ve heard and later produce something similar, mistakenly thinking it’s their own idea.

This podcast talks about how artists get their ideas from something else. Artists take other artists ideas but that isn't stealing since they are making it their own. I think using others ideas is acceptable when you are clearly changing it up and making it your own version. It is very common nowadays to take others work and create your own work.

Artists today, get ideas from others. Nowadays it is hard for someone to find or make an original piece without using someone else's idea. The podcast gives different examples of songs that have been sampled or used by others. I believe that as long as you are changing some parts to make it your own it isn't considered "stolen work."

# data[].attributes.body
Rather than it being called "stealing," almost all music we hear today has been inspired by another song. Going by the logic that if you take even the smallest bit of something else it isn't original, that means we can't call anything our own. I believe that if you take a part of something else and create something new with it, it can be called your own as long as you're not copying more than half of your inspiration piece.

# data[].attributes.body
Over time, it becomes harder to think of something new and creative. Therefore, nothing is original. I believe that as long as you don't copy exactly, it can become your piece. Nowadays, artists are often inspired by samples or even other artists so as long as you put your own twist to it, it can be yours.

In Mark Ronson's podcast, he claims that everyone making music today is always influenced by the works of others, whether it be consciously or subconsciously, and is simply building upon what has already been created. By building upon what has been previously created, artists are able to remake the original music and turn it into something new. There is definitely a fine line between sampling and stealing music, however there needs to be a significant amount of changes made to the song to call it your own. Mark Ronson's podcasts emphasizes the difference between sampling and stealing, and argues that sampling is imperative to creating new "original" music. Furthermore, music is a finite art. There are only so many chords and progressions that exsist, so it's almost impossible to create something entirely new or discover something that hasn't been found before.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it is getting harder and harder to make something completely original. With all the music on the internet it seems near impossible to accidentally take inspiration or a beat or lyric from something, even without knowing it. Though I think that if someone is sampling or using something from other music, as long as they change it enough to the point where anyone who had heard the original would be able to say the songs are different.

# data[].attributes.body
Originality is rare to find in music nowadays. Most songs are sampled from others and influenced by other songs or artists. I believe this is what makes music more unique. By using other songs and tracks and re-inventing them to fit a new song but still having the originality from the original song, makes music very interesting. There is no such thing as an artist creating a song ultimately by themselves and won't sound like anything else ever created. Every song is going to have another song that sounds similar and that may be from coincidence or on purpose, but either way it is not "stealing". It would be considered stealing if the exact same song was copied down and published by another artist. Mark Ronson stated that most songs that are sampled are just sounds and switched up lyrics, not entire songs. Everyone builds off others ideas with pretty much everything and it's not considered stealing, so why should it be different for music.
