The final deathblow to sampling productions and practices of the late 1980s came in 1991 in the form of the decision in the first lawsuit to address the issue of digital music sampling in relation to the copyright law. The case is officially called Grand Upright Music Ltd. v. Warner Bros. Records Inc., but is known in the music industry as the Biz Markie case. At the time, a New York rapper, Biz Markie, used a 10 second sample of singer-songwriter Gilbert O’Sullivan’s song Alone Again (Naturally) on his I Need a Haircut Album. Warner Brothers released the album before the license for it has yet been acquired, though it was applied for. Grand Upright Music, the copyright owner of the O’Sullivan’s work used by Biz Markie, sued for copyright infringement and for action against Biz Markie. The decision was swift and stark. The judge called it a clear cut case of theft, and ruled against Warner, ordering an immediate injunction of the album. Fair use was not even considered as an option. The album was pulled from the market, and the world of commercial music sampling got its legal precedent regarding licensing - it is not fair use, and cannot be done without the permission and the license from the copyright owner

Biz Markie is a legend! I love to hear samples from the past it shows me how broad of a music fanatic an artist can be.

Gilbert O'Sullivan's song "Alone Again" came out in 1972, btw

When the rap art form started to make money it was lost. Imagine for every guitar riff 50% went to Gibson or other makers. Sampling is misunderstood due to the general public not having experience making beats.

Gilbert O'Sullivan actually sued this artist because he had unauthorised use of the song, hence the Grand Uptight Records vs. Warner Bros. Record legal case. Artists who sample songs like this are purely just taking credit for someone else's work, if someone did that at a university, it would be known as plagiarism. Don't see why musicians can get away with it. Gilbert O'Sullivan's 'Alone Again (Naturally)' was known as one of the sounds of 1972. Its by no means being petty at all.

I agree. It's like the audio equivalent of collage artwork. Should artists be compensated for samples? Yes. But not 50%. If a 3 minute song earns $1 million & there's a 2 second sample in it, divide & do the math. Plus, deduct 50% from that figure, because the artist that uses the sample, is also artistically contributing. The judge in the O'Sullivan case ruled that, even a 0.25 second snare drum sample, is the same is stealing an entire song. That is not true, not fair & just, plain not right!

IMO it was deeper than that. At the time, rap/hip-hop was despised by many people. (NWA's Straight Outta Compton was one of the first albums to get a Parental Advisory label, Ice Tea's Cop Killer, etc) The genre was so heavily dependent on samples, I think the judge felt that by banning samples, or making them so expensive to use, he'd single-handedly destroy hip-hop. The judge knew NOTHING about music, art, etc. I think he just personally hated hip-hop & was on a personal crusade to destroy it.

when did he take this picture?

ENJ4321

No he didn't Biz got the ok...but O'Sullivan's lawyers somehow made it seem as though the label was aware that the song belonged to somebody else...but that that they didn't have ample enough clearance. Which was bullshit, it was O'Sullivan's greedy douchebag lawyers that persued the suit though.

Mario Grimanis

Is Gilbert O'Sullivan going to sue youtube for having this song available since he sued Biz for using the sample?

john johnjohn

This is the definitive case that changed the way the hip-hop world composed music using samples. Before this case artists sampled other artist's works freely without compensation. Initially,Biz asked permission to use the sample. Gilbert was a little guarded with his songs and knowing the comedic nature of Biz declined permission. Biz used it anyway, without compensation. Ol' Gilly felt he was pressured into pursuing the lawsuit and he wished that the whole thing didn't even happen.

Stealing but it's still there. Still living with your mom are ya?
