What Do the Professionals Say? Jay Z- Jigga rails against artists who use the ubiquitous
pitch-correction software in their songs through his song D.O.A
Ne-Yo disses artists that use auto-tune “Auto-tune was meant to be a safety net, right[...]It was not
supposed to be wings. You’re not supposed to strap it on your back and jump off the building. That’s not what auto-tune was meant to be. If you’re using it for what it’s meant for, cool, fine, and good[...]not, “I can’t sing at all, so let’s turn auto-tune all the way up so I just sound like Willy the Robot.[...]That’s wack! That’s terrible! It takes all the character out of your voice and you become a robot[...]Take the damn training wheels off. That’s how I feel about it.”

Derivative Works
The Ambiguity of Fair Use and Derivate
Works
What Does “Fair Use” Even Mean?
Copyright Act of 1976
The following factors constitute fair use: The nature of the copyrighted work (its purpose) The amount and substantiality of the portion used in
relation to the copyrighted work as a whole (how much is used)
The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work (doesn’t hurt original’s value/market)
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all the above factors.

Fair Use in Court
Bridgeport Music vs. Dimension Films (2005) Federal judge originally ruled it was NOT a
copyright violation, Appeals Court reverses decision – “Get a license or don’t sample.”
Reversed because NWA’s work was commercial in nature – didn’t satisfy all parts of fair use.

Sampling: Pitbull vs. Milkman
“Go Girl” - Pitbull “All About It” – MilkmanHow is the meaning changed by the
new context of Milkman’s song? Is this a violation of fair use?Does the Bridgeport decision go too
far?

Mashup: Outkast and Charlie Brown
Nature of song is transformed“If you use the copied work in a way
that substitutes for the original in the market, it’s unlikely to be a fair use; uses that serve a different audience or purpose are more likely fair.”
