Set: talking Girl Talk w/ Peter DiCola




On November 14th, the Illegal Art label dropped All Day, the first release in over two years by the world's most renowned mashup artist Girl Talk. The free, purportedly "Creative Commons" release is a pop culture kaleidoscope with 372 overlapping samples of songs by the likes of The Rolling Stones, Prince, Nirvana and Beyoncé. Girl Talk claims this is a transformative fair use, and we'd like to believe him, but then again, it was released on a label called "Illegal Art". So why hasn't Girl Talk been sued?




We'll address this question and more with law professor Peter DiCola, an expert on copyright law’s regime for digital sampling, and co-author (with Kembrew McLeod) of the forthcoming book Creative License: Digital Sampling, Culture, and the Law.
