“One More Time" became Daft Punk’s biggest hit & first million-selling single, sampling Eddie Johns' 1979 song "More Spell on You.”
Though Daft Punk confirmed they have, for years, paid royalties to officially license the sample, he hasn’t seen a dime https://t.co/goDJ21LdbD
@its_adamneely Said another way: just because you own a rare Beanie Baby or signed baseball card or limited edition vinyl print doesn't mean you own the Rights to them 😩
@its_adamneely Historically, most copyright infringement cases in regards to pirating etc have been brought against the distributors of said content. Rarely have end users been prosecuted for "owning" illegally shared content.
Vote like your own rights are at stake, even if they aren’t. Vote for your BIPOC friends. Vote for your LGBTQ+ friends. Vote for women’s right to choose. Vote for climate change. Vote for healthcare as a right. Vote against voter suppression. Vote against violent militias. Vote.
America has once again proven that a pile of dead bodies is no cause for change and the fact that you’re not sure which issue I’m talking about speaks to the depth of that problem.
