Doing Bootlegs...

AMG asked about a BK tune a while back and Farley said he should ask permission to do a bootleg/rmx (cant remember what exactly AMG wanted to do to be fair to Farley).

IMO - doing a booty shouldnt require the original artists permission as its not an official remix and it wont go on sale...

reason i ask is i wanna remix london lets 'av yer and drop the dime but i hardly wanna bother JB & Dom about it

i'll post the tracks for free on here, besides hard house is dead and the hoover is stale so nobody should give a shit anyway

why not?

if anything i think its promoting the original

not really, imo it's promoting your bootleg and you - i wouldn't be overly chuffed if someone bootlegged one of my tunes and posted their free version on the net. not that that's likely to ever happen haha.

just my opinion mate.

you can tell who are the producers and who are the dj's in this thread lol.

and by the way, ur talking about a mashup not a bootleg.

no he's not, he's talking about doing 2 separate bootlegs, one of london lets av yer (od404 remix) and one of drop the dime

ah i see, when he said the two i thought he meant slap them together on ejay

to be fair mate its a different track - u could say the same for a remix then couldnt u.

the tracks in particular are well old and subsequently generate zero revenue for the labels involved at present so for that specific reason i think it would be OK?

also i'm not arguing mate (just to be clear hehe) just trying to play devils advocate a bit to cover all the angles

so for this case where the tracks are really old - still ask permission?

top tune b boy one is my fav

lol that's not quite the case
