Huh? How can it be free if it contains samples?

because he doesnt pay for the right to use the samples. it would cost more to sue him than the amount of money they would receive, although i'm sure he makes a decent amount from touring and djing.

Hey Jason, I think the "RIAA" was being sarcastic, but more importantly: Shouldn't he only give away his albums for free?

If I pay -$300, will I get a check?

I've also heard that most artists actually dig what he's doing, and leave him alone as a consequence. Not necessarily true, I just remember reading about it somewhere.

he outdid himself. I loved Night Ripper. This one is just as good, possibly better.
