GIRL TALK is nothing but a guy making money on other people’s music. He’s not a musician and he’s not a writer what he is – is a rip off artist and should be in jail for fraud and theft. The guy is bogus and the people who listen to him, go to his concerts and rave about him are the same people who think Eminem is a genius. NOT – Greg Gillis is a guy who couldn’t get a job programming and takes other people’s music and is making money on it all over the world. Stop listening and he’ll go away. Support real Musicians.

I completely agree with both of your opinions. I love Girl Talk and always wondered how someone could compile such a vast array of great music into one track and all on each of the albums. To challenge the point of how “technology makes it easy for someone who has little musical talent to become a musician” i’ll present the question/point: Isn’t it the advancement of technology and the consumers’ wants that will continue to drive the music industry/market and allow for further innovation and enhance rather than hinder it?
I actually agree with the point that musicians with real talent should get credit and that they have a hard time as it is. However, the music industry has been rapidly changing, with decreasing cd sales and increasing mp3 sales. Furthermore, digital music sales are not increasing as fast as cd sales have been decreasing, and, as a result, the market may not stabilize if this continues. Therefore, I see that “musicians” and other artists that are able to utilize this technology, and other types, will be the ones to remain successful in this challenging market.

It mystifies me too why Girl Talk hasn’t been sued when they are blatantly using samples, and how other musicians whom have used samples much more cunning yet transformative way, have been sued and lots the rights to their song. It just seems morally unfair. But I think its a great point you make that they don’t want to set a precedent if he is able to maintain fair use. However, I think it is inevitable that he is going to get sued and I think that because of the amount used, even if it doesn’t harm the same market, its still grounds for copyright theft. And I think in a way he acknowledges this with his label name. Although I enjoy his music, I have to ask myself is it morally right for someone to profit when it seems others have worked so hard to make something from nothing. Personally, I think if he were to make his music for free and maybe derive an income I wouldn’t have a problem with it. But when technology makes it easy for someone who has little musical talent to become a “musician” I think its unfortunate for all the talented people out there who can sound good without technology who are still struggling for artist recognition.
