To all those who are outraged at Helene Hegemann’s “free-appropriation” of passages from Airen’s “Strobo,” I ask you this: Where would Jazz be without unattributed “quotes”? Where would hip-hop be without “sampling”? In fact where would popular music be without “covers”? And that’s just for starters. Think of the visual arts, opera, you name it. In fact, intellectual property rights is a very recent (late 19th & 20th century phenomenon (a product of advanced capitalism as much as protection for the artists).
