Do you have no talent whatsoever?

This is nothing new, in literary circles it's called ghostwriting.

It's nothing new in music either, particularly in film scoring. Hans Zimmer has a whole team of people working for him, some of them unpaid intern lackeys.

Damien hurst has an army of so called artists concocting various pieces of rotting dogs and shit like that.

I think as long as people are truthful about where the music comes from then who cares?

I mean some people use sample libraries for all their sounds.

Some people insist on making all their own sounds.

Where do you draw the line? Should I not use a piano because it's effectively a preset?

To be completely original I should even create my own computer and software as well.

False equivalence there. Its not persuasive at all when you do that, it undermines any point you are trying to make.

I could make this point:
a top chef uses ingredients too, even top chefs don't kill their own animals, what next? Is it only food if we rear own own animals and butcher them?
Ergo: all food has equal taste and nutritional value.
So: A big mac, a gourmet meal and a microwaved hotdog, are all the same

You see, it's a nonsensical equivalence.
somebody looping a vengeance loop over and over and over, is not equivalent to Paco Peña playing guitar, or a luthier constructing a guitar which he cannot play.

These are UN-alike things.

But it is surely a grey area.

Next thing you will be claiming that Jamie Oliver is a genius - who brought fucking chefs into this?

[Mint Invader]

Lol... you all do know that this happens behind closed doors all the time... right?
