Reply to anyone ever worry about uncredited/uncleared sampling?

Hector El Father, the reggaeton artist who's track was sampled for Harlem Shake, says he's considering legal action.

am i right in assuming it's pretty much the culture of electronic music to use samples without crediting them? i see way more instances of this than the reverse. even at the "bigger" labels.

TONS of producers have gotten away with this.

the reason is usually "i didn't expect this track to ever blow up". i totally understand that. dance music labels usually don't make enough money to clear samples. but once the song blows up, shouldn't you clear the sample? i'm surprised mad decent hasn't done it yet. harlem shake is way too big right now.

everyone seems ok with sampling sounds though. laidback luke recommends this when he critiques tracks on his community . he says it's better because those sounds have been mastered perfectly for the club. then i was reading oliver money's interview with little white earbuds about doin' ya thang he said everybody "steals" his sounds. as if to say if he had the money to get those songs taken off the market, he would.
