Slayers Club proudly presents a screening of the documentary film, Copyright Criminals, an examination of the artistic and legal implications of sampling in modern music, to take place on Thursday, September 23 at club Mighty in SF.

The night will also feature live music performances by Steinski, innovator of sample-based music in the early 80's, Amp Live, an accomplished and eclectic Bay Area producer who was recently entangled in a legal battle over his bootlegged Radiohead remix work, and The Polish Ambassador aka Ample Mammal, who has been called "the West Coast, more sophisticated version of Girl Talk".

The film screening will be followed by a speakers panel including Steinski, Amp Live, Tim Jones of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, entertainment lawyer Tony Berman and revered hip-hop historian Jeff Chang.

Local artist Nick Fregosi and others will paint live graffiti artwork on canvas outside the venue and b-boy collectives will perform breakdance demos inside.

 As seen on PBS’s Independent Lens and at the Toronto International Film Festival, Copyright Criminals takes a close look at the creative and legal implications of sampling music in the digital age through the eyes of well-known artists, activists and industry insiders. Featuring interviews with Clyde Stubblefield (“The Funky Drummer”), Chuck
 D of Public Enemy, DJ Shadow and many more.
-Steve Stein, aka [www.steinski.com Steinski], originally from Newark, New Jersey, rode the pulse of the New York City underground in the early 80’s and emerged as a cult hip-hop hero. Stein co-produced the series of records known as The Lessons for the Tommy Boy label. These analog tape cut-and-paste collages, still widely bootlegged (and wildly illegal), are generally acknowledged as three of the most influential works in the world of hip-hop and dance music production. Steinski has been cited as a definitive influence by music luminaries including DJ Shadow, Cut Chemist and Fatboy Slim.
