I love how samples are always "stolen" if the source isn't obscure, but cover are lauded "tributes."

a******s at WMG started the fight. Well can't say they didn't warn a brother.

"I didn’t make a dime off that song. I released it for free. If anything I’m paying homage.”

Releasing your music for free is the way forward, especially when labels display this kind of c***ish behavior.
I hope Frank doesn't roll over on this one. He's not using the sample for commercial gain or personal profit.

Yeah that's what I thought too lol. WMG (a******s) claimed on the Youtube clips too.

MrBlondNYC said on Thursday, 01 March 2012:
It's a free mixtape so Henley is not entitled to a dime. The best he could do is to scare Ocean into pulling the mixtape from his website which I think has happened.

Don Henley of Eagles threatened to sue Frank Ocean for using this uncleared sample:
