Well everyone calls him a law suit waiting to happen but it has yet to happen.
While his live shows he isn't doing anything wrong cause its just the same as any other DJ his albums are a different story.
Feed The Animals has 300 samples but believes it falls the brief snippets fall under fair use.
It is getting more scary for Girl Talk as his popularity grows more people hear about him.
GT is just honest artist though what wants to be taken seriously. He doesn't care if people get his art buy paying for it or downloading it for free as long as he is taken seriously
I have been to 3 of his shows and I would take a Girl talk show over any other live bands performance
