Getting Sampled By Girl Talk Actually Boosts Sales

Girl Talk’s Gregg Gillis as we all know is super talented. Girl Talk has an infamous reputation for illegal sampling in the eyes of record labels wanting to pin the mash-up maestro for gaining immense popularity off the back of their catalogues.

While a huge amount of people love Gillis’s mixes, he has consistently been criticized for his use of copyrighted music. He has reportedly defended his practice citing “fair use,” but a new study supports his creative process even further, finding that sales of the songs he sampled in his 2010 album ‘All Day’ have actually increased as a result.

The study was conducted by Texas Judicial Law Clerk W. Michael Schuster, it looked at the more than 350 popular songs sampled on Girl Talk’s 2010 album All Day, and found that the copyrighted music used to construct the party mixtape sold much better in the year after All Day‘s release than in the year before, as Pitchfork reports.

The 74-page report (available in full here for you heavy readers) indicates that Gillis, the man behind the Girl Talk stage name, stimulates sales directly through the use and exposure of the music through his own unique configurations. Schuster suggesting his figures argue for an “objective financial review of fair use and the market effect.

The research findings certainly puts Girl Talk latest release even more exciting, tentatively scheduled for a release through the Illegal Art label before the end of the year, telling MTV News at the start of the year that his latest mash-up masterpiece would be inspired by ‘traditional production.
