There is a big brouhaha regarding the use of sampled music in other
peoples' recordings. In the case of this book, the "author" seems to
have lifted entire sections of FAQs and simply presented them in a
different layout format. Worse, a reader has difficulty telling what
information came from a FAQ, vs which were his own words. This is very
bad, IMO.
