Marty, I agree with you on the "Techo Brega" comment that it is just outright theft. They add injury to insult by then selling their mix CDs on the street which is clearly copyright violation. However, it just underscores how arcane and archaic copyright system. Even if the "Techno Brega" guys wanted to go legit and try to get the rights to the song samples, it would be impossible. I wish iTunes would lead the way and start selling songs as tracks then allowing remix uploads. This would create more works for sale and likely benefit all involved from a revenue standpoint. As for remixers and DJs while they may or may not possess any classical musical skill, some of them have a true gift for remixing. For example, check this one out:
ACDC - Shook Me All Night Long (Remix feat. Bon Jovi, Metallica, Nirvana, Def Leppard, Van Halen, and Guns N' Roses) all in one remixed techno song.
