From liner notes:
"Creative License: Steinski's Rough Mix" bursts with songs and artists discussed within Kembrew McLeod & Peter DiCola's book "Creative License: The Law and Culture of Digital Sampling" (published in April 2011 by Duke University Press). It features hundreds of songs and samples mashed together by Steinski, the sonic cut-and-paste artist best known for a hugely influential series of early-1980s twelve-inch singles popularly known as "The Lessons." Peppered throughout the mix are soundbites from McLeod's co-produced documentary Copyright Criminals, which was recently re-released as a box set titled The Funky Drummer Edition. Illegal Art is hosting a free download of this mix, available in both FLAC and 320kbs MP3 formats, and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial license.

Notes by Steinski from his official blog:
"Kembrew Mcleod – author, teacher, artist, filmmaker, and debonair man-about-town – wrote a book specifically about hiphop sampling called Creative License. It's a companion piece to his film Copyright Criminals. He asked me to put together a mix of Golden Age hiphop stuff to accompany the book, and you can download the 40 minute piece from Illegal Art, label of the stars".
