100 Miles and Runnin' (song)

Last updated

"100 Miles and Runnin'" had sampled a two-second guitar chord from Funkadelic's "Get Off Your Ass and Jam" by lowering the pitch of the sample and playing it five times, but had paid no compensation to the owner, Bridgeport Music. Bridgeport brought the issue to a federal judge, who ruled that the sample was not in violation of copyright law. Later on, though, the decision was reversed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, who interpreted and ruled that using any sample without the original creator's permission was in violation of the law.

Live performances

N.W.A performed the song live on The Arsenio Hall Show on September 28, 1990.
