Die us-amerikanischen Library of Congress hat mit Citizen DJ ein Online-Archiv ins Netz gebracht, das tausende Hip-Hop-Samples für jederman freizugänglich macht und zum Remixen anregen soll. Neben der Archiv-Form sind Downloads möglich und man hat sogar einen Sequenzer in die Browser implementiert. Ich lade dann mal und schmeiß Ableton an.

Connect the general public with culturally significant, underutilized, and free-to-use audio and video collections available from the Library.

Provide the general public (in particular, those with little to no formal research training) with the tools and resources to navigate the United States copyright system in the context of sample-based music creation.
Contribute to human-computer interaction research and best practices for search and discovery of large audio and video collections.
