What bugs me is that people fail to see how strict copyrights can impede the natural evolution of music. Everything called a sample they call it a steal, but "Vogue" was inspired and inspires on its own.

Express Yourself/Vogue sounds similar to this remix, which is also by Shep Pettibone:

From what I've read, Shep created this MYM remix before working on "Vogue".

This site IS heavily biased against Madonna but it does show that the next time Madonna goes off in public about how she's being ripped off she should look in the mirror first.

That's mostly the work of directors or photographers though.

Exactly. The perverted copyright system actively goes against its original purpose.
