Of course, some people wax philosphy about the art of using someone else's music. To me, it still feels like plagarism...Even when someone else's name on it.

All true. But in regards to my previous post, turntabling with samples is in fact, onstage production/editting. While the turntablist himself is not responsible for producing the individual sounds played, he does have control over how it is played.
In direct definition of the word 'instrument', yes, a computer and its audio software IS an instrument. An instrument for live music? No. An instrument made to produce music? Yeah. I mean, if we are going to get technical, I could say a synthetic keyboard is not an instrument because the noises it makes are not natural. They are artificially produced... and previously sampled.
