Actually the legal cutoff to be considered "stolen" from another artist is 7 notes. If 8 notes are considered to match it is considered a ripoff wheras if it is only 7 notes, it can be legally written off as a coincidence. This only refers to music notes itself and not lyrics, voices or other "distinguishable" sounds. Sampling lyrics or voices of anything that is copyright material then as stated above, the holder of the copyright has every right to sue the hell out of you TinOmen http://www.thefaktory.com tinoment@thefaktory.com "<color><param>8080,0000,8080</param>All good people are asleep and dreaming</color>"
