Many things have been written on the sampling issue...
Im a bit out of my depthe, especially in term sof the law as it stands,
but what about this as an idea...
A sample is like a quote in literature or research based writing.
Researcg based writing is about extending and/or progressing the views
surrounding the subject at hand, hopefully improving same while at the
same time providing an expressive outlet for the writer(s)
I view the sample like a quote from another example of the same thing,
piece of music, text whatever...
In academic writing and in publishing there are legal and professional
standards that give order to the process of quoting that generally
ensure that the reader is able to be aware when the content is from
another place, what that place is, when it originated and who
originated it.
As far as I understand no money changes hands in this process of
acknowledgement and recognition of prior work by a peer.
Could this not work in music?
