Didn't Kid 606 famously not clear the samples on the Mentalist blah blah fucking Jams CD and it had to be released on the New Zealand-based Violent Turd label to avoid copyright troubles? So there you have a well known IDM name ignoring song ownership on a mix CD. And I can't walk into any of the record stores here in NYC without seeing that CD... its everywhere.
Of course, there IS also a difference between (ab)using Eminem and Missy tracks versus tracks by IDM artists that are unlikely to be making any big time profits on their music.
Like most matters with copyrights, its a complicated issue without any solid answer.
