You only have to pay for samples because of the existing structure of
copyrights. Anyway, who are you to decide what "sampling" is? All art
"samples." I defy you to tell me where to draw the line. The copyright
issue in art is about money, not creativity, as someone "sampling" your
work does nothing to impede your own creation of art.

We can debate all day on the merits of sampling, but it can start with
the fact that you have no idea as to what samples we've cleared/paided
for. It can end with the fact that sampling is an art form which
re-arranges pre-existing work into new context and pieces of work. It's
a big difference and two very different arguments.
