new sampling law

watch out kids, according to Remix Transmissions:

SAMPLING NOW ILLEGAL?
Earlier this month, the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that artists must now pay for any musical sample they use in their work, no matter how small. In the past, artists only had to pay for larger samples that incorporated an easily recognizable piece of the original work. The new ruling stems from an older case involving the NWA track "100 Miles and Runnin," which included a short guitar riff from a mid-70's Funkadelic song called "Get Off Your Ass and Jam."
