Re: Samples and looping
I think it is immoral to make people ask you every time they wanna use
your work. I mean, I am sitting at home and I have a sound editor and
I record an audio signal of a movie that is playing. Then I cut out samples
out of this recording. Does it mean that some guy there actually owns my
freedom and I am obliged to go ask permission whether I can cut out samples
from a movie he once did?
But of course these sampling questions are very controversial. I have no desire to start
a long flaming discussion. Just cleared up my position on that.

No, it is not illegal to sample. What is illegal (and immoral) is to
use someone's work without asking for written permission. If you ask
the right person nicely, you will get the license 90% of the time. A
friend of mine recently obtained a license from a very famous movie
director, to use a sample from his latest movie. Guess what, he gave
his permission for free as long as the sample is not used in another
movie... :-)
