Jake Skudder, Hot New Hip Hop; Are Samples Copyright Free?

"Conclusion: Navigating The Complex World Of Sampling

In summary, samples are not inherently copyright free. To use a sample legally, one must either clear the sample by obtaining permission from the copyright holder or qualify for fair use. Alternatively, one can opt for royalty-free samples to avoid traditional potential costs. As with all legal matters, it’s always advisable to consult a legal professional to ensure compliance with copyright law when using samples in music production. This will ensure that creativity can continue growing without potential legal traps."
