Sampling is not the same as duplication. Sampling is allowed as it's a derivitive work as long as it's substantially different from the original.

It's a "I know it when I see it" situation so it's not clear cut.




Oh, the day when an artist could sample other artists without attribution and royalties is long gone. The music labels are very hard on this these days.
