Using Copywritten Samples...

[Fantastic_Mad]

If you pull samples off of copywritten music and create beats and what not with those samples, can you be sued?

Absolutely.......... that's exactly the kind of thing the copyright is intended to protect against.........

There are plenty of web sites that have samples that are part of public domain, if you just need to sample try one of these sites. Just type "Samples public domain" into your search engine and see what you come up with.

A few weeks ago I posted a thread about using samples on the publicity board, but I got 0 replies (I'm still edpressed about that).

About using musical samples it is quite obvious, but how about synth or drum samples, or drum loops?

I'm still not sure where to put the boundary.
