Its quite possible that permission was granted and there may be no legal
problems.
Here are a few of things I have noticed that would most certainly go
against the grain:
The Funkenstort 12" by Funkstorung: On the backside, it clearly shows the
Apple logo which is a registered trademark by Apple.
A track from the Spacepimp 12" on Clear has a sample of the "Axl Foley
Theme" from "Beverly Hills Cop" which was wriiten by Jan Hammer.
The "Type Zero" 12" on Planet µ: Anime / Robotech / Gundam figure on the
cover.
perhaps thats why it was limited to 750 copies of the fear that it might
make its way to Japan.
On Endlessnessism: The track remixed by Funki Porcini... contains that
Apple / Macintosh start-up tone.
Wagon Christ - Tally Ho! The first track contains piano samples from
United Airlines.
Some of the above maybe border line. Who really knows??? I can
understand, give credit where credit is due... but if you can get away with
it. Fine by me.
Yeah, I'm bored.
