 W.r.t. legal sampling, what are the ground rules here ?
I guess what I'm curious about is what is the determining
factor when copyright infringement occurs.
I seem to remember when sampling technology started to
come into play, there was some ruling (or hearsay) about
anything longer than 3 seconds was infringement and less
than 3 seconds was not.
