From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: sample stuff how do artists release records that contain samples without paying the copyright owners?
If you're selling 1000-2000 copies, its not profitable for a major to chase you down - you won't be able to pay it and they waste time and money in the process. I've heard of majors ringing up small labels/artists that have sampled something, asking how many copies they are doing and then the major will just tell them to keep the number of copies under a certain level - and thats it.
However, if your record blows up and starts getting big attention (and/or sales), they might decide its in their financial interests to then chase you. Or if you flaunt it, they might make an example of you. But then V/Vm are still going :)
