copyright does expire, but its recently been retroactively extended to be 95 years after the death of the owner. i'm not sure what happens when an owning company goes under, but usually when comapnies "go udner" they sell all their assets to recoup their losses, so i bet it is extrememly uncommon for noone to end up holding the copyright.

I was under the impression that after a certaion amount of time, some music becomes public domain? Also, I know if the publisher that owns the copyright goes bust, doesn't the music become public domain also? A friend of mine recently did the Adamski - Killer bootleg and the bootleg of Papua New Guinea and as has already been mentioned, he's got away with it to a certain extent because they're white labels not attributed to an artist. He could never release them fully without getting nailed by Adamski & FSOL.

as i understand things (i am not a layer) you cannot sample without clearing, period. realistically speaking, i wouldnt worry about it unless you were mass distributing and/or selling your tune. i believe that its mostly the label's job to help you clear the samples if nessesary anyhow, depending on how big the label is.

hey there.

ive been away from the list for a while and thats cos i took the brilliant advice and went away and worked so hard in my bedroom studio.

anyway, on the issues of sampling.

if u sample a tune but its been messed using plug ins etc do u still have to give credit to the original artist? how much do u usually have to pay to clear the samples

and .. how do u get in touch with the people? u need a load of written stuff to say its cleared and little unsigned producers like me cant get that done. also if its from an "obscure" tune and u cant find the original artist, what do you do?

confusing issue here for me. builidin up tunes is hard work.

id just like to know how much can u "rip" (by that i mean sample cos i cant get a sample to change sound form in soundforge - maybe a few tips on that) off a tune?
