Brian,
Not really anything to add to what has already been said... Basically, the
sampler should gain copyright permission from the copyright holder (be that
the songwriter, the publisher or the record co.) in order to use a piece of
music, a riff, a phrase etc from a copyright work. If this is not done then
they face a possible legal situation....
