    Copyright belongs to the creator and is protected
    from the moment of conception, exists for the lifetime of the creator and another 70 years after their death. Once out of copyright, the work becomes ‘public domain’ and any new versions of that work can be copyrighted again
    Due to the popularity of sampling from other records there are companies appearing every week who will work on your behalf to clear a sample. However, my personal advice would be to talk to the Mechanical Copyright Protection Society. These guys handle the licensing for the
    recording of musical works and started a Sample Clearance Department in 1994. Although they will not personally handle the clearance itself – for that you need someone like myself – they can certainly put you in touch with the artist or record company involved.
