Dabatos,

Thank you for cooperating with us. Also please take the music out of your sound click page. Please read the information that I've attached for you. Because you sampled the whole instrumentation along with InnerVoices' vocals for the chorus, we have to figure out the amount for the license. This is how the music business works. Again, we're not trying to discourage you for using the sample, you just can't use it right now for performances, promotional, etc. Please do some research on how to sample songs. This would be a great tool for you as an artist. Thank you for your time.

Music Sampling

The court’s analysis is somewhat complex but concludes that no sampling can be made without a license or permission.11 The reason is not because of the copyright to the music composition in the sample, but because of the copyright to the sound recording. The court interprets the copyright statute, 17 USC Section 114, as prohibiting the copying of the whole or any part of a sound recording. The new ruling reasons that you should either pay for a license to sample a song with the original sound recording, or go into the studio yourself and recreate the sample with your own sound recording.

For many hip hop and rap musicians, the point of sampling a song is precisely to copy the sound recording of a well known song to give their song a certain feel or emphasis. The intent is to link their song in this manner to the earlier song in the listener’s mind. Most would not consider trying to reproduce the sound independently because it wouldn’t have the same feel. The Bridgeport Music opinion now clarifies that samples of original recordings must be licensed.
