RE: FLASH: x-mas song copyright

[Kevin Jackson]

Someone said

There is a "samplers rule" but I believe it is more like 7 seconds, not 29.9


I think you got this from the old Prodigy or AOL rule. It doesn't fit

though. Some houses copyright ANY use so you can't count on that. It is a

bit frustrating that Puff copies an entire song and is considered an artist

and gets a Grammy though.


I have tried to get an OK to use portions of a piece and if you are honest

be prepared to spend months waiting for them to tell you yes or no and the

parameters.
