refills containing samples? this is a gr8 question

if you put a sample (i.e. a snippet of the beatles) into a refill for reason that was for sale how would you go about clearing that? i researched the problem but all i could come up with was sampling for another recording ..
a refill is technically not a recording ... its a plug-in containing a sample ..
true enough a sample of a recording that is copywritten ...
so would i have to find a way to clear the sample in order to have it in the refill.. OR .. does the end-user
have to find a way to clear the sample after he uses it

any one can create a refill....doesnt mean that every soound/sample is royalty free just because its in a refill...

true its a plug in containing a sample...but that sample in this case WOULD be a recording....and IS copywritten...

So to your question...I think a refill would be the same as if you sold a beat with a copywritten sample no difference....In the end some one, some where that decides to distribute the record with the sample is going to have to clear it....and honestly a "beatles" record lol...would most likely cost more to clear the sample then the record would even bring in unless it were a platinum selling artist...

In closing...I try to tell people to stop stressing samples so much....If you put together an album loaded with samples...Unless your moving about 10,000 units independant your just a bug on the wall and they wouldnt even take it to court and lose money....but if your doing 10k+ BE CAREFUL and play everything by the books....

Like Harry said, dont worry about that ish until u start moving weight or get real work! bfore they come after you they will research your background and find out that everything is in your mamas name and that the only thing you have is unpaid student loans and a 5 year old maxxed out discover card, i doubt if they want to inherit that. in other word put it out

you will NOT be able to clear a beatles sample.


0 clearance policy

Zero clearance policy? What cha mean?

Zero clearance policy? What cha mean?

It means they don't want anybody sampling their music end of story!
If you do, you will be sued and your album/song will be pulled of the shelf!

end of the day, if your making money from their works ur in the wrong (in their eyes) if u dont sell them then its ok
