hehe nope. If you go checking the original mail you'll see that obviously I
had considered this. Well, the Fund could work also with a limited number
of tracks, even that would be artistically limited (you're only entitled to
freely sample those tracks administered by the Fund).

Length would be a good criterion for literature (for example you can quote
a phrase from a book and be in the "fair use"... but you won't copy 20 pages from another book and include them in your book). Is this appliable
to music?

sampledelica ;)
