Here's an interesting question:
On my label's website, we have an MP3 Gallery. It contains songs
that contain samples. At the top of the Gallery, I have written the
words
"Here you will find a wide selection
of Ovenguard and
Omnimedia clips in .mp3 format. We
hope you will enjoy
listening to them and possibly even be
inspired to use them as
the basis for your own music. They are
entirely free of
copyright and may be used in any
manner you see fit."
If someone sampled a part of one of the songs that contained a sample
for which I have paid nothing and gotten no permission, I could do
nothing - I've given that right away above. Nor would I want to do
anything. However, if that person were then sued for using the
sample (let's suppose that other person's song became widely
distributed and found it's way to the offices of the originator of
the sampled sound)...what difference would it make that I had written
that little sentence?
Thoughts?
