when people say they take sounds vocals singing watever from old records,how do you do it ie without geting done as dont u need a liscence or permission to do it
i cant remember the exact rules..but ur not allowed to sample more than 11seconds without authorization or something...look it up if ur gunna be sellin ur tune cos otherwise ul get sue'd
Legal advice from a 16 year old. Mate, don't give it.
Copyright law is an incredibly complex area of law, most lawyers avoid it and those lawyers that do it, are rich and clever.
That said, you have no basic right to sample a record, whether it be 11 seconds or 11 minutes. If you're using it, you're in breach of copyright.
So your options are:
1) get a license - unlikely
2) fuck it - you're not going to get sued for a track you put up here or DOA or wherever coz you have no money and its a waste of lawyer time. Many commercial dnb releases that sample do so illegally - but even then nobody is going to bother with them because its not worth going after, even Hazard with Machete. If however you achieve a success like Fugee Or Not, you might get sued. Unlikely.
