Before the fairly recent law change, I think it was legal to take something past a certain length or amount of notes. Now it's technically illegal to lift even a single sound. I know people have been sued for taking loops and obvious samples. But the way I like to sample is to take stabs, hits, and just little sounds that can add color to a track and be useful for layering with other sounds. Have you heard of any infringement cases where someone got sued for taking single sounds?
