Go get yourself a free copy of Audacity, turn the 'mic input' to 'Stereo Mix,' and use it to grab parts of protected files.
Sampling's not going anywhere. As long as enough people want to keep doing it, as long as we realize that we CAN change the music business, as long as we realize that some fat cat sitting in a penthouse office at Capitol Records is an example of a way of doing music biz that's doomeder than the dinosaurs, then we will see:
We live in perhaps the most exciting time for the music business since the phonograph came out.
When the powers that be figure out their copyright laws are unenforceable, restrictive, and bad for business, they will change. I fully expect a golden age of free, legal, sample-able music.
If nothing, capitalism will kill the cat. Under current law, you cant sell anything you make with samples. So sampled music is free, and 'regular music' costs money. If I'm like most music lovers, I'll take the free shit, and go pirate the paid stuff. When it comes time to do some budget reports--youre a sampling producer! You work in a Kinko's or a bar, since you had to make money and you couldnt sell your music. Traditional labels suddenly fall apart because theres no way they can compete with people who would and DO practice their craft every single day for free.
Get excited.
