Sampling Clearance

Commercial sampling requires TWO clearances — the composition (publisher) and the master (label). Without both, you have an unlicensed derivative work.

Negotiate split: publisher cleared via a co-writer share; label cleared via flat fee + royalty.

De minimis use is NOT a safe harbor under Bridgeport.

Plan clearances BEFORE you finalize the record.
