Music samples are a natural parallel.
You cannot sample music without permission no matter how short the sample may be.
Similarly you cannot steal a snippet of someone else's code without permission or the correct licensing.
- wilsonnb3 4y agoEh music sampling is a unique case because of the dual intellectual property concerns (the composition and the recording). I can’t use a snippet from a recording no matter how short but I can use a tiny snippet of a composition. You can’t copyright a single note.
- brigandish 4y agoSo code and mechanical music (i.e. a recording) aren't exactly the same, but code and music compositions are more similar. Can you use a tiny snippet from a composition and still infringe copyright? Yes, you can. Maybe not however short, but there will come a point.
- BeFlatXIII 4y ago> You cannot sample music without permission no matter how short the sample may be. Which is a blatantly mistaken court ruling and one which I will not enforce if I am on a jury in such a trial.
