In this video, Berklee Online course author Dr. E. Michael Harrington discusses the concept of sampling. Sampling is basically taking something that previously existed and repurposing it to use in your own work. The idea that sampling is “stealing” was once the prevalent thought in the music industry, but as the art evolved and more musicians used sampling to create something new and original, that idea has faded. However, there are still copyright considerations: An individual must ask for permission from the songwriter, publisher, and record label to sample another artist’s composition and sound recording. This means that the songwriter, publisher, or record company could deny permission. Dr. Harrington explores the case of Gilbert O’Sullivan and Biz Markie, which set precedent in asking permission to use a sample in a composition.
