  • Courts have repeatedly found in favor of copyright owners in cases in which portions of songs have been used without proper authorization. Matthew Yglesias has discussed the rise of sampling litigation in Slate. After the success of sampling in the 1980s, copyright owners won a series of successful lawsuits in the early 1990s, notably Grand Upright Music Ltd v. Warner Bros. Records Inc., 780 F. Supp. 182 (S.D.N.Y. 1991), in which the Southern District of New York granted an injunction against Warner Bros., prohibiting the use of a track that included an unauthorized sample of a song by rapper Biz Markie. In 2005, the Sixth Circuit ruled that sampling constituted copyright infringement in a case involving a two-second guitar chord sample. Brideport Music, Inc. v. Dimension Films, 410 F.3d 792 (6th Cir. 2005).
  • The New York Times criticized TufAmerica in a 2012 article, comparing the company’s practice of buying catalogs of music in order to sue companies that sample the songs to the behavior of “patent trolls” – firms that buy patents solely to profit from suing potential infringers. The Times writer, Eduardo Porter, suggested that aggressive litigation by entities like TufAmerica might stymie innovations in music as well as in technology. In a recent piece in the The Atlantic, Erik Nielson also discussed the impact of such lawsuits on the hip-hop industry, claiming that licensing fees, and the fear of litigation, could make sampling prohibitively expensive for most artists.
