I want to make music as a hobby and do not plan for making any profit. Is it okay for me to use vocal samples from another movie and take loops from soundtrack and post it on the net. For example, an anime called Deathnote I want some quotes and sample some of their music into my dnb track. Its not my original work sinced I used it but will I be sued even though its not for sale?
I honestly don't know. Donny used a Lord of the Rings sample in his track They Are Coming, Audio recently used a sample from the new Terminator movie in his track Sector 8, tons of artists using samples from movies these days and they are selling their tunes.. as far as I know they don't get any clearance for the samples.
Legally you can't use any samples of other people without permission in tracks you post online. This counts as publishing, even if you don't earn money.
Chances are you will get away with though because of the massive amount of copyright breaches that happen online every day. Labels are probably more concerned about people torrenting their stuff, and finding their music spread on rapidshare and used as backing tracks in youtube videos.
In any case it is illegal. Your only option is to contact the artist you are sampling from and ask permission. Or make your own samples
So don't upload tracks here with any copyrighted samples, they will be removed when we find out. But if you upload them somewhere else you can always post a link here.

Well thanks for the response. I heard Tyler Straub could not use the song 'Favorite time of year" due to the samples he is using, yet I believe he did not get sued and his song is still floating all over the web lol.
