| | TAXI FAQs: Copyright Information: Music, Money, and Sampling |
 | | There are many definitions of the word "sampling"; in briefest terms, it is when a songwriter, recording artist or record producer takes a portion of an existing song, existing recording, or both and puts them it into a new song, recording or both. |
 | | As part of any negotiations, the music publisher or record company owning the sampled composition or master recording will request a copy of the new recording for review, review of the sampled section, and determine its importance and value to the new song or record. |
 | | If the sample is not approved, the sample can be deleted from the recording before it is released without any harm to the new recording artist, record producer, record company, songwriter and music publisher. |
