		TVT Records owned the sound recording “4 My Click,” while TVT Music and DJ Irv Music each held a 50% interest in the composition “4 My Click.” TVT Records had a policy of requiring clearance of all samples in its releases and depended on the “creative types” to identify any samples in a new recording.
		The short answer is that the district court found plaintiffs had failed to present evidence of any direct infringement by TVT within three years preceding the filing of the complaint.
		Carapella testified that TVT Records had a modified arrangement with Diamond Time under which Diamond Time would provide phase one sample clearance services for a fee of $200 and would end its phase two work with the issuance of the Usage Reports for a fee of $40 each.
