Is this form of musical plagarism legal?

"SOS" features a sample of the classic 1981 tune "Tainted Love" by Soft Cell, a cover of the song by Gloria Jones, written by Ed Cobb, who receives co-songwriting credit. Some of the lines are taken from or inspired by the original song, including "I toss and turn, I can't sleep at night". One interesting aspect of the song is that Island Def Jam Records allows free listening of the song on demand via their Web site, as well as on Rihanna's MySpace.

Bono (with Edee/Eno of the genius U2) and the previous due large Luciano Pavarotti They carried out the song "leave out Sarajevo" jointly stay (among others) at a Conspiracy of desire stay overall performance in Modena in September 1995. The unchallenged mastery of U2 blended with the vocal genius of Pavarotti, (and a stay objective audience ecosystem), made this song in order that eye-catching that tears can pass! it is obtainable on the U2 album "Duets". in spite of the undeniable fact that, no longer all collaborations are helpful, even nevertheless it is probable purely a rely of opinion. the comparable U2 carried out their magnificent unique hit "One" (off Achtung toddler) in collaboration with Mary J Blige (I had to "google" her call it grow to be that undesirable in my view!) After the genius of the 1991 unique, I worry this test in around 2007 grow to be a failure with the vocal forms of Bono and Blige in basic terms no longer mixing. Blige is an R&B, Hip Hop and Soul artist and for those hardcore U2 followers no longer into those generes that's a no longer hassle-free pill to swallow. This failure to mixture the two types in basic terms did no longer come off, spoiling an otherwise staggering unique. The latter explaination is likewise section argument for what makes a collaboration helpful. Clashing types (generes) do no longer constantly artwork. a rely of opinion and musical flavor! And if it is not broken, do no longer restoration it! :-)

the writer of the song not the singer has to give permission for you to sample their song,

some rap songs had to be recalled because the artist did not have permission
