You just started a long flaming
discussion.

I think it is immoral to make people ask you every time they
wanna use
your work. I mean, I am sitting at home and I have a sound editor
and
I record an audio signal of a movie that is playing. Then I cut out
samples
out of this recording. Does it mean that some guy there actually
owns my
freedom and I am obliged to go ask permission whether I can cut out
samples
from a movie he once did?
But of course these sampling
questions are very controversial. I have no desire to start
a long flaming
discussion. Just cleared up my position on that.

If you ask
the right person nicely, you will get the license 90% of the
time. A
friend of mine recently obtained a license from a very famous
movie
director, to use a sample from his latest movie. Guess what, he
gave
his permission for free as long as the sample is not used in
another
movie... :-)
