Record Labels settel $45mil lawsuit

I laughed....
The major record labels are known for their harsh stance on copyright infringements, which in an ironic turn of events is now costing them millions of dollars. Revealing a double standard when it comes to ‘piracy’, Warner Music, Sony BMG Music, EMI Music and Universal Music now have to pay Canadian artists $45 Million for the illegal use of thousands of tracks on compilation CDs.

Many songs move to public domain after being out for a certain length of time (not sure how long) so covers or samples lifted from said songs are not covered under copyright.
Some sampling is allowed regardless of the age.
Often artists will arrange or get permission to do covers/samples/remixes as well
