Does anyone know how long the sample is? I'd heard that current law
on sampling had a minimum length before legal action could be taken.

I'd be interested in hearing if there is; it sounds like one of those
copyright myths that makes the rounds in the music community and on the net.

What consists of alteration? Rage Against the Machine remade Bruce
Springsteen's "The Ghost of Tom Joad," but reworked the music quite a
bit. It's quite brilliant, and the lyrics are still the same. Would
that require permission?

Well, if they copped the lyrics word for word, then they probably got
permission or a compulsory license (depending on whether the new music was
substantially different from original). As far as the definition of
"alteration" goes, that's the word I chose based upon what people have
been saying here. You should check the US Copyright Office Web site to see
the actual language for the statutory licensing scheme. As I recall, it
uses phrases like "shall maintain the character of the original version"
or words to that effect. BTW, is Springsteen mentioned in the credits for
the Rage Against the Machine version?

I don't know. Probably. I dont' own the actual single, which is
bundled with a live album.

There is also some rule about how much of a song you can
play or sing on radio or TV before mechanical reproduction rights
have to be paid. Similair, but not the same as using a sample of
a song in another song. This is the case of 'stand alone' elements.
Otherwise, Alexander Courage would be much richer from the number
of time Kenvin Ubanks uses The Theme from Star Trek: The First Few
Notes.

Again, if you know where this is written, please tell me so I can find it.
I think you are refering to a myth.

RE#100? -- ANy length of a sample. There is no minimum length.
Getting back to the items topic, it's sad to me to see many songs that
I like being listed as the worst ever.
But there's no risk with this one: Don Johnson "Heartbeat"
IT gives me the willies just thinking about it.

Did anyone catch the MTV special of the worst videos? They decided that the
top 10 on the list would never be played again. My favorite moment was when
Vanilla Ice destroyed the master of "Ice Ice Baby" on the air, guaranteeing
that it would never be played again.

I did! It was hilarious :)
However, I don't think MTV would really play anything that old, really--
I doubt its target audience is thrilled with most of the 80's.
I always figured MTV sent its old stuff to VH1.

(...or to M2. I remember catching Marky Mark's "Good Vibrations" there
over the summer.)

I wouldn't know-- you usually don't get M2 out here unless you've got
satellite.
