Hm i dont know if this is the right place to ask, but lets say i find an old song, maybe a song by Pink Floyd, and i want to sample it and add my creative beats to it, and make it a hip hop song/beat. What do i have to do with the sample? Can i sample it without permission? If i do will i get in trouble? Do i have to get permission?

you can sample it without permission but i think if you want to sell the beat then you need permission to sell it. but if its for something like a free mixtape or even a free album you can use it.

My man Mnemonic always tells me not to worry about copyright. We're not big enough artists to get into trouble for copyright infringement especially if you chop it well enough to the point that it's hard to tell that you sampled that artist. Copyright infringement laws usually only catch the bigger artists who are signed and even some of them, like Immortal Technique, have it set up where the cost to stop him from using the sample makes it not worth it to sue him for copyright so no one goes through the trouble to do so.
