Hmm,

Seems to me that you ("HELP" & Teddy, primarily) are speaking about apples
and oranges. AFAI understood Teddy was speaking about lifting samples (vs.
re-recording them) from published records. Therefore his conclusion that
it's OK as long as you don't publish it seems valid to me. You have, after
all, bought the original work and you are allowed to store it on other media
than the original for *personal* use. This, of course, assuming that you
*did* buy the legit piece of work in the first place ;-).

'HELP' was OTOH speaking about samples specifically made for using in
compositional work. And here, again AFAI understand, you cross IP
infringement line the minute you copy, store, or use the stuff (that you
have not bought the right to use), even it it'd be just for "personal" use.

So, two very different scenarios there, methinks.
