I tend to think it depends on if someone is making money
and/or stealing rather than sampling.
The policy of being able to sample but having to clear if you want to release something commercially seems the healthy approach to copyright.
I'm on-the-fence about this law. A Web Sheriff ask-permission-for-everything approach *would* kill the web but YouTube, Facebook et al, do need a slap for making so much money from other people's work. My understanding of the law is that it would just allow people to register their work and not have to play whack-a-mole to have it taken down from major social media sites, which I'm pretty sure big studios can already do. Not sure how workable it is, however, and I'd be wary of potential side-effects if it isn't carefully worded.
