I don't think you can honestly sample a modern song and twist it to legally get away with it. Its kind of murky actually due to claims of fair use having artists now being given some leeway.

But one way to really get around the copyright issue is to use music who's copyright has expired. Archive.org's got some music from the 20's and earlier which I believe have expired copyright. Some of the quality is quite bad but some of its actually pretty good.

I haven't read the second page of this topic, so I reacted to the original dare 3:

In music, sampling is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of one sound recording and reusing it as an instrument or a different sound recording of a song or piece. The widespread use of sampling in popular music originated with the birth of electronic dance music, hip hop music and industrial music in the late 1970s to early 1980s. This is typically done with a sampler, which can be a piece of hardware or a computer program. Sampling is also possible with tape loops or with vinyl records on a phonograph.

In forums, spamming is the act of taking a portion, or sample, of text and reposting it as a message in as many places as possible, often matching a keyword for the text with a keyword on the forum to make it seem "original," and with advertising links included in the message or the signature. The widespread use of spamming in popular Web forums originated with the greed and disrespect of advertisers in the early 1990s and continues on today. This is typically done with a script, which is a computer program. Spamming is also possible using people who are paid fractions of a cent to post the junk to as many forums as they can, to bypass CAPTCHA systems.
