It doesn't necessarily work that way - C&D letter is not like your yellow card. You can still get sued and/or wind up owing money even if you stop on receipt of a letter.

came across this dj rupture quote, although he's talking about mix cds instead of original production that incorporates samples:

"That's an enormous amount of work," he says. "With my previous releases, I would kind of explain to everybody and get verbal permissions from the underground and independent artists, and not even bother with Missy Elliott or any of the major label stuff. But the legal climate for that type of thing has changed -- at least when you're releasing commercial CDs with uncleared tracks on it. It just doesn't make sense to do it anymore. So I don't know what my next mix-CD will be like -- it might just be an online mix available for free. Then I could say, 'If I had a CD for sale, this is what it would be.' But if I did try, it would probably cost me $70,000 because I couldn't get The-Dream to sign off on a cappella or whatever."

it's from here, but it also has girl talk saying some annoying things and i don't want to turn this into the girl talk thread.

Ain't no grudge like a Hütter grudge.

OMG I can't deal with his black eye; that looks so so painful. That man has got to stop injuring himself.
