Rappers "get away with sampling" by paying money to license the samples.

Well I am not a lawyer, but a Brittish songwriter/producer pensioned in
Thailand is very bittered every time I talk to them. Because people are
using samples from his songs change every 4th bar or so and then he gets
no more rights paid, because it is a "different" work. These are his
words not mine. He still does well though.
