The Sampling License is essential in today's digital creative landscape where the use of existing audio material in new works has become increasingly common. This document is specifically designed for use in New Zealand, complying with local copyright law and industry standards. It should be used whenever an artist, producer, or content creator wishes to legally incorporate portions of existing copyrighted works into new creative projects. The Sampling License covers crucial elements including the scope of permitted use, territory restrictions, royalty arrangements, and attribution requirements. It provides legal protection for both the original rights holders and the sampling artists, ensuring clear understanding of rights and obligations under New Zealand jurisdiction.
