Court rules "sampling" may violate piracy law

This story made me of the Metallica Hoax that came out in 2003. While I won't rehash the story here, I will say that in my opinion, the only reason it got any traction at all was because Lars Ulrich's previous courtroom adventures gave it just enough of a ring of truth that people (myself included) could believe it.

This article makes me wonder if we might see another story like this, only not a hoax. Rumors persist that Sean Combs/Puff Daddy/P Diddy/Whatever he's calling himself today has gone into hiding.
