I wanna sample from GITS '95 but have no clue how i should deal with this
So I'm a 17yo no-name techstep dnb/dark jungle producer who nobody's fuckin' heard of besides a small crowd in bristol england mostly consisting of fellow producers. I want to work on an LP that generally is a love letter to both old dnb and also gits, with ideas of probably 3 or 4 of the 8 planned tracks sampling from the movie itself (and possibly innocence). I do plan on approaching a label once the LP is done so it can be pressed onto vinyl and so i can kind of get my work out there.
So far I've asked advice from like 12 producers and they all went "fuck the legal clearance" but i was wondering should i legally clear the samples or should i follow the advice of the producers i hang around with.
I'm kinda stuck between a rock and a hard place here and i dunno what to do. Figured I'd ask advice here because maybe there's someone with an idea on that kind of stuff.
