As far as I can understand, if you use a sample in your recording, you have to get permission from the artist/record company. So my questions are:

A: is this correct?

B: How does one go about this?

C: Do you have to pay money or royalities if you use a sample?

D: Can you get away with using samples without getting permission if you're a small time recording artist who probably won't actually sell your cd's but instead just distribute them for free or post them on a website (i.e. me :D )

I've looked around via http://www.google.com/ but I can't seem to locate a site that gives me the complete info. So any information that you know of would be great.
