<div><br>Yeah, the caselaw that I recall says that you don't..although we have discussed hypotheticals in law school where when the infringing part is so separate from the rest of the work that there may still be a copyright in the rest of it (imagine a 3 second sample once during a 10 minute song.) This is not the case here. <br>

Hmm..if people remix GT's "CC" album and also get sued, now that would be a case...<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jul 2, 2008 at 5:35 PM, Fred Benenson <<a href="mailto:fred.benenson@gmail.com" target="_blank">fred.benenson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>

And it doesn't explain the situation to consumers, who will assume that<br>
the license means that they can't be hassled over posessing an<br>
infringing work.<br>
