if anything, just don't sample melodies and riffs from your fellow genre producers like an inbred twat. common elements that have been ripped and used times over are ok(grey area), ie. in drum and bass it would be the tramen break, locust reece, etc..

i agree but you still have to be careful you never know what can happen.. that is all . and im talking to people if you are going to press it..
