Sampling Laws

[Icemanbeats]

I heard not so long ago that it's legal to take a sample off a record that's at least 50 years old, but recently I heard it was 75 years. Which is true? Would I be infringing any copyright laws if i blatantly sampled something from say 1955 and then released it?

i believe its 75 years after the copyright owner dies
