It is an infringement of copyright to use a “substantial” part of a work without permission, but there has been a lot of argument about exactly what “substantial” means and there has not been a test case to establish the law.Sampling has become such an industry that many CDs have been produced containing the work of the original artists for listeners who only know a few seconds of their tracks.. If I give a performance and you do something with it that is detrimental to my reputation, I should be able to complain about it.”The current law on copyright for the music industry is a legal minefield. He said: “Copyright is an economic right but moral rights are to do with integrity. As most samples distort the extracts from the originals, this could provide more work for the lawyers.Karl Whitfield of the Patent Office said giving moral rights to performers for the first time would mean they would have to be credited for their work when it was used. They will also be given a right to object to any modification made to their performances that are “prejudicial to the performer’s reputation”. The regulations will give all performers a moral right to their work, bringing them in line with authors who have held similar moral rights since 1988.The regulations, which come into force in the new year, give performers the right to be identified as the performer on any records where their work has been sampled. That sparked a legal dispute over whether Mr Klein, the Stones’ former manager, or Andrew Loog Oldham, whose orchestra performed the sampled recording, had the copyright.However, under new regulations, which were published yesterday by the Patent Office, the Verve would have to credit the Rolling Stones before sampling their work.

The Verve got clearing from Allen Klein before using a clip from an orchestral version of the Rolling Stones’ “The Last Time” for their “Bitter Sweet Symphony”. Ms Yarborough initially opposed the use of her sample but warmed to the idea after CD buyers became interested in her other work.Some bands have sought permission but still fallen foul of the law. Some artists call it paying “homage” Others call it plagiarism. But however you term “sampling”, the rules are about to change. From next year, artists such as Fatboy Slim, who have become famous for taking samples from other recordings, will have a “moral duty” to credit the original artists before they can use their work in songs.
Sampling – the use of short extracts of other works mixed into a contemporary song – has caused legal disputes over whether it infringes copyright, giving strength to the saying in the music industry that “where there’s a hit, there’s a writ”.The anger of many of those being sampled has often changed to gratitude as a new generation appreciates their work for the first time, but some samples have led to court disputes.Fatboy Slim had a worldwide hit with “Praise You”, which sampled a song by the blues singer Camille Yarborough.

In total 11 people from Belmarsh are eventually placed on control orders.13 MARCH 2005: Anti-terrorist laws introduced in the wake of 11 September attacks expire.11 AUGUST: 10 suspected extremistsseized and imprisoned as Government announces attempt to have them deported.. A fourth arrived in Britain in 1993 and is accused of involvement with a group said to have links to Bin Laden and al-Qa’ida and to sponsor young Muslims to go to Afghanistan for jihad.Shami Chakrabarti, director of the civil rights group Liberty, said: “What separates us from the terrorists is that we do not torture people or send them to be tortured. He absconded from Yarlswood Detention Centre after a fire in February 2002 but was rearrested in September 2002.Another man in his thirties is alleged to have provided satellite phones for extremists. “Following months of diplomatic work we now have got reason to believe that we can get the necessary assurances from the countries to which we will return the deportees, so that they will not be subject to torture or ill-treatment.”Mr Qatada, 44, faces being sent back to his homeland of Jordan, where he has been convicted of terrorism in his absence. It is vital that we act against those who threaten it,” the Home Secretary said. But under international law, Charles Clarke has been prevented from deporting people to countries where they face inhumane treatment.”The circumstances of our national security has changed. They are working on similar agreements with Algeria, Lebanon and other countries.The Home Secretary already has the power under the 1971 Immigration Act to deport foreigners he believes pose a threat to national security.

The Home Office is drawing up measures to prevent Mr Bakri from returning to the UK.Yesterday’s raids were prompted by the growing frustration within the Government at the apparent inability of the courts and police to tackle extremists thought to constitute a threat to national security but against whom there is no evidence of criminal activity.The Home Office has agreed a deal with Jordan that deportees will not be mistreated. Mr Qatada is one of seven men detained yesterday who had been held at Belmarsh Prison in south-east London but freed after a landmark House of Lords ruling.The cleric and the other six “Belmarsh” suspects – all Algerians – detained yesterday were being held under the controversial control orders. The seven, plus three other men, were detained after raids in London, Luton, West Midlands, and Leicestershire and taken to different prisons.Meanwhile, Omar Bakri Mohammed, the Islamic extremist cleric who left Britain at the weekend, was arrested by Lebanese security forces in Beirut but is thought to have been released later. Lawyers are preparing to challenge the Home Secretary in a renewed legal clash that could drag on for years.

Among those detained in a series of early morning raids was Abu Qatada, a Jordanian cleric previously described as “al-Qa’ida’s ambassador to Europe”. A fresh legal battle to deport suspected Islamic extremists from Britain began yesterday as police detained 10 foreign nationals, including a radical preacher. Human rights lawyers said the Government’s actionscould result in innocent people being deported to Algeria and Jordan, where they could face torture and other inhumane treatment.

He is a truly dangerous individual.”We have no doubt that his beliefs are extreme and are indeed a perversion of Islam for the purposes of encouraging violence.”Mr Qatada was freed from Belmarsh on conditional bail by Siac in March this year and shortly afterwards was handed a control order designed to limit his movements and contact with other people.It was the Spanish judge Baltasar Garzon who labelled him Bin Laden’s spiritual leader during an investigation into Spanish ties to the 11 September attacks.Mr Qatada, who tried to get indefinite leave to remain in Britain in May 1998 in an application which was not decided at the time of his detention, has denied meeting Osama bin Laden or being his ambassador in Europe.. For 10 months Mr Qatada – whose real name is Omar Mahmoud Mohammed Othman – evaded capture. But he was arrested in an armed raid on a council house in south London in October 2002.While the Special Immigration Appeal Tribunal (Siac), which heard an appeal against his detention, rejected claims he headed al-Qa’ida in Europe, its chairman Mr Justice Collins said: “The appellant was heavily involved, indeed was at the centre, in the United Kingdom of terrorist activities associated with al-Qa’ida. Four years later he reportedly made a speech advocating killing Jews.In February 2001, the cleric was arrested by anti-terror officers because he was suspected of involvement with plot to bomb the Strasbourg Christmas market. No charges were brought due to insufficient evidence.Just before new laws were passed in December 2001 – allowing terror suspects to be detained without charge or trial – he disappeared from his home in Acton, west London. Abu Qatada, often referred to as Osama bin Laden’s “spiritual ambassador in Europe”, has been accused of playing a “vitally important” role in radicalising young British Muslims and recruiting for al-Qa’ida.
