A federal appeals court has ruled that all musical samples must now be paid for, ending the free reign that many artists, especially rappers, had in using past hits to serve as foundations to new tracks.

Artists will now have to pay for ALL samples, even tiny snippets.

"Get a license or do not sample," the court said Tuesday. "We do not see this as stifling creativity in any significant way."

The case was based on the 1990 NWA song 100 Miles and Runnin' which featured a sample from the 1975 song Get Off Your Ass and Jam.
