how does copyright apply to collage?

Subject: Re: how does copyright apply to collage?

: An artist can use bits of images (or other recognizable media) in creating a new, original work without being attacked on copyright grounds. : If a musician uses samples in his/her work, they are subject to the limitations of copyright. : Is this simply because the copyright holder of a piece of music is more likely to defend their copyright (and share royalties etc)? : If so, why is sampled music (some call it audio collage) not given the same room to exist? : Music, after all, is a form of art. : I'm trying to establish the difference between music works and other art works in terms of collage/sampling, Fair Use notwithstanding. : Thanks : A Elkin
